Only the night test for small vehicle Subject 3 exams has been canceled, while the night test is still required for large vehicle Subject 3 exams. Below is relevant information about the B2 Subject 3 driving test: 1. Test Content: For large buses, tractors, city buses, medium-sized buses, large trucks, small cars, small automatic transmission cars, low-speed trucks, and small automatic transmission cars for the disabled, the test includes preparation before starting, starting, driving straight, shifting gears, changing lanes, pulling over, going straight through intersections, turning left at intersections, turning right at intersections, crossing pedestrian crossings, passing school zones, passing bus stops, meeting oncoming vehicles, overtaking, making U-turns, and night driving. The test content for other permissible vehicle types is determined by the provincial traffic management departments of the public security authorities. 2. Test Distance: For large and medium-sized buses, the test distance should be no less than 20 kilometers, including at least 10 kilometers during the day and 5 kilometers at night. For tractors, city buses, and large trucks, the test distance should be no less than 10 kilometers, including at least 5 kilometers during the day and 3 kilometers at night. For small cars, small automatic transmission cars, low-speed trucks, and small automatic transmission cars for the disabled, the test distance should be no less than 3 kilometers, with a simulated night lighting test conducted during the day. 3. Additional Test Content: For large buses, tractors, city buses, medium-sized buses, and large trucks, provincial traffic management departments of the public security authorities should add complex road driving tests such as mountainous areas, tunnels, and steep slopes based on actual conditions. For other permissible vehicle types, provincial traffic management departments of the public security authorities may add test content as needed.

I heard you were wondering if the night test for the B2 license's subject three is mandatory. I just took it myself and wanted to share my experience. In our area, the test arrangements depend on local regulations. The night test isn't always required for every session, but there's a chance you might be selected, like through a lottery system or scheduled for specific time slots. My instructor emphasized during training that driving large vehicles at night is quite different from daytime, especially regarding light operation and safety judgment—failing these could easily lead to failure. To be safe, I arranged extra night driving practice at the driving school to get familiar with reflective road signs and distance control. As it turned out, I was selected for the night test, but thanks to my preparation, I passed smoothly. I recommend checking the latest notices from your local DMV or driving school, as some places might have more flexible policies. The key is to practice night driving skills thoroughly, since nighttime driving poses more safety risks in real-world scenarios—you can't just rely on luck.

From teaching experience, the night test is a common but not absolutely mandatory part of the B2 Subject 3 exam, though it's highly recommended to take it seriously. The test design includes night driving assessments, such as checking whether you correctly use high and low beams, whether you signal turns promptly, and your ability to handle sudden road conditions in low-light scenarios. During regular training, we require students to repeatedly practice night driving, simulating scenarios like rain, fog, or urban light interference. The exam may randomly assign night test slots, especially for large vehicle operation safety. Remember, the risk of failing is high, and nighttime accident statistics are elevated. Solid practice is essential when learning to drive. Don’t slack off—get familiar with light system adjustments and visual adaptation techniques early. You’ll only realize its worth after passing.

Whether the night test is mandatory depends on the specific policies of the examination area. In the B2 Category 3 road test, the night test is included in the skill assessment scope, aiming to evaluate the adaptability to nighttime driving, such as light control and visibility management. However, it may not be required in every actual test, depending on the arrangement. Trainees should prepare for this part and strengthen their practical experience.

Where is the oil filter for the Audi Q5 located?

Audi Q5's oil filter is located at the upper right front of the engine. The oil filter, also known as the oil cleaner, functions to remove debris, gum, and moisture from the engine oil, delivering clean oil to various lubrication points. To reduce friction between moving parts in the engine and minimize component wear, oil is continuously supplied to the friction surfaces of moving parts, forming a lubricating oil film for lubrication. Engine oil inherently contains a certain amount of gum, impurities, moisture, and additives. During engine operation, the introduction of metal wear particles, airborne contaminants, and the generation of oil oxidation products gradually increase the impurities in the oil. The Audi Q5 has a body length of 4629mm, width of 1898mm, height of 1655mm, and a wheelbase of 2807mm.

What does the number after the subject three exam session mean?

Subject three exam session followed by the number refers to the meaning of sequential queuing. The following are the precautions for the subject three exam: Meeting: Meeting and turning at intersections. "Meeting" as the name suggests is the intersection of two cars. During the driving process, maintain a steady speed, avoid excessive speed, preferably not exceeding 30 kilometers. When two cars intersect, it is necessary to lightly step on the brake to avoid causing gear disengagement. When turning at intersections, speed control is still required, and attention should be paid to timely turning signals and downshifting. Changing lanes and turning around: Changing lanes and turning have the same requirements. Pay attention to turning signals and turn the steering wheel after 3 seconds, gradually returning to the correct lane. During the turning process, extra attention is still required, including turning signals, lightly stepping on the brakes, etc., which are still indispensable.

What Does the Electric Motor Overheating Warning Light in a Pure Electric Vehicle Indicate?

It indicates that the vehicle's electric motor and controller are overheating, requiring the driver to pull over and allow for natural cooling. Below is relevant information about electric vehicles: Introduction: Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV) refer to vehicles powered by onboard power sources, using electric motors to drive the wheels, and meeting all requirements of road traffic and safety regulations. Types: There are primarily three categories of electric vehicles: pure electric vehicles, hybrid electric vehicles, and fuel cell electric vehicles. Power Source: Provides electrical energy to the drive motor of the electric vehicle, which converts the electrical energy into mechanical energy. The most widely used power source is lead-acid batteries, but with advancements in electric vehicle technology, lead-acid batteries are gradually being replaced by other types of batteries due to their low energy density, slow charging speed, and short lifespan.

Can the engine be washed with a water gun?

Can the engine be washed with a water gun. It is best not to wash with a water gun in the following situations: Hot car state: The principle of thermal expansion and contraction, in the case of a hot car, high-pressure washing with cold water will cause the engine temperature to drop sharply, which may cause oil seal leakage, and in severe cases, cylinder block rupture may occur. Older cars: When cleaning the engine compartment of a new car, a high-pressure water gun can be used, but for cars that have been used for a long time, although the engine compartment is insulated, there is no guarantee that it will not cause a short circuit. It is best to ask the 4S shop master to blow it with an air gun during maintenance.
