A2 subject three test 16 items detailed introduction: Preparation before getting on the car: The student walks around the car for a week, observes the shape of the car and the surrounding environment, observes the tires and tire pressure of the car, and reports to the judge to get on the car after confirming safety. When opening the car door, pay attention to whether there is a car coming from behind, get on the car as soon as possible, and do not affect traffic. Starting: Before starting, adjust the seat, fasten the seat belt, turn on the light, brake, and shift gears, none of which can be missed. If you are afraid of forgetting, remember this mantra "from top to bottom, from left to right". When starting, pay attention to observe the rearview mirror and the condition of the car, and entering the lane at a small angle is safer. Driving in a straight line: Maintain a moderate speed and drive in a straight line. If there is a car in front, maintain a safe distance. During driving, observe the inside and outside rearview mirrors appropriately, but not for too long. Addition and subtraction gear operation:

When I was taking the A2 driver's license test, my instructor repeatedly emphasized the 16 items in Subject 3: Before getting in the car, you must walk around the vehicle for inspection; when starting, you must first turn on the turn signal and check the rearview mirror; for straight-line driving, you must stabilize the steering wheel to avoid drifting; for gear shifting, remember that the 4th gear has a speed limit of 30 km/h; when changing lanes, you must signal at least three seconds in advance; when approaching an intersection, you must slow down in advance; for left turns, you must enter the middle lane; for right turns, you must avoid crossing the line; when you see a crosswalk, you must step on the brake; the speed limit in school zones is 30 km/h; near bus stops, you must slow down and look around; when meeting another vehicle, you must maintain a safe distance; before overtaking, you must flash your lights and honk; for U-turns, you must use the maximum turning radius; during the night test, you must be proficient with light combinations; finally, when parking by the roadside, you must stop within 30 centimeters. Every action is related to safety, and missing any step will result in an immediate failure, so everyone must develop muscle memory during practice.

As a seasoned truck driver with over a decade of experience, I'd like to highlight 16 crucial points for Subject 3 of the driving test: Starting with adjusting the mirrors before setting off, pay attention to the clutch control during initial movement. Maintain around 40 km/h during straight-line driving. Gear changes should be smooth without jerking. Always check blind spots when changing lanes. Apply brakes in advance when approaching intersections. Control speed properly during left and right turns. Be extra vigilant on both sides at pedestrian crossings. No honking in school zones. Bus stops are easily overlooked. Maintain safe distance on the right during oncoming traffic. Overtaking maneuvers should be decisive. Choose wide sections for U-turns. There are 9 random commands in the nighttime lighting test. Align the wiper with the roadside marking for parallel parking. These may seem simple, but every detail counts during the exam - especially basic mistakes like forgetting to signal when starting, which is such a pity to fail for.

For students who have just passed the A2 Subject 3 test, the 16 essential skills to master are: vehicle preparation, starting operation, straight-line driving, gear shifting, lane changing, straight intersections, left turns, right turns, pedestrian crossings, school zones, bus stops, meeting vehicles, overtaking, U-turns, simulated nighttime driving, and pulling over. Key points to note: don’t rush to answer during the nighttime light simulation, remember to check the rearview mirror when overtaking, and failing to slow down or brake at intersections will result in deductions. The most stable method for pulling over is aligning the door handle with the edge line.

Over the years of teaching large vehicle driving, I've found that trainees most commonly overlook these 16 details: Walk around the vehicle to check tires; Turn on left signal before shifting into gear when starting; Don't adjust steering wheel during straight-line driving; Keep speed below 40km/h in 4th gear; Turn off turn signal immediately after lane change; Apply light brake within 30 meters of intersections; Keep turn signal on during turns; Slow down 20 meters before pedestrian crossings; Reduce speed to 25km/h in school zones; Make obvious slowing and observation movements at bus stops; Don't get too close to roadside during oncoming traffic; Overtake only from the left side; Use 1st gear for slow U-turns; Wait for voice prompt to complete before operating lights at night; Apply parking brake before turning off engine when parking. Recommend recording the operation procedures on your phone for repeated review.

What does the 'check' light on the car mean?

When the 'check' light appears on your car, it is alerting the driver that there is an issue with the engine system, and the vehicle should be taken to a maintenance facility for inspection. If a sensor or switch in the engine system fails while driving, the computer will use preset values to allow the engine to continue running, while simultaneously illuminating the 'check' or 'check ENGINE' light on the dashboard. The main causes of engine failure include: 1. Dirty throttle body or fuel injectors; 2. Excessive engine carbon buildup; 3. Leaks in the intake system, crankcase ventilation system, or secondary air system; 4. Blocked catalytic converter or faulty oxygen sensor; 5. Use of substandard fuel; 6. Poor combustion conditions.

What causes the antifreeze reservoir to boil over?

The reasons for the antifreeze reservoir boiling over are: 1. The radiator stops functioning, causing the water temperature to become too high; 2. The antifreeze is not circulating, the thermostat is not opening, or the water pump is not working properly, leading to blockage in the water circulation pipeline; 3. Insufficient antifreeze or poor-quality antifreeze with a low boiling point, making it prone to boiling over. The full name of antifreeze is antifreeze coolant, meaning it is a coolant with antifreeze properties. It prevents the coolant from freezing and expanding in cold winter conditions, which could crack the radiator or damage the engine cylinder block or head. Antifreeze is a type of coolant containing special additives, mainly used in liquid-cooled engine cooling systems. It offers excellent performance in preventing freezing in winter, boiling in summer, and protecting against scale and corrosion throughout the year.

Which One is the Brake Pedal?

Location of the brake pedal: 1. Automatic transmission vehicles have two pedals, with the left one being the brake pedal; 2. Manual transmission vehicles have three pedals, with the middle one being the brake pedal. The brake pedal is the pedal that restricts power, i.e., the pedal for the foot brake (service brake), used to decelerate and stop the vehicle. It is one of the most frequently used driving controls in a car, and how the driver operates it directly affects driving safety. The working principle of the brake pedal is: a wheel or disc is fixed on the high-speed shaft of the machine, and corresponding brake shoes, bands, or discs are installed on the machine base, which generate braking torque under external force.

How to Check if a Vehicle Has Been in an Accident?

Methods to check if a vehicle has been in an accident include: 1. Inspect the paint: Large-area repainting will result in paint thickness outside the normal range, which can be easily detected with a paint thickness gauge; 2. Examine the front and rear bumpers: Signs of accidents can usually be found on the bumpers. Open the hood and use a flashlight to check for scratches or welding marks; 3. Check the engine compartment: If screws appear to have been turned or there are abnormal wrinkles or dents, further inspection is needed; 4. Inspect the A, B, and C pillars: First, look for obvious dents, then remove the door frame rubber strips to check if the welding points are neat.
