When driving at night, use high beam or low beam headlights according to road safety laws. Regulations for night driving: When driving at night on roads without street lights, under poor lighting conditions, or in low visibility situations such as fog, rain, snow, dust, or hail, you should turn on the headlights, position lights, and rear lights. However, when following another vehicle closely in the same direction, you must not use high beams. When passing sharp curves, slopes, arched bridges, pedestrian crossings, or intersections without traffic lights at night, you should alternately switch between high and low beams as a signal. Precautions for night driving: Increase following distance, strictly control vehicle speed, and slow down when meeting other vehicles at night.

What are the prerequisites for taking the Subject 1 test?

The prerequisites for taking the Subject 1 test are as follows: 1. Vision: For applicants applying for large passenger vehicles, tractors, city buses, medium-sized passenger vehicles, large trucks, trolleybuses, or tram driving licenses, the naked or corrected visual acuity of both eyes must reach 5.0 or above on the logarithmic visual acuity chart. For other driving license types, the naked or corrected visual acuity of both eyes must reach 4.9 or above on the logarithmic visual acuity chart. 2. Other aspects: No red-green color blindness. The actual driving school physical examination content should match the vision requirements. The ability to distinguish the direction of sound sources with each ear 50 centimeters away from a tuning fork. Both thumbs must be intact, and each hand must have at least three other fingers intact, with normal limb and finger movement functions. Normal motor function.

What Operations Can Cause Engine Stalling?

1. Abnormal resistance value of the crankshaft position sensor: Causes the crankshaft speed signal to disappear after the engine warms up, leading to engine stalling; 2. Malfunction of the fuel pump: Changes in resistance after prolonged operation prevent normal functioning and the provision of proper fuel pressure, resulting in engine stalling when warm; 3. Ignition system failure: Overheating of the ignition module leads to malfunction, causing ignition voltage failure and engine stalling; 4. Abnormal throttle signal voltage: Improper control by the engine computer can cause the vehicle to stall while driving; 5. Loose wiring connections: Result in sporadic engine stalling. Such faults require comprehensive inspection. It is recommended to leave the vehicle at a 4S shop for mechanics to conduct a test drive and check, ensuring the fault is resolved before driving again to avoid compromising driving safety.

Can a Car Idle for a Long Time with the Air Conditioner On?

Keeping the air conditioner on while the car is idling after parking causes incomplete combustion of gasoline, as the engine only operates at idle speed. Unburned gasoline produces toxic substances such as carbon monoxide. If the car doors and windows remain tightly closed for a long time under these conditions, exhaust fumes can enter the sealed cabin. When these fumes accumulate to a certain level, they can cause carbon monoxide poisoning. The reasons for unpleasant odors in car air conditioners are as follows: 1. Dust accumulation in the indoor filter and copper fins: After prolonged use, dust builds up inside the indoor filter and copper fins. When this accumulation reaches a certain level, it produces odors that disperse into the air when the air conditioner is turned on. 2. Moisture inside the indoor unit: After cooling or heating, the indoor unit often retains moisture. If the air conditioner is turned off immediately without a drying or anti-mold function, the moisture remains inside, leading to mold growth over time and the natural development of musty odors.

Can 17565r14 and 17570r14 be used interchangeably?

There is an impact. Due to different specifications and pressure ratings, they cannot be interchanged. 175: The tire width is 175 millimeters; 65: Known as the tire's aspect ratio, meaning the ratio of the sidewall height to the tire width is 65%; R: Radial tire, 14: The rim diameter is 14 inches. 165: The tire width is 175 millimeters; 70: Known as the tire's aspect ratio, meaning the ratio of the sidewall height to the tire width is 70%; R: Radial tire, 14: The rim diameter is 14 inches. Additional information: 1. Wheel modification: Wheel modification is often the first step for many people. Not only does it significantly enhance the appearance of the vehicle, but it also directly improves certain aspects of the car's performance. 2. Wheel deformation: The most direct effect of wheel deformation is causing your vehicle to pull to one side. This may not be noticeable at low speeds, but at high speeds or when accelerating, even a slight deviation can be magnified, affecting safety.

What Causes a 170 Gasoline Engine to Start and Then Stall Immediately?

170 gasoline engine starts and then stalls immediately for the following reasons: 1. Spark plug: The spark plug loses its ignition capability. 2. Throttle: The throttle malfunctions. 3. Carbon deposits: Carbon deposits cause incomplete combustion of gasoline, leading to engine shaking. Engine carbon deposits have a significant impact on the car. First, they reduce engine power, resulting in uneven power output and gradual attenuation—in other words, the engine becomes increasingly weak. Second, they increase fuel consumption, adding to your financial burden. Third, they make cold starts difficult, meaning the engine is hard to ignite. Severe carbon deposits in the combustion chamber can even cause cylinder knocking, producing noises during low-speed acceleration and damaging the pistons and crankshaft. This leads to engine overheating, severely compromising vehicle safety. Additionally, carbon deposits cause excessive emissions, not only failing annual inspections but also worsening environmental pollution. 4. Transmission load: Overloading the transmission degrades the quality and friction characteristics of the transmission fluid, increasing friction and wear. This results in transmission noise, and sludge (impurities or dirt) can form inside the transmission (e.g., in the valve body), causing issues like jerking, gear disengagement, impact, slipping, stalling, abnormal noises, delays, overheating, and oil leaks.

What are the tips for answering point deduction questions in the Subject 1 exam?

Subject 1 of the driver's license exam primarily tests knowledge of "Road Safety Laws and Regulations," and questions related to these regulations tend to have high error rates. This is especially true for point deduction questions, as there are many types of violations, each carrying different point penalties. Content of the Subject 1 exam: Basic knowledge of motor vehicles; laws, regulations, and road traffic signals; fundamentals of safe and civilized driving; basic knowledge related to motor vehicle operation. Exam duration: The Subject 1 exam lasts 45 minutes. Passing score for Subject 1: The Subject 1 exam consists of 100 questions, including true/false and multiple-choice questions, with a total score of 100. A score of 90 or above is required to pass. The exam questions are randomly selected and combined by the computer-based driver examination system according to the proportion specified in the "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Work Regulations."
