When driving through curves, you should half-depress the clutch to control the vehicle speed. Here are some techniques for curve driving: 1. Approaching the Test Area: When the in-car voice prompt begins, drive the vehicle to the entrance of the curve, adjusting it to the center of the road. Try to keep the outer front wheel close to the right edge of the curve. 2. Entering the Curve Zone: Drive the vehicle along the right side. When the left front corner aligns with the right edge line, turn the steering wheel one full turn to the left while making minor adjustments. Pay attention to the distance between the wheel and the curve edge in the right rearview mirror. 3. Completing the Right Edge Line: Keep the steering wheel steady until the right vertex of the hood touches the left edge line of the right turn, then straighten the wheel and proceed slowly. When the left 1/3 of the hood touches the left edge line, turn the wheel one full turn to the right while making minor adjustments to align the right front corner with the left edge line of the right turn. Follow the S-curve to the right to avoid crossing or leaving the line. 4. Exiting the S-Curve: When the hood is aligned with the exit, quickly straighten the wheel and continue driving out of the curve driving test area.

What are the common charging methods for batteries?

Common charging methods for batteries: 1. Constant current charging method, during the charging process, the charging current remains unchanged, called the constant current charging method, referred to as CC charging method or equal current charging method; 2. Constant voltage charging method, during the charging process, the charging voltage remains unchanged, called the constant voltage charging method, referred to as CV charging method or equal voltage charging method; 3. Constant voltage charging with fixed resistance, that is, a resistor is connected in series between the charging power supply and the battery, so that the current in the early stage of charging can be adjusted. A battery is a device that directly converts chemical energy into electrical energy. It is a battery designed for rechargeable purposes, and recharging is achieved through reversible chemical reactions.

Should You Press the Brake or Clutch First When Decelerating?

When decelerating, press the brake first, then the clutch. In fact, it's not always necessary to press the clutch when braking; frequently pressing the clutch can be detrimental as it wears out the clutch plate. The clutch is typically used when shifting gears or when coming to a temporary stop without shifting to neutral. Avoid pressing the clutch while braking; instead, press it only when the car slows down enough to require a gear change. When braking downhill, try not to shift to neutral or press the clutch; simply maintain an appropriate gear based on your speed. The clutch should never be used as a brake. Pressing the clutch downhill will cause the car to accelerate faster because the drivetrain disconnects from the wheels, and the engine can no longer control the vehicle's speed, allowing gravity to take over.

What are the practical techniques for reverse parking?

Practical techniques for reverse parking: 1. Align the car body and maintain a distance of about 1 meter from the adjacent vehicle; 2. Use the right rear wheel to locate the tire point, and immediately turn the steering wheel to full lock once the tire passes the tire point at the upper right corner of the parking space; 3. After adjusting the car body position, straighten the steering wheel and continue reversing until the car is completely parked; 4. Control the driving speed, using first gear or reverse gear idle speed throughout the process, maintaining the same speed as when starting; 5. Control the timing of steering, observe carefully during reversing, grasp the key points of steering, and steer at the right time; 6. Control the driving path, which mainly depends on the speed of steering wheel rotation and driving speed. When reversing, aim for the boundary line and adjust the direction in time to ensure the car enters the parking space straight.
