Subject 4 does not require a fee. Details are as follows: 1. No fee required: If you fail Subject 4, you do not need to retake the previously passed subjects (Subject 1, Subject 2, Subject 3). You can schedule a retest on your own without paying any retest fees. Currently, there are no restrictions on scheduling the safety and civilized driving theory test. However, the validity period of the driving skill test permit is three years. If the applicant does not complete the test within the validity period, the results of the already passed subjects will be invalidated. 2. Main content includes: requirements for safe and civilized driving operations, knowledge of safe driving under adverse weather and complex road conditions, emergency handling methods for situations such as tire blowouts, and knowledge of post-traffic accident procedures.

As a young person who just passed the subject four test, I must say that there is indeed a fee involved. I paid around 120 yuan, which was included in the total driving school fee and not calculated separately. On the exam day, you need to verify your identity by swiping your ID card at the vehicle management office and bring the payment receipt to enter the exam hall. The review process was quite easy—just go through the mock questions on your phone a few times. The test covers traffic rules and accident handling, which are very practical and related to driving safety in the future. However, if you fail, you'll have to pay a retake fee, so don’t take it lightly. Make sure to review the question bank thoroughly before the exam to pass it on the first try and save yourself some hassle. Overall, this money is well spent as it ensures safety for both yourself and others.

I've coached many students through their driving tests, and the subject four exam definitely requires a fee, typically ranging from 50 to 150 yuan depending on regional regulations. This fee is usually collected by the driving school or paid on-site at the vehicle management office. Make sure to clarify the total cost structure during enrollment to avoid being charged extra. The exam content is simple yet crucial, focusing mainly on safe driving knowledge. Pay attention during classes and practice with mock tests a few times, and you'll pass easily. Don't wait until the exam day to realize you haven't paid the fee, as it could delay your scheduling. Passing subject four is the final step to getting your driver's license, and the process moves quickly once the fee is paid, so it's best to prepare early to avoid delays. The fee isn't much, but it serves as a small reminder for learner drivers that safety knowledge shouldn't be taken lightly.

I remember having to pay for the Subject 4 test back then, around a little over 100 yuan. The current policy should be similar. The exam fee collected by the DMV is used for system maintenance—the amount isn't high but it's essential. Back then, payment had to be made in advance before the test; otherwise, you couldn't enter the exam hall. The content wasn't difficult, all multiple-choice questions. During revision, I focused on traffic rules and emergency handling, which helped me a lot with driving later. Passing Subject 4 means you can get your driver's license. After paying, keep the receipt properly to avoid any hassle later. The fee isn't much—passing quickly saves time, and practicing mock questions is key. Building a solid foundation in safe driving makes hitting the road with confidence possible.

What lights should you turn on when driving in a heavy rainstorm?

When driving in heavy rain, turn on the headlights or front fog lights. Precautions for driving in rainy weather are as follows: 1. Turn on the wipers promptly; 2. If there is frost on the windshield, turn on the air conditioning and direct the cold air toward the windshield; 3. The driver should hold the steering wheel with both hands to maintain straight and low-speed driving, and brake gently to prevent the tires from locking up and causing the vehicle to skid; 4. Reduce the vehicle's speed, pay attention to the distance between the front and rear vehicles, and be mentally prepared to take emergency measures in advance. Car headlights, also known as car front lights or LED daytime running lights, should be maintained by: 1. Regularly checking the sealing of the headlights—if the sealing ring between the lens and reflector is damaged, replace it promptly; 2. Regularly cleaning the reflector—if it turns black and the brightness decreases, replace it; 3. Regularly removing dust and stains from the bulbs.

What Causes Rough Gear Shifting in Automatic Transmissions?

Rough gear shifting in automatic transmissions may be caused by: transmission clutch pressure leakage; obstructed or sluggish transmission oil passages; insufficient or excessive transmission fluid levels; or damaged solenoid valves. The engine's power is transmitted through the transmission, which is also a key factor affecting fuel consumption. Generally, automatic transmissions consume over 10% more fuel than manual transmissions. Whether manual or automatic, transmissions with more gears tend to be more fuel-efficient. Below is relevant information: 1. Damaged solenoid valves: If sludge circulates within the transmission fluid and blocks the oil passages in the valve body, it can cause rough shifting. Over time, this can lead to a series of transmission issues such as overheating, impact, and slipping. 2. Incorrect transmission fluid levels: Verify whether the transmission fluid is at the standard level. Both insufficient and excessive transmission fluid can cause this issue. For vehicles equipped with a transmission dipstick, check whether the fluid level is within the standard range when the engine is running.

