It is best to keep the brake pedal pressed continuously. If you can ensure that the test vehicle does not roll while in the garage, you may not need to press the brake. When shifting gears, the vehicle is required to be in a stationary state; if rolling occurs, it may result in a failed assessment. Below are detailed explanations of the automatic transmission gear positions: 1. R (Reverse) Gear: Engaging this gear connects the hydraulic system to the reverse oil circuit, causing the drive wheels to rotate in reverse for backward movement. 2. N (Neutral) Gear: When in neutral, the planetary gear system idles and cannot output power. 3. D (Drive) Gear: When the gear selector is in this position, the hydraulic control system automatically connects the corresponding forward gear oil circuit based on throttle opening and vehicle speed signals. It can automatically shift up or down according to driving speed changes, achieving automatic transmission functionality.

What Tonnage Rear Axle Does 4.875 Represent?

4.875 represents a rear axle for vehicles under 10 tons. 6AT Transmission: Except when shifting from P to D at startup or from D to P when parking, the D gear can be used throughout the entire drive. The Sport mode can be used during acceleration, but on flat roads, the speed increase in Sport mode is not as fast as in D mode. The S gear offers excellent acceleration performance and is typically used for overtaking once the vehicle has reached a certain speed. When the vehicle is in motion, shifting the D gear to the left switches to M (Manual) mode, allowing gear changes by pushing the gear lever forward or backward. Categories: Automotive transmissions can be divided into manual transmissions and automatic transmissions. AT refers to the commonly known automatic transmission. Generally, automatic transmissions have gears such as P, R, N, D, 2, 1, or L. A 6AT indicates six forward gears, meaning there are six sets of gear groups with different transmission ratios. Others include 4AT, 8AT, 9AT, and even 10AT. Although the numbers vary, they are all derivatives of automatic transmission technology.

Can AT Tires Be Used for Long-Distance High-Speed Driving?

AT tires can be used for long-distance high-speed driving. AT tires refer to all-terrain tires, which are professional off-road tires. AT tires have rougher treads, larger gaps between tread lines, and stronger sidewalls. Therefore, AT tires perform much better than HT tires on unpaved roads. The tread pattern on the tire crown is one of the main distinguishing factors for tire types. AT tires primarily feature block-shaped horizontal tread patterns, and their longitudinal patterns are not as regular as those of HT standard highway tires. This design enhances traction on unpaved surfaces. In simpler terms, the gaps between the block-shaped protrusions help compress uneven surfaces like soil, sand, or snow. AT tires are versatile tires designed for outdoor use. The longitudinal lines of AT tires consist of densely packed but moderately spaced block-shaped protrusions, while the longitudinal grooves remain consistent or coherent. The dense horizontal protrusions help anchor the compressed protrusions to the ground, aiding in overcoming difficult terrain. When driving on wet roads, water on the surface is captured by the horizontal grooves and expelled from the wheel by the centrifugal force generated by the wheel's rotation through the longitudinal grooves. AT tires can handle both off-road and high-speed driving, but they are prone to slipping on wet surfaces. After modification, it is important to control the driving speed.

Can I Renew My C1 Driver's License with Traffic Violation Records?

If you drive a vehicle with a C1 driver's license and the vehicle has unprocessed traffic violations, you cannot proceed with the renewal of the C1 driver's license upon its expiration. According to Article 71 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses": those with unresolved traffic violations or accidents, those who do not meet the physical conditions for driving, and those who fail to participate in required study, education, or exams as stipulated will not pass the review. You must pay all fines and deduct the corresponding points from your driver's license before you can proceed with the renewal at the vehicle management office. If the owner is penalized on-site by traffic police, the violation must be processed within 15 days from the date of the violation; otherwise, a late fee will be charged. For the annual review and renewal of an expired driver's license, the old license must be surrendered to the vehicle management office. According to the Ministry of Public Security's Order No. 123, the renewal can be applied for up to 90 days in advance at the original issuing vehicle management office. Documents required for license renewal: Original and photocopy of ID card. Qualified medical examination form from a hospital designated by the vehicle management office. Three one-inch white-background color photos. Completed driver's license renewal application form and processing fee. Photos and medical examination reports for renewal can be prepared by yourself. If you are concerned about their validity, you can process them directly at the traffic police office to avoid delays. Important notes regarding expired license renewal: If your license is expired, traffic police may impose a fine but will not deduct points. There is also a latest deadline for renewal: if the license is expired for less than one year, you can renew it through the normal process; if expired for one to three years, the license will be revoked, but you can regain it by passing the Subject 1 exam; if expired for more than three years, the license will be permanently revoked. When applying, you must fill out the application form and submit the following documents: the driver's identity proof, the original driver's license, and a medical condition certificate issued by a county-level or higher medical institution or a military hospital at the regimental level or above. For applications involving small automatic passenger vehicles for the disabled, a medical condition certificate issued by a specialized medical institution designated by the provincial health authority is required.

