Touching the line with the car body means the car body crosses the line, which results in a deduction of 100 points, making the test unsuccessful. Crossing the line with the car body, failing to enter the garage, stopping midway, not following the prescribed route or sequence, or exceeding the time limit will also result in a deduction of 100 points. The full score for both subjects is 100 points, with evaluation criteria set for failure, deduction of 20 points, deduction of 10 points, and deduction of 5 points. The rules for the Subject 2 test of the motor vehicle driver's license application state that stopping or rolling back midway during the test, or not following the voice prompts, will result in failure. If the wheels or car body touch the line, the test will be considered unsuccessful. Many learners encounter the issue of touching the line during Subject 2 training, and "touching the line" is the most common mistake leading to failure. The main reason for touching the line is that learners fail to grasp the correct timing for steering. Besides missing the right moment to steer, another reason could be that the steering speed does not match the car's speed. Subject 2 Deduction Standards: Not wearing a seatbelt: Deduct 100 points. Starting the engine without the gear in neutral: Deduct 100 points. Not using the turn signal (including starting, changing lanes, overtaking, turning, or parking); using the turn signal for less than three seconds (note that this is easily overlooked!); forgetting to turn off the turn signal or using it incorrectly: Deduct 10 points. Stalling once: Deduct 10 points. Reversing into the Garage: Not following the prescribed route or sequence: Deduct 100 points. Car body crossing the line: Deduct 100 points. Failing to reverse into the garage: Deduct 100 points. Before reversing, if both front wheels do not pass the control line: Deduct 100 points. Exceeding the 210-second time limit: Deduct 100 points. Stopping for more than 2 seconds midway: Deduct 5 points each time. Slope Parking and Starting: After stopping, if the front bumper is not aligned with the pole line and exceeds 50 cm forward or backward: Deduct 100 points. After stopping, if the front bumper is not aligned with the pole line but does not exceed 50 cm forward or backward: Deduct 10 points. After stopping, if the starting time exceeds 30 seconds: Deduct 100 points. Driving with wheels touching the road edge line: Deduct 100 points. Starting with the car rolling back more than 30 cm: Deduct 100 points. After stopping, if the car body is more than 50 cm away from the road edge line: Deduct 100 points. After parking, not tightening the parking brake: Deduct 10 points per occurrence. After stopping, if the car body is more than 30 cm but less than 50 cm away from the road edge line: Deduct 10 points per occurrence. Starting with the car rolling back more than 10 cm but less than 30 cm: Deduct 5 points per occurrence. Parallel Parking: After parking, if the car body crosses the line: Deduct 100 points. Not using or incorrectly using the turn signal when entering the garage: Deduct 10 points. Exceeding the 90-second time limit: Deduct 100 points. Driving with the car body touching the garage edge line: Deduct 10 points per occurrence. Driving with wheels touching the lane edge line: Deduct 10 points per occurrence. Stopping for more than 2 seconds midway: Deduct 5 points per occurrence. 90-Degree Turn: Wheels touching the road edge line: Deduct 100 points. Not using or incorrectly using the turn signal during the turn, or not turning it off after the turn: Deduct 10 points. Stopping for more than 2 seconds midway: Deduct 5 points per occurrence. Curve Driving: Wheels touching the road edge line: Deduct 100 points. Stopping for more than 2 seconds midway: Deduct 100 points. Driving without the gear in second or higher: Deduct 5 points.

What does 94v on a tire mean?

Tire 94v indicates that the tire has a maximum load capacity of 670 kilograms and a maximum speed of 240 kilometers per hour. The functions of a tire are: 1. To support the entire weight of the vehicle and bear the load of the car; 2. To transmit traction and braking torque, ensuring the adhesion between the wheels and the road surface; 3. To reduce and absorb vibrations and impact forces during driving, preventing severe vibrations and early damage to car components; 4. To adapt to the high-speed performance of the vehicle and reduce noise during driving, ensuring driving safety, handling stability, comfort, and fuel economy. Methods for tire maintenance include: 1. Regularly cleaning stones from the tire treads; 2. Minimizing exposure to direct sunlight; 3. Promptly checking tire pressure; 4. Paying attention to suspension maintenance; 5. Regularly inspecting front wheel alignment.

What are the reasons for difficult car ignition?

Car ignition difficulties can be caused by: 1. Excessive carbon buildup or blockage in the exhaust port and muffler; 2. Weak spark plug ignition energy; 3. Insufficient low pressure in the fuel line; 4. Battery depletion; 5. Exhaust pipe blockage; 6. Overly rich or lean air-fuel mixture; 7. Incorrect engine timing; 8. Poor oil fluidity. Solutions for difficult car ignition include: 1. Replace with higher fluidity engine oil; 2. Preheat the vehicle before ignition; 3. Clean carbon deposits promptly; 4. Replace spark plugs and charge the battery. Car ignition procedure: Insert the key into the ignition lock, turn on the ignition switch, observe whether all instruments are working normally, start the engine. If instruments show abnormal operation, immediately turn off the engine, inspect and troubleshoot before restarting the engine.

What Are the Consequences of a Broken Timing Belt?

Here are the consequences of a broken timing belt in a car: 1. A broken timing belt will cause the car to lose power. 2. The car will experience weak acceleration and unstable idling. 3. The engine will produce abnormal noises. When the timing belt breaks, due to inertia, the crankshaft continues to drive the pistons up and down, while the valves remain stationary because the camshaft stops rotating. This results in bent valve stems and dented piston crowns. In severe cases, the engine may require major repairs or even be completely scrapped. Additional information: Generally, vehicles need to replace the timing belt after driving 30,000 to 80,000 kilometers. If the timing belt shows signs of hardening, wear, fiber breakage, cracks, or fissures, it indicates that the belt is damaged and should no longer be used.

What is the difference between a torsion beam and independent suspension in cars?

Independent suspension has the advantages of being lightweight, reducing the impact on the vehicle body, and improving wheel traction. The torsion beam's advantages include simple structure, easy maintenance, and high strength to withstand external collisions. Below is information about independent suspension: 1. Independent suspension means that the wheels on each side of the car are individually suspended under the frame or body through an elastic suspension system. 2. The advantages are that the wheels on both sides can move independently without interfering with each other, reducing body tilt and vibration, improving ride smoothness and handling stability, and enhancing passenger comfort. 3. Based on different structural forms, independent suspension systems can be further divided into MacPherson strut, double-wishbone, multi-link, and torsion bar types. Among these, the MacPherson suspension is the most versatile, with many variants, and is also the most widely used.

What is the difference between a C1 and C2 driver's license?

c1 driver's license is one of the codes for motor vehicle driver's licenses; the permitted driving scope of a C1 driver's license includes small and micro passenger vehicles, light and micro cargo vehicles; light, small, and micro special operation vehicles; small passenger vehicles with a seating capacity of 9 or fewer. c2 driver's license is for small automatic transmission vehicles. Compared to the C1 driver's license, the C2 has the additional condition of being for automatic transmission. Therefore, a C2 driver's license only permits driving small vehicles equipped with automatic transmissions (AT, CVT, DCT, AMT) and does not allow driving small vehicles with manual transmissions (MT). The difference between C1 and C2 lies in the type of vehicle used for training and testing. C1 is for manual transmission small vehicle licenses, while C2 is for automatic transmission small vehicle licenses. A C1 license allows driving both small manual and automatic transmission vehicles, whereas a C2 license only permits driving small automatic transmission vehicles.
