Basic steps for driving a car: 1. Press the brake pedal; 2. Press the one-touch start button; 3. The dashboard lights up and the vehicle starts; 4. Place the automatic gear lever in the D position to enter automatic mode; 5. Press the accelerator, and the vehicle will automatically shift gears. To drive a car, you need to start the vehicle's engine. For an automatic transmission, you engage the gear and then accelerate the vehicle by pressing the accelerator pedal, and decelerate or stop the vehicle by pressing the brake pedal. For a manual transmission, you need to press the clutch before starting the engine, then shift into first gear, gradually release the clutch while moving your right foot from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal, and gently apply some throttle. Coordinate the use of the accelerator and clutch to make the vehicle move forward slowly.

I've been driving for many years, and the basic operations feel quite natural: first adjust the seat and rearview mirror to ensure clear visibility, then fasten the seatbelt, insert the key, and start the engine. For an automatic transmission, press the brake and shift to D, slowly release the brake while gently pressing the accelerator to get moving; for a manual transmission, remember to press the clutch and shift to first gear, gradually releasing the clutch while adding a bit of throttle to avoid stalling. When turning, signal in advance and check the rearview mirror, avoiding sharp turns to maintain smooth driving. When parking, slow down and pull over, press the brake, shift to P, engage the handbrake, and finally turn off the engine. Driving to work every day becomes second nature, listening to the radio to relax, but always staying aware of road conditions. Slow down at intersections for safety.

Which vehicles can be charged by EV Power charging piles?

EV Power charging piles can charge all new energy electric vehicles. EV Power charging piles are divided into two types: AC charging piles and DC charging piles. AC charging piles are for slow charging, while DC charging piles are for fast charging. Power of EV Power AC charging piles: The power is generally 7KW/14kW, etc., and electric vehicles generally support AC charging. EV Power DC charging piles convert 380V power into high-current DC charging voltage through a transformer, with a charging current that can reach 32A and a charging power that can reach 45KW. EV Power fast charging pile equipment adopts an integrated AC/DC structure. It can achieve both DC charging and AC charging. During the day when there is more charging business, the DC method is used for fast charging. At night when there are fewer users at the charging station, AC charging can be used for slow charging operations. According to the installation location, they can be divided into public charging piles and dedicated charging piles: Public charging piles are built in public parking lots combined with parking spaces to provide public charging services for social vehicles. Dedicated charging piles are built in the parking lots of construction units for use by internal personnel. Private charging piles are built in personal parking spaces to provide charging for private users. Charging piles are generally built in combination with parking spaces in parking lots. The protection level of charging piles installed outdoors should not be lower than IP54. The protection level of charging piles installed indoors should not be lower than IP32.

Will You Lose Points for Taking Both Hands Off the Steering Wheel in Subject Two?

Taking both hands off the steering wheel in Subject Two will result in an immediate deduction of 100 points and be treated as a failure, as this constitutes dangerous driving behavior. Point deduction items in the Subject Two test: Not fastening the seatbelt and closing the car door properly, the car body crossing the line, stopping midway, exceeding the time limit, and the wheels pressing the solid edge line will all result in a 100-point deduction. Incorrect use of lights and stalling once will deduct 10 points. Failing to stop at the designated spot will deduct 100 points. If the front bumper of the car does not reach the control line after stopping, 100 points will be deducted. If the car rolls back more than 30 centimeters after stopping, 100 points will be deducted. If the car rolls back less than 30 centimeters after stopping, 10 points will be deducted. Correct steering wheel handling: First, you need to master a safe steering wheel grip. The left hand should grip the steering wheel near the 9 o'clock position, and the right hand near the 3 o'clock position. Both hands should grip the steering wheel firmly yet remain relaxed, not tense. The thumbs should naturally rest on the steering wheel. When turning the steering wheel, the hands should alternate in turning. When the steering wheel completes one full rotation, the left hand turns halfway, followed immediately by the right hand continuing the turn.