Is it necessary to affix the compulsory traffic insurance label on the car window?

If electronic insurance policies have been implemented locally, there is no need to affix the compulsory traffic insurance label on the car; if electronic policies have not yet been implemented, the compulsory traffic insurance label must be affixed. According to Article 95 of the Road Traffic Safety Law: If a motor vehicle driven on the road does not display the inspection qualification label or insurance label, or does not carry the vehicle license or driver's license, the traffic management department of the public security organ shall detain the motor vehicle, notify the party to provide the corresponding license, label, or complete the relevant procedures, and may impose penalties in accordance with Article 90 of this Law (a warning or a fine of not less than 20 yuan but not more than 200 yuan). As of 2022, the provinces and cities that have abolished the paper label for compulsory traffic insurance include: Beijing, Shanghai, Shandong, Shanxi, Guangdong, Henan, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi, Guizhou, Guangxi, Yunnan, Shaanxi, Hebei, Sichuan, and Gansu. Compulsory Traffic Insurance for Automobiles: The full name of compulsory traffic insurance is "Compulsory Liability Insurance for Motor Vehicle Traffic Accidents." It is a mandatory liability insurance where the insurance company compensates for personal injuries, deaths, and property losses of victims (excluding vehicle occupants and the insured) caused by road traffic accidents involving the insured motor vehicle within the liability limits. The premium is based on the nationally unified standard rates. However, the price of compulsory traffic insurance varies for different vehicle types, mainly influenced by the number of car seats. Compared to the more than 20 exemption clauses in commercial third-party liability insurance, the exemption scope of compulsory traffic insurance covers losses caused by intentional acts of the victim, the insured's own property losses, related arbitration and litigation costs, and some indirect losses caused by accidents, with a much broader coverage. Moreover, regardless of whether the insured vehicle is at fault in the accident, compulsory traffic insurance will provide compensation within the liability limits. Introduction to Electronic Insurance Policies An electronic insurance policy refers to an electronic policy issued by an insurance company with an electronic signature, using digital signature software and enterprise digital certificates that comply with the PKI system. An insurance policy, abbreviated as a policy, is the formal written proof of an insurance contract between the insurer and the insured. The policy must fully record the rights, obligations, and responsibilities of both parties to the insurance contract. The content recorded in the policy serves as the basis for both parties to fulfill the contract. The policy is proof of the establishment of the insurance contract. Advantages of electronic insurance policies: Saves paper resources, eliminating the need to print insurance proof labels; Saves time and is convenient, not limited by time or location, with information universally accessible online anytime, quick and easy; Can apply for reissue or resending, no need to worry about losing it; if a paper version is needed offline, it can also be printed or mailed; Easy management, with electronic unification making it convenient for insurance companies and traffic police departments to manage the insurance information of various vehicles.

How many points are deducted for crossing the line in the S-curve of Subject 2?

Failing the "S-curve crossing the line" in the Subject 2 driving test results in immediate disqualification. Regulations: During the curve driving test, if the vehicle's wheels cross the road edge line, 100 points are deducted. According to Subject 2 deduction code 10114: If the vehicle rides or crosses the solid center line or edge line of the lane during movement, 100 points are deducted. Precautions for curve driving: Maintain first gear throughout the course and avoid steering too abruptly. After entering the curve, try to take a wider path. When driving into a right curve, keep the right wheel close to the right edge line, and vice versa. While in the curve, use the steering wheel to ensure the small rearview mirror on the inner side of the car's hood always stays at the edge of the outer white line—neither crossing it nor staying too far from the edge line. Adjust the steering direction promptly based on the curve's characteristics and the rear wheel's radius.
