No fee is required for the first booking. All examination fees are paid in one lump sum at the time of registration. After a successful booking, you only need to wait for the specific examination time. However, students retaking Subject 1 will need to pay a fee after successfully booking. Payment steps: Open the [Traffic Management 12123] mobile APP and enter the homepage; click [More] to enter the business center; click [Examination Fee Payment] to enter the [Examination Fee Payment] page; the [Unpaid] column will display unpaid examination fees. Check the unpaid examination fees and click Pay to complete the payment. Subject 1, also known as the Subject 1 theory test or driver theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. Content of the Subject 1 examination: The examination includes the most basic knowledge such as driving theory fundamentals, road safety laws and regulations, traffic signals, traffic rules, plus local regulations. The scheduling of the driver theory test is arranged by the local vehicle management offices.

Last year when I booked my Subject 1 test online, I found the entire reservation process was completely free. Just by logging into the designated app or website, filling in personal information and selecting a date, you could directly choose a time slot without any prompts for payment. However, the key point is that payment is mandatory during the actual exam, with fees ranging approximately from 50 to 80 yuan, varying by region. At the test center, staff will ask you to scan a QR code or pay in cash on-site. It's advisable to check the specific regulations of your local DMV in advance, as some regions have integrated online payment functions for exam fees, though the reservation itself remains cost-free. The whole process is quite straightforward, with no need to worry about additional expenses—just focus on reviewing the questions during preparation. Actual driving lesson fees only commence after passing the exam successfully.

Can Audi A6L Use 92 Octane Gasoline?

According to the official vehicle manual recommendation, Audi A6L should use 95 octane gasoline. In addition to checking the appropriate gasoline grade in the vehicle manual, you can also find it marked on the fuel tank cap of the Audi A6L. Generally, the gasoline grade can also be determined based on the engine's compression ratio. Vehicles with an engine compression ratio between 8.6-9.9 should use 92 octane gasoline, while those with a compression ratio between 10.0-11.5 should use 95 octane gasoline. However, with the application of some new technologies nowadays, the gasoline grade cannot be solely determined by the compression ratio. High compression ratio engines can also be tuned to use lower octane gasoline because, apart from the compression ratio, other factors such as ignition timing, turbocharging technology, and Atkinson cycle technology also play a role. Generally, the higher the gasoline octane number, the higher the octane value and the better the anti-knock performance. 92 octane gasoline contains 92% isooctane and 8% n-heptane, while 95 octane gasoline contains 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane. If the Audi A6L occasionally uses the wrong gasoline grade, simply switch back to the correct grade after consumption. However, long-term use of the wrong gasoline grade can have the following effects: For vehicles recommended to use lower octane gasoline, using higher octane gasoline will not cause damage, but the increase in octane value will alter the fuel's ignition point, leading to delayed combustion in the engine. This means both the engine's power output and thermal efficiency will decrease, resulting in poorer performance in actual driving experience. For vehicles recommended to use higher octane gasoline, using lower octane gasoline can cause engine knocking. Due to the significantly lower octane value, the gasoline's ignition point decreases, causing premature ignition during the compression stroke. If combustion occurs before the spark plug ignites during the compression stroke, resistance will arise during the upward stroke. This resistance makes the engine run very unstably. If it's mild knocking, it only increases noise without obvious engine damage. However, if there's noticeable knocking, it indicates severe engine conditions, affecting not only driving stability but also causing abnormal wear on pistons and cylinders, and in severe cases, cylinder scoring.

How many points are deducted for crossing the line when changing lanes on the highway?

Crossing the solid line when changing lanes on the highway will result in a 3-point deduction and a fine of 200 yuan. On highways, vehicles are prohibited from reversing, driving against the flow, crossing the central divider, or stopping within the lane, as these actions violate prohibitory signs and markings. Below are the relevant traffic regulations: According to the "Scoring Standards for Road Traffic Safety Violations," Article 3 states that drivers committing any of the following violations will be penalized with 3 points: 1. Driving a passenger vehicle (excluding buses and school buses) with passengers exceeding the approved capacity by less than 20%; 2. Driving medium-sized or larger passenger or cargo vehicles, or hazardous material transport vehicles on roads other than highways or urban expressways, or driving other vehicles at speeds exceeding the limit by less than 20%; 3. Driving a cargo vehicle with a load exceeding the approved weight by less than 30%; 4. Driving a vehicle on the highway below the minimum speed limit; 5. Driving a vehicle prohibited from entering the highway onto the highway; 6. Driving a vehicle on the highway or urban expressway without using the designated lane; 7. Driving a vehicle that fails to slow down, stop, or yield to pedestrians at a crosswalk as required; 8. Driving a vehicle in violation of prohibitory signs or markings.

