Subject 2 reversing into a parking space starts with releasing the clutch, and there is no need to press the brake. Below is an introduction to the content of Subject 2 and techniques for reversing into a parking space. Content of Subject 2: Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. It is the abbreviation for the field driving skills test. For the C1 license, the test items include five mandatory components: reversing into a parking space, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, turning at a right angle, and driving through curves. Techniques for reversing into a parking space: After getting into the car, first adjust the seat's front and back position, and set the backrest to a comfortable angle to ensure free movement of the steering wheel and optimal visibility of the car's hood. Adjust the left and right rearview mirrors so that the car body appears in about one-third of the mirror, with the rear door handle visible at the top edge of the mirror. For right-side reversing, shift into first gear, align the car head straight, and drive out of the parking space in a straight line. When the car hood just covers the opposite side line of the parking space, turn the steering wheel fully to the right. When the car body is parallel to the left side line, straighten the steering wheel and continue forward until the car head crosses the sensor line. At this point, the distance between the car body and the left side line should be within the optimal range to ensure that the subsequent reversing does not cross the line. For left-side reversing, shift into first gear and move forward. When the front hood just obscures the roadside line, turn the steering wheel fully to the left. Once the car head passes the roadside line, press the clutch, step on the brake pedal, shift into reverse gear, and keep the steering wheel fully turned to the left. When the front line of the parking space is about to disappear from the rearview mirror, stop the car to complete the left-side reversing.

Can I exchange the car if there is a problem with the transmission of a new car?

If there is a problem with the transmission of a new car, you can request an exchange. Within the three-guarantee period (the three-guarantee period is 2 years or 50,000 kilometers, whichever comes first), if the cumulative repair time exceeds 35 days, or if the same quality issue leads to repairs more than 5 times, the consumer can exchange the car. Precautions for inspecting a new car are as follows: Check whether the vehicle surface has damages, dents, color differences, paint peeling, or missing body parts. It is recommended to pay special attention to the edges of the doors and areas prone to wear such as the wheel hubs and tires. Open the hood to check if the engine oil is clear, and whether the levels of antifreeze, brake fluid, power steering fluid, and windshield washer fluid are within the standard range. Test whether all buttons inside the vehicle are functional, if the wipers operate normally without leaving streaks, and check all lights. Open the trunk to inspect if the onboard tools (such as the warning triangle, jack, wheel bolt wrench, etc.) and the spare tire are complete. Pay attention to the wheel hubs and tires. There will inevitably be some wear from driving, and the small gap between the brake discs can easily cause scratches during driving. Check if the vehicle documents match the engine identification number on the windshield, and verify the production date. If everything is in order, you can proceed to take delivery of the car.

What Are Some Useful Car Usage Tips?

Some useful car usage tips are as follows: 1. Dealing with lane cutters: When driving, if you encounter a vehicle cutting into your lane, make your intention clear. If you decide to yield, slow down and let them pass; if not, be firm in your decision. Avoid hesitation or ambiguity, as this increases the risk of side-swipe accidents. 2. Handling accidents or traffic jams on highways: If your vehicle is stuck due to an accident or heavy traffic on a highway, never stand in the middle of the road or on the emergency lane if you exit your car. This can easily lead to secondary accidents. Instead, stand outside the highway guardrail. 3. Exiting a parked car on the roadside: When getting out of a car parked on the roadside, use the hand farthest from the door to open it. This slows down the door-opening process and gives you time to check for pedestrians, motor vehicles, or bicycles around your car to avoid hitting them. 4. Reacting to braking vehicles ahead: If you see the brake lights of the vehicle in front of you, maintain a safe distance and also activate your own brake lights to alert vehicles behind you, preventing rear-end collisions. 5. Changing lanes: After signaling your intention to change lanes, don’t switch immediately. Wait a few moments to give drivers in the adjacent lane time to react. 6. Reversing: Avoid over-reliance on electronic aids. In crowded areas, it’s best to reverse while lightly pressing the brake to ensure you don’t miss any pedestrians in your blind spots, enhancing safety. 7. Crossing intersections without traffic lights: At intersections without traffic signals, check both directions thoroughly before proceeding. Ensure both sides are clear, and cross at a moderate speed to avoid collisions with vehicles running red lights from the cross direction.

What is the most appropriate way to pay for car insurance?

Car insurance generally includes the following four types: 1. Compulsory Traffic Insurance: This is a mandatory insurance required by the state, and all motor vehicles must have it to be legally driven on the road. 2. Third-party Liability Insurance: This insurance is considered a supplement to the compulsory insurance, as it covers the same scope, mainly protecting against losses to third parties caused by traffic accidents. 3. Vehicle Damage Insurance: Scratches and dents are common in daily life, and this insurance can cover such damages, reducing the financial burden on the car owner. 4. No-deductible Insurance: By purchasing this additional insurance, the car owner can transfer part of the losses they would otherwise bear to the insurance company, which will then provide 100% compensation according to the policy terms.
