When driving straight, you must look far ahead and hold the steering wheel naturally with both hands. Try to maintain a speed within 25 km/h. If there is any deviation in direction, remember not to make large movements with the steering wheel; only make slight adjustments. Otherwise, the direction may easily veer off when nervous.

When I was practicing the straight-line driving in Subject 3, I found this task wasn’t as difficult as I imagined—just a few small tricks to remember. First, focus your eyes farther ahead, ideally on the horizon at the end of the road or distant road signs, which naturally helps keep the car straight. Don’t grip the steering wheel too tightly; just hold it lightly and make tiny adjustments if you feel the car drifting slightly—avoid sudden, large turns. I maintained a speed of 40 to 50 km/h; too fast makes the car unstable, while too slow makes it harder to control. Also, sit upright, relax your shoulders, and don’t let tension take over. I spent the first few days practicing repeatedly on empty roads, simulating test conditions, and passed the exam on my first try. Remember, it tests steadiness, not speed. Practice more to make it a habit.

As someone who has guided many trainees, the simplest way to handle the straight-line driving in Subject 3 is to break it down step by step. Before getting in the car, check the position of the interior rearview mirror to ensure it doesn’t block your view. Once seated, adjust the seat and mirrors to guarantee a clear view of the road. After starting the engine, accelerate to around 50 km/h and maintain a steady throttle—avoid sudden acceleration or deceleration. Keep your hands relaxed on the steering wheel, fingers lightly resting without gripping tightly, and make minor corrections to prevent drifting; tiny adjustments are sufficient. Common mistakes like fixating on the hood or constantly turning the wheel can increase wobbling, making it harder to stay straight. For practice, I recommend finding a quiet, empty road and running through the exercise several times consecutively. Before the test, take deep breaths to steady your rhythm. The key is to stay relaxed and practice systematically—this reduces mistakes and boosts your score.

From a physical perspective, why is the straight-line driving in Subject 3 easy? The vehicle itself has a dynamic balance mechanism. When the engine maintains a stable RPM, the front wheels automatically align with the driving line—the key is to avoid interference. You just need to keep the speed below 60 km/h, avoid sudden acceleration that disrupts thrust balance, and fix your gaze on a distant target like a tree or traffic light, allowing your brain to naturally calibrate the direction. Don’t grip the steering wheel too tightly; let your hands make slight adjustments to feedback vibrations. Sit upright without leaning, and as long as your center of gravity stays balanced, the car won’t sway easily. During training, I recommend practicing on flat roads to understand the vehicle’s inertia principle—once mastered, the operation becomes smooth and effortless.

When observing students' performance during the test, the most effortless way to maintain straight-line driving is to prevent mistakes in advance. Keep the speed between 40 to 60 km/h, as going too slow or too fast can easily cause deviation. Focus your eyes on a fixed point 100 meters ahead, avoid frequently checking the dashboard, and lightly rest your hands on the steering wheel without actively twisting it. If the car slightly deviates, use your peripheral vision to sense it and make minor adjustments. Common point deductions occur when nervous students grip the wheel tightly or make sudden turns, which often leads to further deviation. I emphasize taking deep breaths to relax before the test, practicing a few simulations to familiarize yourself with the vehicle's trajectory. Simply put, maintain straight-line driving in a relaxed state, minimize unnecessary movements, and pass smoothly.

How many points will be deducted for driving at 84 in an 80 speed limit zone?

As long as the speeding does not exceed 10%, there will be no fine or points deducted. However, in some areas, it may still be considered speeding without imposing fines or penalties. Below is relevant information about highway speed limits: 1. Low-speed restrictions for motor vehicles: On highways, motor vehicles must maintain a minimum speed of no less than 60 km/h. If there are two lanes in the same direction, the minimum speed for the left lane is 100 km/h; if there are three or more lanes in the same direction, the minimum speed for the far-left lane is 110 km/h, and the middle lane's minimum speed is 90 km/h. 2. High-speed restrictions for small passenger vehicles: The maximum speed for small passenger vehicles on highways must not exceed 120 km/h, while other motor vehicles must not exceed 100 km/h, and motorcycles must not exceed 80 km/h. If the speed indicated by road speed limit signs conflicts with the above lane speed regulations, drivers should follow the speed indicated by the road speed limit signs.

