After turning on the high beam in the subject three lighting test, it must be turned back. Otherwise, points will be deducted for not turning it back, resulting in a failed test. The passing criteria for subject three: The road driving skills and safe civilized driving knowledge tests for subject three are each scored out of 100 points, and a score of 90 or above in each is required to pass. The challenges of the subject three test:

In the driving test (Subject 3), it's a fundamental requirement to immediately switch back from high beam to low beam after use. As an experienced driver myself, I fully understand how dangerous it is to leave the lights unreset. Imagine driving at night with high beams on - you'd blind oncoming drivers and double the risk of accidents. Examiners strictly monitor this point during tests to assess your habit formation in equipment control. My advice is to force yourself to switch back during every practice session to build muscle memory and avoid point deductions. Moreover, in real driving situations, this prevents penalties for improper light usage. New drivers especially should cultivate this safety awareness from the licensing exam stage to ensure trouble-free driving - don't let simple mistakes compromise overall safety.

Must emphasize! I recently passed the third driving test, where the lighting section was a key assessment item. The rules explicitly require resetting the device after operation—for example, switching back to low beam immediately after confirming the high beam functions properly, simulating daily driving to avoid prolonged high beam use that could disturb others. I was so nervous that I forgot this step, got criticized by the examiner, lost points, and almost had to retake the test. The instructor stressed this is called a "closed-loop operation," where every action must return to the initial state to ensure safety. Later, I learned this isn’t just exam discipline but also driving etiquette: maintaining proper light usage reduces glare and accidents. I recommend practicing the reset action repeatedly—good habits can help you pass the test smoothly and improve road adaptability.

Yes, I need to dial back. During the test, I didn't switch back in time and just hung up directly. The examiner said the incomplete operation showed weak control ability. Looking back, the coach taught me to reset after the light test to avoid accidentally turning on the high beams, forming a safe habit. In real driving, this is even more important, otherwise, you'll be fined without question. Don't underestimate simple actions.

Certainly, it should be switched back. The headlight switch is designed to require manual reset. If you don't switch back after turning on the high beams, they will stay on and may dazzle other drivers. The exam rules emphasize this detail to test safety awareness; my car's lights operate this way, and the third driving test simulation teaches timely adjustment. Developing the habit of resetting reduces nighttime risks and makes driving smoother and more reliable. Beginners should practice more to ensure switching back after each operation to prevent mistakes.

How to Check if the Antifreeze is Low?

There are two methods to check if the antifreeze is low: 1. Check the antifreeze warning light on the dashboard; 2. Observe the fluid level in the reservoir tank. The full name of antifreeze is antifreeze coolant, which refers to a coolant with antifreeze functionality. Antifreeze prevents the coolant from freezing and expanding in cold winter conditions, which could otherwise crack the radiator or damage the engine cylinder block or head. Antifreeze offers multiple benefits, including freeze protection in winter, boil-over prevention in summer, and year-round protection against scale and corrosion. Guidelines for selecting antifreeze: 1. Choose the freezing point based on the ambient temperature conditions where the vehicle is used. The antifreeze grade corresponds to its freezing point, which should be approximately 10 degrees Celsius lower than the local winter's lowest temperature. 2. Select antifreeze with rust prevention, corrosion inhibition, and descaling functions.

Will Installing a High-Flow Air Filter Affect Engine Lifespan?

Installing a high-flow air filter can impact engine lifespan. An air filter is a type of filtration device. During operation, engines intake large volumes of air. If this air isn't properly filtered, dust particles suspended in the air may enter the cylinders, accelerating wear on piston assemblies and cylinder walls. An engine is a machine that converts other forms of energy into mechanical energy, originally developed in England. It serves both as a power generation device and can refer to the complete machine including the power unit. Engine operation follows a four-stroke cycle: intake stroke, compression stroke, power stroke, and exhaust stroke.

What to Do When the Tire Has a Small Cut?

The solution for a small cut on the tire is to have it repaired at a professional repair shop. Car tires are one of the important components of a vehicle, directly in contact with the road surface. Together with the car suspension, they help absorb shocks while driving, ensuring good adhesion between the wheels and the road, improving the vehicle's traction, braking, and off-road capability, as well as bearing the weight of the car. When buying tires, pay attention to: 1. Determine the appropriate tire type for your car; 2. Know the tire size, usually marked on the side of the tire; 3. Check if the purchased tire is a retreaded one and note the production date of the tire.
