Currently, a retraining fee is generally charged for failing the exam. Below is an introduction to the learning content for Subject 1: Basic knowledge of motor vehicles: common vehicle structures, main safety devices, driving control mechanisms, vehicle performance, vehicle inspection and maintenance, vehicle operating materials, braking systems and doors of buses, braking systems and doors of public buses, braking systems of articulated vehicles, connection and separation devices. Laws, regulations, and road traffic signals: application and use of motor vehicle driving licenses, road traffic rules, driving behavior, penalties for illegal activities, motor vehicle registration, traffic accident handling. Comprehensive review and assessment: road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge.

As a driving instructor who has trained thousands of students, the retraining fee depends on the situation. Our driving school charges 80 yuan per hour for practice sessions after failing the second or third subject test, as it occupies training grounds and instructor resources. However, some conscientious driving schools offer pass-guaranteed packages that include two free retraining sessions with the initial payment. I strongly advise checking the contract carefully upon enrollment—whether there's a retraining fee and how much should be clearly stated in writing. If an instructor suddenly raises prices, keeping payment records and complaining to the driving school will definitely help. Honestly, spending a few hundred yuan more on retraining isn’t a loss—mastering solid driving skills to avoid accidents on the road is where the real savings lie.

As someone who has taken the driving test, I failed the third subject once and indeed paid a retraining fee. Our driving school charges 150 yuan for three hours of practice, which is slightly more expensive than regular training sessions. However, my cousin learning to drive in a neighboring city didn’t have to pay this fee—I heard their driving school’s enrollment fee was 500 yuan more expensive, but it covered all retraining costs. The key is to check what the initial contract states, as some driving schools play word games that can be particularly unfair. It’s advisable not to choose driving schools with suspiciously low prices from the start—you get what you pay for. If you’re really worried about costs, try to cram in extra practice sessions a couple of days before the test and memorize the routes and details thoroughly.

The fee for retraining after failing the test varies by region. Having worked in the driver training industry for ten years, I've seen all kinds of pricing models. Coastal cities typically charge 100-200 yuan per session, while smaller cities may offer all-day training for 50 yuan. This fee mainly covers vehicle wear and tear and instructor hours. Reputable driving schools always display their fee schedules publicly, so remember to check the detailed price list in the lobby. If you encounter any additional charges, you can directly report it to the Transportation Bureau's operation management office, as they have enforcement authority. I recommend choosing a driving school with hourly billing, where make-up training sessions directly deduct from your lesson hours, ensuring transparent pricing and avoiding overcharging.

Does Automatic Braking Still Work When the Accelerator is Pressed?

Automatic braking will still function when the accelerator is pressed, but it should only be used as an auxiliary system. While it can effectively help prevent accidents, over-reliance on it should be avoided. Introduction to Automatic Braking: The AEB (Autonomous Emergency Braking) system is an emergency braking system that uses radar to detect the distance to the vehicle ahead. The ECU analyzes this data and issues alerts based on varying distances and speeds. If the driver does not respond to these alerts, the AEB system will activate when the safety distance falls below a certain threshold, automatically engaging the vehicle's braking system to reduce the likelihood of a collision with the vehicle or pedestrian ahead. It's important to note that the specific features mentioned above may vary depending on the vehicle model, as not all cars have identical settings. How the Automatic Braking System Works: When the vehicle's speed reaches 30km/h, the system automatically activates. It monitors traffic conditions, particularly within a 6-meter range in front of the vehicle, through an optical radar system mounted on the windshield. If the vehicle ahead brakes, stops, or encounters an obstacle, the system first applies additional force to the braking system to help the driver reduce the braking distance before taking action. Alternatively, it may adjust the steering wheel to alter the vehicle's path and avoid the obstacle. Of course, if the vehicle is already very close to the obstacle, the system will automatically apply emergency braking without requiring any driver input.

Should a regular car use 92 or 95 octane gasoline?

The selection of fuel grade should be determined by the compression ratio of the car engine. The appropriate fuel grade for the vehicle will be indicated on the inside of the fuel tank cap. If it specifies 92 octane fuel, use 92 octane; if it specifies 95 octane fuel, then use 95 octane. The following are the differences between 95 and 92 octane: Different octane number proportions: 92 octane gasoline consists of 92% isooctane and 8% n-heptane; 95 octane gasoline consists of 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane. Different applicable compression ratios: 92 octane gasoline is suitable for engines with a compression ratio between 8.6 and 9.9; 95 octane gasoline is suitable for engines with a compression ratio between 10.0 and 11.5. Different anti-knock properties: 95 octane gasoline has higher anti-knock properties; 92 octane gasoline has lower anti-knock properties.

How Long After Getting a Driver's License Can It Be Registered on 12123?

After obtaining a driver's license, you need to wait three to seven days before you can check its registration on the 12123 traffic management platform, as it takes some time to update online, though not too long. Reasons why the driver's license cannot be found on 12123: The data from the traffic police department's system has not been updated to the 12123 software system yet. You need to wait until the system data synchronization is complete before you can view it; During registration, if the correct issuance address of the driver's license was not selected, some data may not display or may be delayed; If the driver's license has expired, it needs to be replaced with a new one. Precautions for new drivers: Ensure all necessary documents are ready before driving, check the car's condition in advance, and carefully inspect for any issues, such as obscured license plates; Do not drive after drinking, taking medication, when fatigued, without a license, or in extremely poor visibility; Always follow traffic instructions while driving, including traffic lights and road markings, and be courteous to other drivers; Pay attention to driving speed—avoid driving too slowly, as it can obstruct traffic, or too fast, especially in poor weather conditions with low visibility, which increases the risk of accidents.
