Car body repair should be done at a 4S shop for the following reasons: 1. A 4S shop only services cars of one brand and has all the vehicle's data, so they have a better understanding of the car. In terms of service, material selection, technology, and craftsmanship, they are relatively more professional. 2. For new car body repair, in terms of service, the 4S shop must conduct multiple quality checks before delivering the car; in material selection, the paint color code can be read through the vehicle identification number, reducing color differences after repair; in technology and craftsmanship, employees undergo professional training, ensuring meticulous paintwork. 3. Generally, the larger the repair area, the higher the depreciation rate. Body repair essentially involves cutting and stretching the deformed parts, then applying putty and paint to restore the deformed area as much as possible. Although there may be no visual difference after the repair, deformation may recur over time. A 4S shop can do a better job.

Which tire does not turn when the car makes a right turn?

When a car turns right, all four wheels turn. The right wheels have a smaller turning radius and slower speed compared to the left wheels. Only the spare tire on the car does not turn. The spare tire is a backup tire on the car, which can be used to replace a flat or damaged tire to ensure the safe operation of the vehicle. Spare tires can be categorized into full-size spare tires and non-full-size spare tires. As the name suggests, full-size spare tires are identical to the vehicle's original tires, while non-full-size spare tires are smaller and narrower than the original tires. Due to lower manufacturing costs, non-full-size spare tires are generally only equipped on lower-priced vehicles. It is important to note that non-full-size spare tires are only for temporary use and should not be driven for extended distances. Precautions for using spare tires: Regularly check the air pressure of the spare tire; avoid placing the spare tire near corrosive substances like oil; non-full-size spare tires should be installed on non-driving wheels and should not be used for long distances.

Can I Get My Driver's License on the Same Day After Passing Subject 4?

After passing Subject 4, you can receive your driver's license on-site, usually within about 2 hours. Subject 4, also known as the Subject 4 theoretical exam or driver's theoretical exam, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. The main content includes: safe and civilized driving operation requirements, safe driving knowledge under adverse weather and complex road conditions, emergency handling methods for situations like tire blowouts, and knowledge on handling traffic accidents. The Subject 4 exam consists of 50 questions, presented in the form of case studies, pictures, animations, etc. The total score is 100, with a passing score of 90. After the implementation of the Ministry of Public Security's Order No. 123, the Subject 3 exam was divided into two parts: the road test and the addition of a safety and common sense exam, commonly referred to as "Subject 4," which assesses "driving ethics." Because this exam is conducted after Subject 3, it is commonly called the Subject 4 exam. Officially, there is no such term as Subject 4. Before the exam, students can study traffic regulations through driver's license simulation exam software on mobile devices or computers.

What Are the Corresponding Speeds for Manual Transmission Gears?

1st gear is used for starting; 2nd gear corresponds to a speed of 5-20 km/h; 3rd gear corresponds to 20-40 km/h; 4th gear corresponds to 40-60 km/h; 5th gear corresponds to 60-100 km/h, or the maximum speed. Below are the relevant details: 1. Corresponding relationship: The greater the car's power, the higher the maximum speed for each gear. Additionally, the speeds listed above correspond to keeping the tachometer at around 2000 RPM. The higher the RPM, the greater the corresponding maximum speed. Furthermore, the greater the power, the higher the maximum achievable RPM, and consequently, the higher the maximum speed for each gear. 2. Manual transmission models: These are cars that use a manual shift mechanical transmission (also known as manual transmission, MT) to regulate speed. This means that the driver must manually shift the gear lever to change the gear engagement positions inside the transmission, altering the gear ratio to achieve speed changes.
