The "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses" clearly stipulate that the questions for the drunk driving Subject 1 test are the same as those for the regular Subject 1 test. The contents of the driving test Subject 1 include: laws, regulations, and rules on road traffic safety; traffic signals and their meanings; knowledge of safe driving and civilized driving; safe driving knowledge under conditions such as highways, mountain roads, bridges, tunnels, nighttime, adverse weather, and complex road conditions; emergency handling knowledge in situations like tire blowouts, steering failure, and brake failure; general structure of motor vehicles, common knowledge of main safety devices, basic knowledge of daily inspections and maintenance; basic knowledge of self-rescue and first aid after traffic accidents, as well as common hazardous materials. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," the Subject 1 test consists of 100 questions, divided into single-choice questions and true/false questions, with each question worth 1 point and a total score of 100 points. If 11 questions are answered incorrectly during the test, the system will automatically submit the test and end the exam. Subject 1, also known as the theoretical test or driver theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driving license assessment. The test content includes driving theory basics, road safety laws and regulations, local regulations, and related knowledge. The test is conducted on a computer, with a time limit of 45 minutes. Notes for the Subject 1 test: Candidates should pay attention to their attire and are not allowed to wear slippers. Electronic devices and bags are not permitted in the examination room. Bring your ID card and queue to enter the waiting hall. Observe the instructions and procedures on the large screen, and store personal belongings in lockers before entering the examination room. Upon entering, the identity verification desk will assign a seat. After finding your seat, begin the test. Ensure the camera is aligned with you and follow exam discipline. If you fail once, you can retake the test the same day. If you fail again, you must pay to reschedule. After the test, queue to collect your score sheet and sign it. Without a signature, the result is invalid. There is no limit to the number of times you can reschedule the Subject 1 test. Each subject can be taken once, and if you fail, you can retake it once. If you do not take the retest or fail the retest, the current test ends, and you must reschedule. However, Subject 2 and Subject 3 only allow five attempts. Subject 2 and Subject 3 tests must be rescheduled at least ten days later. If you fail the Subject 3 safe and civilized driving knowledge test, the previously passed road driving skills test results remain valid. The driving test consists of three subjects: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3. Subject 1 refers to the test on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge. Subject 2 refers to the field driving skills test. Subject 3 is divided into two parts: road driving skills and safe and civilized driving knowledge. The safe and civilized driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject 3, so it is commonly referred to as Subject 4. However, the official term (as per the Ministry of Public Security Order No. 123) does not include "Subject 4."

When it comes to the content of the drunk driving section in the Subject 1 exam, it mainly covers the drunk driving part of traffic laws and regulations. While preparing for the exam, I learned that this section tests your knowledge of alcohol content, such as the blood alcohol concentration level that constitutes illegal driving. In China, exceeding 20mg per 100ml is considered drunk driving, and over 80mg is classified as severe drunk driving, which is often tested in multiple-choice questions. The exam also includes explanations of the dangers of drunk driving, such as its tendency to cause accidents and endanger lives, as well as scenario-based questions that assess whether you should drive after drinking. I remember practice questions describing the legal consequences of severe drunk driving: immediate deduction of 12 points from the driver's license, fines of several thousand yuan, and even imprisonment in serious cases. While reviewing this section, I also paid attention to case studies, such as examples of people who caused accidents due to overconfidence, which taught me to firmly avoid drunk driving. The exam is not just about theory; it also emphasizes safety prevention, such as arranging a designated driver before going out for drinks or reminding friends not to drink and drive. In short, Subject 1 cultivates our awareness of traffic law compliance through these contents, ensuring safety comes first on the road.

What is the Difference Between a Wet Multi-Plate Clutch and a Slipper Clutch?

The difference between a wet multi-plate clutch and a slipper clutch lies in the fact that the wet multi-plate clutch is a component within an automatic transmission, while the slipper clutch can slide appropriately when needed. Below are detailed explanations about automotive clutches: 1. Overview: The automotive clutch is located within the flywheel housing between the engine and the transmission, with the output shaft of the clutch serving as the input shaft of the transmission. During vehicle operation, the driver can depress or release the clutch pedal as needed to temporarily disconnect or gradually engage the engine with the transmission, thereby cutting off or transmitting the engine's power to the transmission. 2. Principle: The driving and driven parts of the clutch utilize friction between contact surfaces, or employ liquid as a transmission medium, or use magnetic transmission (electromagnetic clutch) to transmit torque, allowing temporary separation and gradual engagement between the two parts, while permitting mutual rotation during the transmission process.

Why can't a newly licensed vehicle be bound to 12123?

The reason a new vehicle cannot be registered on the Traffic Management 12123 APP is that the region where the vehicle was licensed does not match the region of the 12123 APP account, so it cannot be bound as the user's registered vehicle. The solution is to deactivate the current 12123 account, then re-register a new 12123 account, selecting the region that matches the vehicle's registration certificate, and apply again for the new vehicle registration. Each region's vehicles are managed by the local Vehicle Management Office, and the vehicle's records are kept at the local Vehicle Management Office. After receiving the license plate, the new vehicle should first be registered before obtaining the vehicle registration certificate. The registration location is the local Safety Committee. During registration, the owner must bring their identity proof and temporary driving license. A registered vehicle is one that has completed the "Motor Vehicle Change Registration/Registration Application Form," along with providing the owner's identity proof, vehicle price proof, and vehicle qualification proof (both original and copies). Other original documents will be returned to the owner after review by the tax authority.

Where to Pay the Fine for Not Wearing a Seat Belt in the Back Seat?

Fines for not wearing a seat belt in the back seat are not paid at the traffic police station but at the bank specified on the penalty notice. You can also pay the fine through online banking or Alipay. Definition of Back Seat Seat Belt: As the name suggests, the back seat seat belt is used by passengers in the back seat. Most people are well aware of the importance of seat belts, but this awareness is usually limited to front seat passengers. In fact, back seat passengers also need to wear seat belts to protect their lives. Function of Seat Belts: Wearing a seat belt can prevent inertial impact. China's "Road Traffic Safety Law" clearly states that drivers and passengers must use seat belts as required when the vehicle is in motion. Traffic police remind the public that when a car collides or brakes suddenly, seat belts can counteract the tremendous inertia, preventing passengers from being thrown off their seats or out of the vehicle. Drivers who frequently transport children should ensure that children sit in the back seat and wear seat belts.

Can a Full-Size Spare Tire Be Used as a Regular Tire?

Full-size spare tires cannot be used as regular tires. Even if the size is identical, a full-size spare tire can only be used as an emergency tire. Below is relevant information about car spare tires: 1. Concept of Spare Tires: A spare tire refers to a backup tire for a car, with specifications matching those of the original car tires. However, some vehicles use special-colored rim spare tires, compact spare tires, folding spare tires, or run-flat tires to remind owners to promptly inspect and replace faulty tires. 2. Types of Spare Tires: There are three types of spare tires: full-size spare tires, non-full-size spare tires, and run-flat tires. Full-size spare tires have identical specifications to the other four tires on the vehicle and can replace any temporarily or permanently unusable tire. Non-full-size spare tires have slightly smaller diameters and widths compared to the other four tires, making them suitable only for temporary use and exclusively for non-drive wheels. Run-flat tires, also known as safety tires or colloquially as "anti-blowout tires," are directly translated in the industry as "tires that maintain functionality when deflated."