Reasons for Abnormal Noise During Slow Braking?

There are several reasons for abnormal noise during slow braking: 1. There is sand or other foreign objects between the brake pads and brake discs; 2. If the noise is muffled, it may be due to issues with the brake caliper, such as wear on the sliding pins or detachment of the spring clips. 3. Braking after driving through water can also cause abnormal noise. 4. Excessive wear of the brake pads may expose the fixed points of the friction material, leading to noise when rubbing against the brake disc or brake drum. Below are some related solutions: 1. When a hissing sound occurs during braking, it is recommended to first check if there are any issues with the friction between the caliper, brake disc, and brake pads. 2. When a sharp noise occurs during braking, aside from the break-in period of new pads, the first step should be to check the brake pads for wear or foreign objects. If the brake pads are worn out, they should be replaced immediately. If foreign objects are found, the brake pads should be removed, the objects taken out, and then reinstalled. 3. When a muffled noise occurs during braking, check the brake caliper for wear on the sliding pins or detachment of the spring clips. If any issues are found, they should be replaced immediately. 4. When a rattling noise occurs during braking, check if any attachments on the brake pads are loose. The best solution is to reinforce them or replace the brake pads with new ones.

How to Test an Automotive Ignition Coil?

There are three methods to test an automotive ignition coil: 1. Visual Inspection: Examine the ignition coil visually. If the insulation cover is cracked or the outer casing is damaged, it may absorb moisture and lose its ignition capability, requiring replacement. 2. Primary and Secondary Winding Open Circuit, Short Circuit, and Grounding Tests: (1) Resistance Measurement Method. Use a multimeter to measure the resistance of the primary winding, secondary winding, and additional resistor of the ignition coil. The values should meet technical standards; otherwise, it indicates a fault and requires replacement. (2) Test Lamp Method. Connect a test lamp to the two terminals of the primary winding. If the lamp does not light, it indicates an open circuit. To check for grounding faults, connect one end of the test lamp to the primary winding and the other end to the casing. If the lamp lights, it indicates a grounding fault. Short circuit faults are not easily detected with a test lamp. 3. Spark Intensity Test: To check the high voltage generated by the ignition coil, it can be tested on a test bench in conjunction with a distributor. Adjust the discharge electrode gap to 7mm, start at low speed, and once the ignition coil reaches operating temperature (60~70°C), adjust the distributor speed to the specified value (generally 1900r/min for four- and six-cylinder engine ignition coils, and 2500r/min for eight-cylinder engine ignition coils). If it can continuously produce blue sparks within 0.5 minutes, the ignition coil is in good condition.

What does the bulb exclamation mark on the car dashboard indicate?

Yellow bulb with an exclamation mark is the light fault indicator, indicating that there is a fault with the car lights. Solution: Go to a 4S shop for inspection and treatment as soon as possible. You can also check it yourself, focusing on commonly used bulbs such as turn signals, fog lights, and interior lighting to see where the problem is. The exclamation mark is a common fault prompt in cars. In addition to the yellow bulb with an exclamation mark, there are four other forms of exclamation marks: an exclamation mark inside a triangle, an exclamation mark inside a yellow gear, an exclamation mark in the middle of a bracket and circle, and an exclamation mark in the middle of a bracket with a line below. The following is a detailed analysis: General fault: An exclamation mark inside a triangle. If this symbol lights up, it means that the car's general performance or components and functions have failed. Mainly includes parking sensor failure, fuel cut-off system intervention or failure, external light failure, engine oil pressure sensor failure, etc. You need to go to a 4S shop for inspection to find out the source of the fault. Automatic transmission fault: An exclamation mark inside a yellow gear. This is the automatic transmission fault warning light, indicating that there is a fault with the transmission or the transmission lubricating oil is below the normal range. The transmission oil needs to be replaced in time. Brake system fault: An exclamation mark in the middle of a bracket and circle. This represents a warning of the brake system, mainly including brake system failure and low brake fluid level. The brake system needs to be repaired immediately to avoid accidents. Tire pressure abnormality: An exclamation mark in the middle of a bracket with a line below. This represents the tire pressure monitoring warning light.