How to Deal with Excessive Heat When Sleeping in a Car During Summer?

To cope with the heat when sleeping in a car during summer, you can turn on the air conditioning, but remember to crack open a window slightly for ventilation to ensure air circulation. Otherwise, it can easily lead to oxygen deprivation. It is best to avoid sleeping in the car altogether. Below are some precautions for sleeping in a car: 1. Park in the shade: When parking, choose a spot under a tree or in the shadow of a building, preferably in an open outdoor area. In smaller garages, confined spaces can easily lead to carbon monoxide buildup. Some underground parking lots inherently have poor air circulation, making them areas with thin air. Therefore, when resting, park the vehicle in an open outdoor space to ensure fresh air circulation. 2. Use sunshades: Before leaving the car, use sunshades to cover the front, rear, and even side windows. 3. Open the windows: Before sleeping, fully open the windows to let the hot air escape, then close the windows and turn on the air conditioning for a while to cool down the interior temperature.

What's the matter with the display screen not showing the reversing image?

Here is the relevant introduction about the display screen not showing the reversing image: 1. Host program issue: Sometimes it requires reprogramming or upgrading the program to solve the problem. However, more often than not, just like restarting a computer to fix minor issues, it works fine after a reboot. 2. Navigation data problem: For example, vehicles with connected driving have too many marked points stored in the map; or too many operations on the host in a short time, causing the host to freeze; or issues with real-time traffic information data processing. 3. USB usage problem: For instance, some low-quality USB drives may cause compatibility and data transmission issues, leading to poor host performance. Or there are too many non-multimedia files in the USB drive/hard disk. 4. Bluetooth problem: Such as poor fiber contact in the vehicle's Bluetooth module; or the phone is connected to the vehicle via Bluetooth, and there are many special symbols in the phone's contact names, or some protective software on the phone causes a black screen.

What Are the Summer Driving Safety Precautions?

Here is a relevant introduction to summer driving precautions: 1. Avoid fatigue driving: Summer days are long and nights are short, with high temperatures leading to significant physical exertion, especially at noon when fatigue and drowsiness are common. Therefore, ensure sufficient sleep to stay energetic. If you feel drowsy while driving, pull over promptly and take a short break until you regain full alertness before continuing. 2. Choose and use sunglasses correctly: With ample sunlight in summer, many drivers wear sunglasses. Avoid overly dark lenses; opt for polarized sunglasses instead, as they filter harmful glare and reduce eye strain during driving. 3. Do not drive in slippers: Never compromise safety for comfort by wearing slippers while driving. Slippers lack secure foot grip, and summer heat increases foot perspiration, making sudden maneuvers hazardous. Similarly, avoid high heels—both pose risks. Keep a pair of flat shoes in the car and switch into them when driving.

What Causes Engine Stalling and Shaking at Idle?

The reasons for engine stalling and shaking at idle are: 1. Throttle valve clogging, carbon buildup, or abnormal opening; 2. Fuel injector carbon buildup or clogging; 3. Spark plug burning or damage; 4. Use of low-quality gasoline leading to fuel pump blockage; 5. Incomplete combustion of air-fuel mixture in the cylinder. When the engine starts and runs well from low to high speeds but stalls immediately after releasing the accelerator pedal or becomes unstable before stalling, this can be identified as an idle stalling fault. Solutions for vehicle idle shaking and stalling include: 1. Regularly clean the throttle valve; 2. Periodically clean fuel injectors to prevent carbon buildup; 3. Replace spark plugs; 4. Use gasoline from authorized gas stations.