Symptoms of a Faulty Thermostat in Jetta?

Jetta thermostat failure symptoms are as follows: 1. Thermostat malfunction with insufficient opening affects the engine's large and small circulation cycles, preventing effective heat dissipation and causing engine coolant temperature to rise; 2. Excessive thermostat opening leads to low engine coolant temperature, slow temperature rise, increased fuel consumption, and abnormal engine noises; 3. Thermostat sticking tends to cause carbon buildup, resulting in unstable engine idle speed and engine vibration. Below is how the thermostat works: 1. The thermostat is a valve controlling coolant flow path. It's an automatic temperature-regulating device typically containing temperature-sensing components that open/close air, gas or liquid flow through thermal expansion/contraction. 2. At normal temperature, the wax remains solid. When water temperature is below 76°C, the main valve closes completely while the bypass valve opens fully, allowing water from the cylinder head to directly enter the water pump via the bypass pipe (called small circulation). As water only flows between pump and water jacket without passing through the radiator and with small flow rate, the cooling intensity is weak.

What Causes the Noise When Shifting Gears in an Automatic Transmission?

The reasons for noise when shifting gears in an automatic transmission are as follows: 1. Large valve clearance when the engine is cold: Poor lubrication can cause noise during gear shifting between cold and warm engine states, lasting about 3 minutes, but this is a normal phenomenon. 2. Issues caused by parking on a slope: If you engage the P (Park) gear before applying the handbrake when parking on a slope, the vehicle's weight will be entirely on the P gear due to inertia, leading to noise when shifting gears. However, if you apply the handbrake first, the handbrake will bear the weight, and no noise will occur. 3. Transmission problems: Wear and tear in the transmission, such as a loose driveshaft, worn differential, worn output shaft inside the transmission, worn transmission gears, or faulty shifting mechanism, require immediate attention. It is essential to visit a 4S shop or a professional auto repair shop for technician repairs.

What are the vehicle warning lights?

There are ten main warning lights: 1. Oil pressure warning light: When illuminated, it indicates the engine oil level or pressure is below standard. Continued driving may cause severe engine wear due to lack of lubrication. 2. Coolant temperature warning light: Displays the temperature of the engine coolant. 3. Engine malfunction light: Shows the engine's operational status, typically in yellow. It lights up during ignition self-check and should turn off after starting. Persistent illumination indicates potential engine system issues. 4. Brake system warning light: If illuminated, first ensure the parking brake is fully released. If it remains lit, check brake fluid level or pad thickness. 5. Power steering warning light: Indicates malfunction in the power steering system. 6. Door/hood open warning light: Warns if doors or hood aren't properly closed. 7. Tire pressure monitoring light: Signals low tire pressure or possible tire damage. 8. Battery warning light: Usually yellow, it should turn off after self-check. 9. ABS warning light: Primarily yellow, failure to light during self-check or persistent illumination indicates potential ABS system faults. 10. Electronic stability control light: Normally indicates system deactivation when lit, and activation when off.

Should the Foot Always Be on the Brake in an Automatic Transmission?

In an automatic transmission, the foot should not always be on the brake. It is best for the driver to keep the foot in the middle behind the brake and accelerator pedals. Below are specific details about the driver's foot placement: 1. Right Foot: The right foot should always be placed in the middle behind the brake and accelerator pedals. This makes it easier to step on the brake in case of an emergency and also facilitates acceleration. Tilting to the right is the accelerator pedal, while stepping straight down is the brake pedal. 2. Precautions: Do not use the left foot for braking and the right foot for acceleration, as this may lead to simultaneous pressing, wasting fuel and making operation difficult. 3. Correct Movement: The standard way to press the accelerator and brake is to pivot the heel of the right foot and rotate left or right to press, keeping the heel on the ground.
