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.

I just finished the theoretical course and booked the Subject 1 test online last week. The booking process didn't cost anything – just entered my ID card number and phone number, which was quite convenient. However, on the exam day, I had to pay the exam fee of 60 yuan via WeChat as soon as I entered the test center. So to summarize: booking is free, but the exam requires payment. It's best to check whether the test center requires prepayment after booking, as some major cities allow full online payment. Also, the booking platform can get busy sometimes – I logged in early in the morning and secured my spot instantly, saving a lot of hassle.

Online booking for Subject 1 (written test) does not require payment, as the platform service is free. However, exam fees must be paid when taking the test, which is mandatory. The standard fee generally ranges between 50 to 100 RMB, depending on the test center. After booking, simply bring your ID card to the exam location—no booking fee is needed. The process is efficient, and it's advisable to confirm local details in advance.

I've researched the driver's license exam process. Booking the theory test (Subject 1) online is completely free with no hidden charges. However, the actual exam fee needs to be paid upon entry, usually costing a few dozen yuan. Policies vary across cities - for example, in Beijing you can pay the exam fee directly through the app. Money-saving tip: choose less crowded time slots when booking, and don't forget your payment method on exam day. Overall, free booking saves effort while the actual payment covers exam costs.

What does it mean when the ABS yellow light on the dashboard is on?

When the ABS light is displayed on the car, it indicates a malfunction in the vehicle's anti-lock braking system. During emergency braking, if the wheels lock up, the vehicle may lose control and skid, making it difficult for the driver to slow down or adjust the vehicle's trajectory, which poses a significant safety hazard. There are several states in which the ABS light may illuminate, with different causes and solutions for each state, as detailed below: State 1: ABS warning light stays on (most common). Cause 1: The ABS speed sensor's sensing part is covered by dirt, mud, or other contaminants, affecting the sensor's ability to detect the corresponding speed signal. This prevents the ABS computer from determining the vehicle's speed or the wheel's slip rate, thus failing to issue appropriate commands to adjust braking. Solution: Clean the dirt from the speed sensor and adjust the gap between the speed sensor and the signal ring to restore normal function. Cause 2: Poor signal due to loose connections in the system wiring or poor contact in the ABS relay, leading to system failure. Solution: Check the wiring connections and reconnect any loose parts. State 2: ABS warning light intermittently illuminates but turns off when accelerating. Cause: When multiple vehicle electrical devices are in use, the battery voltage drops below 10.5V. As the engine speed increases and the voltage rises, the ABS light turns off. The ABS system's power supply voltage is too low, possibly due to poor terminal contact or grounding issues. Solution: Check the battery's specific gravity, inspect the charging system, and verify the power supply (e.g., voltage relay or poor power contact). State 3: ABS warning light stays on after engine start and only turns off when the engine is turned off (IGFF). Cause: Poor grounding contact in the ABS hydraulic valve body; loose wiring connections in the ABS hydraulic valve body; ABS computer malfunction. Solution: Loosen and then retighten the grounding screw of the hydraulic valve body, cleaning the contact surface if necessary. Check if the connector gap has widened; replace the ABS or ABS/ASR computer if needed. State 4: ABS warning light illuminates during high-speed driving. Cause: During high-speed driving, the ABS computer detects a significant discrepancy between the rear and front wheel speed signals. Incorrect tire or wheel rim specifications may also be the cause. Solution: Refer to the vehicle's tire and wheel rim specifications, as indicated on the label near the fuel tank cap. State 5: ABS warning light intermittently illuminates. Cause: Improper adjustment of the brake light switch; poor internal contact in the brake light. Solution: Start the engine, press the brake pedal, and push the brake switch linkage down with a finger to its limit. Then release the brake pedal to complete the self-setting position. Replace the brake light switch if necessary.

How to Remove Adhesive After Peeling Off Car Window Film?

Methods for removing adhesive after peeling off car window film: You can use essential balm, makeup remover, cleaning agents, etc., to eliminate residual adhesive. When peeling off the window film, you can first use a hair dryer to blow on the film. The film will deform due to heat, reducing its adhesion, making it easier to peel off slowly. You can also spray some adhesive remover between the glass and the film. After peeling it off, simply wipe with a towel. Window film is a PET functional film applied to the glass surface, serving purposes such as heat insulation, thermal insulation, UV blocking, anti-glare, decoration, privacy protection, and safety explosion-proofing. In summer, window film can block 45% to 85% of direct solar heat from entering the interior, while in winter, it can reduce heat loss by more than 30%.

What are the symptoms of a bad clutch plate?

Symptoms of a bad clutch plate: 1. The clutch engagement point becomes higher. When starting the vehicle, you need to release the clutch pedal higher than before (e.g., from originally 1 cm to now 2 cm) before the vehicle moves; 2. Noticeable decrease in vehicle power. With no engine abnormalities, the car feels sluggish during starts or climbing hills, and there's insufficient power despite high engine RPMs, indicating clutch slippage; 3.

Is the Transmission the Same as the Gearbox?

Transmission is indeed the same as the gearbox, also referred to as the gear case. Inside the transmission, gears of different sizes mesh together to increase or decrease rotational speed or torque, thereby enabling the vehicle to change gears. The meshing of gears resembles the interlocking of human teeth, hence the term "gearbox." Transmissions are categorized into manual and automatic transmissions. Manual transmissions include 5-speed manual and 6-speed manual, while automatic transmissions comprise 6-speed automatic, 7-speed dual-clutch, 8-speed semi-automatic, and CVT (continuously variable transmission). The transmission consists of a gear shifting mechanism and a control mechanism, with some vehicles also featuring a power take-off unit. Transmissions can be further classified into stepped, stepless, and integrated types, serving functions such as enabling reverse driving, interrupting power transmission, and altering gear ratios.
