Passing Subject One is required before starting practical driving training. Below are relevant details about the Subject One exam: 1. Exam Content: The test covers theoretical driving knowledge, road safety laws and regulations, local traffic rules, and related information. The exam is computer-based with 100 questions, requiring a score of 90 or above to pass. 2. Payment Methods: The retake fee for Subject One can be paid at the local vehicle management office or through the driving school, which will then submit it to the vehicle management office. Alternatively, if available, online payment can be made through the traffic management website.

I experienced this when learning to drive - you must pass Subject 1 before getting behind-the-wheel training. This regulation stems from safety considerations. Passing the theory exam proves you've mastered basic traffic rules and operational knowledge, reducing accident risks during practice. I remember needing to show my Subject 1 score sheet to schedule practical lessons - coaches wouldn't let students touch the vehicle otherwise. The advantage is building foundational knowledge first to minimize dangerous situations during actual training. I advise new learners not to rush into practical sessions but spend more time preparing for Subject 1 to pass on the first attempt, avoiding retakes that delay progress. Additionally, safety lectures from the driving school must be completed before practical training to reinforce awareness. Ultimately, this standard procedure makes learning to drive smoother and safer when followed properly.

From a safety perspective, passing Subject 1 (theoretical exam) is mandatory before getting behind the wheel—it's a matter of great importance. Failing the theory test indicates unfamiliarity with basic traffic signals or parking rules, which could easily lead to accidents due to ignorance when driving. I learned this firsthand during my own driving lessons—classmates who didn’t study Subject 1 seriously struggled during practical sessions, forcing the instructor to frequently intervene. These regulations are strictly enforced by traffic authorities: only after obtaining the written test certification will instructors arrange for you to practice reversing or turning. Remember, safety is no trivial matter—prepare thoroughly for Subject 1 to avoid holding things up. As a side note, passing the written test also improves on-road training efficiency, saving both time and money.

Yes, you must pass Subject 1 before starting practical driving training. The theoretical exam is a crucial threshold - only after passing it can you proceed to the practical phase, just like in driving schools. Otherwise, you can't even touch the vehicle. In my case, I started hands-on training the very next day after passing Subject 1. The entire process is quite standardized to prevent potential dangers caused by poor foundational knowledge. Remember to ask your instructor about details frequently during training - it will help you progress faster.

What is the method for judging the distance to the car behind using the interior rearview mirror?

The method for judging the distance to the car behind using the interior rearview mirror is: 1. When the rear car's engine hood is visible in the interior rearview mirror but the grille is not, it indicates a distance of about 3 meters from the rear car; 2. When the rear car's grille is visible in the interior rearview mirror, it indicates a distance of about 8 meters from the rear car; 3. When the rear car's wheels are fully visible in the interior rearview mirror, it indicates a distance of more than 20 meters from the rear car. The adjustment method for the interior rearview mirror is: place the distant horizon at the midline of the interior rearview mirror, then move left and right until the image of the right ear is just at the left edge of the mirror. The function of the car's interior rearview mirror is to reflect the situation behind, beside, and below the car, expanding the driver's field of vision.

What is the charging voltage for a 12V battery?

12V lead-acid battery's maximum charging voltage is around 15V. The battery's lifespan and charging precautions are as follows: Charging precautions: Generally, after the electric vehicle charger's indicator turns green, floating charge for 1-2 hours can end the charging process. The charging time is usually controlled within 8-10 hours and should not exceed 12 hours. If charged overnight, the charging time will far exceed 12 hours. Overcharging an electric vehicle battery can cause a large amount of gas to erode the battery's plates, leading to the detachment of active material and ultimately reducing the battery's service life. Battery lifespan: Under ideal conditions, the number of charging cycles can reach approximately 1000-2000 times while still maintaining over 70% of usable capacity. For PHEVs, a single cycle typically covers about 50-80 kilometers, so before the battery is scrapped, it can be used purely electrically for about 100,000 kilometers.

What are the gear positions in BMW cars?

BMW cars have gear positions including P, D, N, R, and S. The usage methods for P, D, N, and R gears are as follows. Usage of P and D gears: The P gear is the parking gear, used when the car is not driven for a long time; the D gear is the drive gear. By holding down the lock button on the left side of the gear lever and pulling it backward, a green 'D' will appear on the gear lever, indicating the car is in D gear. Usage of N and R gears The N gear is the neutral gear, used when the car is parked for a short time without turning off the engine, such as when waiting at a red light or in traffic. Push the gear lever forward until an 'N' appears on it, indicating the car is in N gear. The R gear is the reverse gear, used when the car is moving backward. Hold down the lock button on the left side of the gear lever and push the gear lever forward until an 'R' lights up, indicating the car is in reverse gear.

What Causes Engine Ignition Delay?

Engine ignition delay can be caused by a faulty camshaft sensor, insufficient oil pressure, or a malfunctioning carbon canister solenoid valve. The details are as follows: Faulty camshaft sensor: If the timing alignment is confirmed to be correct, the focus should be on checking whether the camshaft position sensor is functioning properly. Insufficient oil pressure: Gasoline pump pressure leakage or poor injector sealing can lead to inadequate gasoline pressure, resulting in prolonged ignition time. Malfunctioning carbon canister solenoid valve: Difficulty in ignition after exposure to sunlight, but without requiring a second ignition attempt, usually indicates an issue with the carbon canister solenoid valve. This is because gasoline evaporation is particularly strong after exposure to sunlight, and poor sealing of the carbon canister valve can easily lead to cylinder flooding or wet wall conditions.

What Causes the Unpleasant Smell in Car Air Conditioning?

There are two main reasons for the unpleasant smell in car air conditioning: issues with the cabin air filter or problems with the evaporator. Details are as follows: Cabin Air Filter Issues: The function of the cabin air filter is straightforward—it filters the air blown out by the air conditioning to prevent impurities from entering the cabin. However, if the cabin air filter is severely contaminated, it not only fails to protect the cabin environment but also causes secondary pollution to the cabin air. Evaporator Issues: When the evaporator is working to cool the air, it encounters relatively hot outside air, causing moisture to form on its surface. This moisture easily traps dust, insects, and other impurities. Over time, in a constantly damp environment, these trapped substances can ferment, mold, and breed bacteria. When the air conditioning is turned on again, the fan will blow these harmful substances directly into the cabin.
