Should You Shift to Neutral When Waiting at a Red Light in an Automatic Car?

In which year was the first car made by the Chinese themselves?

The first car made by the Chinese themselves was in 1956. In 1953, Chairman Mao issued "The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China's Directive on Striving to Complete the Construction of Changchun Automobile Factory in Three Years." The construction of the automobile manufacturing plant was also included as one of China's first key projects in the First Five-Year Plan. On July 13, 1956, on the brand-new assembly line of the Changchun First Automobile Works, the first car, named "Jiefang" (Liberation) by Chairman Mao, was successfully trial-produced. The first phase of production of the Jiefang brand car was the CA10 model, where 'A' stands for the first, and 'C' represents China.

Will the car stall when starting in second gear?

Starting in second gear will not cause the car to stall. The hazards of starting in second gear: insufficient torque. With excellent clutch and throttle coordination, some car models can start in second gear, but it will be very slow, with sluggish acceleration, and the engine may stall if not careful. For vehicles with less power, starting in second gear will directly cause the engine to stall. Forcing the car to start in second gear makes the engine bear high load at low RPM, and the second gear transmission gears will also endure torque loads beyond their design limits. Long-term use can adversely affect the transmission's lifespan, easily leading to engine carbon buildup. If second gear is used for starting over a long period, it can cause severe damage to the engine.

What are the scoring criteria for parallel parking?

The operational requirements for parallel parking are to bring the car to a complete stop in front of the parking space, then reverse into the space in one continuous motion without stopping, without the wheels touching the lane boundary lines or the parking space boundary lines. Below are the specific scoring criteria for parallel parking: After the vehicle stops inside the parking space, if the body extends beyond the lines, it is considered a failure; stopping midway results in a 5-point deduction; touching the lane boundary lines with the tires while moving results in a 10-point deduction; failing to turn on the left turn signal when starting results in a 10-point deduction; failing to turn on the right turn signal when reversing results in a 10-point deduction; failing to park within the parking space results in a failure; failing to complete the test within the allotted time results in a failure; touching the parking space boundary lines with the body while moving results in a 10-point deduction each time.

Does the Side Mirror Touching the Line Count as Passing in Parallel Parking?

It counts as passing because the infrared system only checks if the car body or tires touch or cross the line. Several details, if not handled properly, can lead to varying degrees of touching the side parking space boundary line: Failing to maintain about 30cm distance from the parking space: When entering the parallel parking area from the previous task, try to adjust the distance between the vehicle and the parking space to approximately 30-50cm. Being too far or too close can easily result in touching the line or even affect subsequent reference points. Turning the steering wheel too early or too late: Delayed steering response. Maintain the correct posture and act swiftly, knowing exactly when to turn the wheel. Not straightening the wheels promptly after exiting the parking space. Failing to stop immediately after the car is aligned: During the parking operation, once the car is fully inside the space, always check via the side mirrors to see if the car is straightened, and stop promptly after alignment. Poor speed control: Going too slow may cause the car to stop midway, while going too fast can make it hard to judge reference points accurately, affecting timely steering. Also, when turning the steering wheel to the full lock, ensure the left foot pressing the clutch is steady to prevent sudden speed changes. Therefore, maintaining clutch control and managing speed are crucial for accurate reference point judgment. Rote memorization without understanding reference points: Many learners only memorize the reference points taught by the instructor. The parking process requires three steering actions, and often, after the first turn, they forget to check the other side mirror. For doubts during practice, avoid rote memorization without comprehension—understand the reasoning behind each step. Side mirrors not adjusted properly during preparation: Whether the mirrors are slightly higher or lower, the reference points can differ significantly from the original setup.
