There is no additional fee for the Subject 1 exam as the cost is already included in the registration fee. However, a retake fee applies if you need to retake the exam. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," candidates are allowed two attempts on the exam day for drunk driving-related Subject 1 tests. The first failure grants a free second attempt. If the second attempt also fails, the Subject 1 exam is terminated, and the candidate must wait ten days before reapplying. Subject 1, also known as the theoretical driving test or driver's theory exam, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. The exam covers driving theory basics, road safety laws and regulations, local statutes, and related knowledge. The Subject 1 test consists of 100 questions, divided into single-choice and true/false questions, each worth 1 point, totaling 100 points. If a candidate answers 11 questions incorrectly during the exam, the system will automatically submit the test and end the session. The Subject 1 exam is computer-based and has a time limit of 45 minutes. Subject 1 exam content: Driver's license and motor vehicle management regulations; road traffic conditions and regulations; road traffic safety violations and penalties; road traffic accident handling regulations; basic knowledge of motor vehicles; local regulations; knowledge of braking systems and safety devices for large and medium-sized passenger and freight vehicles; specialized knowledge for wheeled self-propelled machinery, trams, and trolleybuses. Subject 1 exam notes: Candidates should dress appropriately for the exam—no slippers are allowed. Electronic devices and bags are prohibited in the exam room. Bring your ID card and queue to enter the waiting hall. Observe the instructions and procedures on the large screen, and store personal belongings in lockers before entering the exam room. Upon entering, the identity verification station will assign a seat. Once seated, begin the exam. Ensure the camera is aligned with you and adhere to exam discipline. If you fail the first attempt, a same-day retake is available. Failing the retake requires payment to reschedule. After completion, queue to collect your score report and sign it. Unsigned reports are considered invalid. There is no limit to the number of times you can schedule the Subject 1 exam. Each subject allows one exam attempt, with one retake if you fail. If you skip the retake or fail it, the exam session ends, and you must reschedule. In contrast, Subject 2 and Subject 3 allow only five exam attempts each, with a mandatory ten-day wait before rescheduling. If you fail the Subject 3 safe driving knowledge test, your previously passed road driving skills test results remain valid. The driving test consists of three subjects: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3. Subject 1 refers to the road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge exam. Subject 2 refers to the field driving skills test. Subject 3 is divided into two parts: road driving skills and safe driving knowledge. The safe driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject 3, commonly referred to as Subject 4, though this term is not officially recognized in the regulations (i.e., the Ministry of Public Security's Order No. 123).

Why doesn't Hong Kong switch to right-hand traffic?

Hong Kong's urban roads are narrow, with many being one-way lanes. If the traffic direction were to be changed, a large amount of infrastructure would need to be modified, which would indeed be quite challenging. Here is relevant information about Hong Kong's left-hand traffic: 1. Historical reasons: Since Hong Kong was a British colony from 1842 to 1997, and vehicles in Britain also drive on the left, Hong Kong adopted left-hand traffic rules. 2. Traffic rules: After Hong Kong's return in 1997, the mainland and Hong Kong adopted a "one country, two systems" approach to road traffic issues. Mainland vehicles entering Hong Kong must follow Hong Kong's left-hand traffic rules. Conversely, Hong Kong vehicles entering the mainland must also follow local customs.

What causes the car's anti-skid light to frequently illuminate?

When the anti-skid light illuminates, it indicates that the ESP is turned off or malfunctioning. The reasons affecting the activation of the anti-skid system light include the following aspects: 1. Accidentally pressing the ESP off button; 2. Loose or faulty sensor connectors; 3. Short circuit in the wiring; 4. Software issues causing poor signal transmission; 5. ABS pump failure. If the ESP off button was accidentally pressed, simply turning it back on will eliminate the anti-skid light; 6. If the anti-skid light is caused by sensor failure, short circuit in the wiring, blown fuse, poor signal transmission, ABS pump failure, etc., the only solution is to visit a 4S shop for inspection and repair.

What Causes the Car Body to Shake After Starting?

Here are the reasons why the car body shakes after starting: 1. Unstable oil pressure—abnormal fuel pump supply pressure or incorrect readings from the intake pressure sensor can cause the car body to shake. Solution: Check the oil pressure and replace components if necessary; 2. Aging engine components—if the engine mounts are faulty, vibrations can be transmitted to the steering wheel and cabin, causing shaking at idle. Solution: Replace the components; 3. A common cause is a dirty throttle body or excessive carbon buildup in the fuel injectors. When there is too much carbon buildup inside the engine, the gasoline sprayed by the cold-start injector can be largely absorbed by the carbon deposits, resulting in an overly lean air-fuel mixture during cold starts and difficulty starting. Solution: Clean the fuel system and remove carbon deposits from the idle control valve.

How to Use BMW's Internal and External Air Circulation?

BMW's internal and external air circulation usage is as follows: 1: Internal Circulation: Refers to the air blown by the blower circulating only inside the vehicle, somewhat similar to blowing an electric fan with the door closed. Since no external air is involved, internal circulation has the advantages of fuel efficiency and rapid cooling. However, for this very reason, the air inside the vehicle does not get refreshed. 2: External Circulation: The most notable feature of the car's external air circulation is its ability to maintain the freshness of the air inside the vehicle. This is because external circulation draws air from outside the vehicle and blows it inside. Due to this characteristic, the cooling effect of external circulation is not as pronounced.

Is a 4.6-meter car considered big or small?

It is considered small. Cars under 4.6 meters are classified as compact. Most small cars generally have lengths ranging between 3800mm and 4300mm. Below is relevant information: 1. Length: Length is the parameter that most significantly affects a car's purpose, functionality, and ease of use. Therefore, vehicle classes are typically categorized by length. A longer body means more longitudinal usable space, which is obvious; however, an excessively long body can make turning and parking inconvenient. 2. Size classification: There is a notable difference in driving feel between a 4-meter-long car and a 5-meter-long car. Generally, small to medium-sized passenger cars are around 4 meters long, while those approaching 5 meters can be considered large cars.
