Under the premise that both parties follow traffic rules, large vehicles should yield to smaller cars. Note that private cars are considered large vehicles here. On roads without dedicated bicycle lanes, large vehicles must yield to pedestrians, bicycles, and electric scooters. Even if a car violates traffic rules (e.g., running a red light), the large vehicle may still bear minor responsibility if it fails to make sufficient effort to avoid the collision. Relevant regulations: On roads with two or more motor vehicle lanes in the same direction, the left lane is designated as the fast lane, and the right lane as the slow lane. Vehicles in the fast lane should maintain the prescribed speed; those unable to do so should move to the slow lane. While there is no explicit rule stating that large vehicles must yield to cars, given their higher risk factor, the principle of 'the party posing greater danger bears greater responsibility' provides legal justification for assigning more liability to large vehicles in accidents with cars. Traffic police should determine liability based on the actual causes of the accident when handling cases. Vehicle priority hierarchy: Among large vehicles, emergency vehicles (military, medical, firefighting, police) have the highest priority, followed by buses and coaches carrying many passengers, then more agile private cars and taxis, and finally commercial trucks, cranes, and other engineering vehicles.

I've been driving for over 20 years, and when I see this kind of question, I want to explain it clearly. There's no absolute rule about who should yield between large vehicles and small cars—it all depends on who has the right of way. Back when I drove trucks on the highway, the blind spots were enormous. If a small car squeezed in, we drivers couldn't see it at all, which could easily lead to an accident. In the city, at intersections without traffic lights, small cars should yield to large vehicles because trucks brake slower and have a wider turning radius. Safety comes first. My wife always worries about my driving, so she taught me not to cut in and to maintain a safe distance. When I encounter a large vehicle on the road, I proactively slow down and yield. I also remind my friends not to drive alongside big trucks—if they suddenly change lanes, you're in trouble. Following traffic rules is basic. Whoever violates them ends up paying fines or in the hospital. Everyone should stay sharp.

How Many Questions Are There in Subject 1 in Total for 2021?

According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," the 2021 driver's license examination for Subject 1 consists of 100 questions, divided into single-choice questions and true/false questions. Each question is worth 1 point, totaling 100 points. If 11 questions are answered incorrectly during the exam, the system will automatically submit the test and end the examination. Subject 1, also known as the theoretical test or driver's theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. The exam content includes theoretical driving knowledge, road safety laws and regulations, local regulations, and related knowledge. The test is conducted on a computer 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 cargo vehicles; specialized knowledge for wheeled self-propelled machinery, trams, and trolleybuses. Subject 1 Exam Notes: Candidates should pay attention to their attire during the exam—no slippers are allowed, and electronic devices and bags are prohibited in the examination room. Bring your ID card and queue to enter the waiting hall. Observe the instructions and procedures on the large screen before entering the examination room and store personal belongings in a locker. Upon entering the examination room, verify your identity at the assigned station, find your seat, and begin the exam. Ensure the camera is aligned with you and follow exam discipline. If you fail the first attempt, a retake is available on the same day. If you fail again, you must pay to reschedule. After completing the exam, queue to collect your score report and sign it—failure to sign renders the result invalid. There is no limit to the number of times you can schedule the Subject 1 exam. Each subject can be taken once, and if you fail, you can retake it once. If you do not attend the retake or fail it again, the exam process ends, and you must reschedule. In contrast, Subject 2 and Subject 3 allow only five exam attempts. Subject 2 and Subject 3 exams can be rescheduled after ten days. If you fail the Subject 3 safe and civilized driving knowledge test, your previously passed road driving skills test results remain valid. The driver's license examination consists of three subjects: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3. Subject 1 refers to the road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge test; Subject 2 refers to the field driving skills test; Subject 3 is divided into two parts: road driving skills and safe and civilized driving knowledge test.
