It is not recommended to purchase a car with a repaired C-pillar, as this indicates structural damage to the vehicle, which can significantly affect the overall strength of the car and may lead to secondary accidents. Here’s an introduction to the car's skeletal structure: 1. Four Beams: The four beams refer to the front anti-collision beam, rear anti-collision beam, bottom beam, and upper side beam. The anti-collision beams are mainly used to reduce repair costs during low to medium-speed collisions and can, to some extent, mitigate injuries to passengers. 2. Six Pillars: The six pillars refer to the A, B, and C pillars (one set on each side). The A, B, and C pillars are the rigid connection points between the cockpit and the car’s roof, directly impacting the safety of the passenger compartment.

Should You Shift Gear or Release the Handbrake First in an Automatic Transmission?

In an automatic transmission, you should first shift to D (Drive) gear and then release the handbrake. Here is some relevant information: 1. Automatic Transmission: As the name suggests, an automatic transmission does not require the driver to manually shift gears. The vehicle automatically selects the appropriate gear based on driving speed and traffic conditions. 2. Automatic Transmission System: The automatic transmission system uses planetary gear mechanisms for shifting. It automatically changes gears based on the degree of accelerator pedal pressure and changes in vehicle speed, while the driver only needs to control the speed using the accelerator pedal. Common types of automatic transmissions in vehicles include: hydraulic automatic transmissions, hydrostatic automatic transmissions, electric automatic transmissions, stepped mechanical automatic transmissions, and continuously variable mechanical automatic transmissions.

The following are the four subjects for obtaining a driver's license: 1. Subject 1: Traffic regulations and related knowledge - written test, with a full score of 100, and a passing score of 90 or above (including 90); 2. Subject 2: Field driving - on-site, actual vehicle. It is divided into pass and fail.
