Shanghai driving license test also consists of four subjects. Here are some driving test tips: 1. Following distance and anti-rear-end braking technique: When following another vehicle, the main purpose of braking is to maintain a safe distance from the car ahead, which means keeping a speed basically consistent with the leading vehicle through braking. Therefore, the key technique is to press the brake pedal gently, maintain braking force, then increase or decrease the force according to the leading vehicle's speed. 2. Cornering braking technique: When approaching a curve, you should brake before entering the turn, slow down to enter the curve steadily, then accelerate when exiting. While braking during cornering, you need to steer simultaneously, adjusting the vehicle's posture along the curve's arc. Avoid sudden hard braking, especially for vehicles in outer lanes, to prevent loss of control.

I just passed my driver's license test in Shanghai, which mainly consists of four major parts. The first subject is a theoretical written test on traffic rules and basic knowledge, where I answered multiple-choice questions on a computer, and I needed to score at least 90 to pass. The second subject is the field driving skills test, which includes practical operations like reversing into a parking space, parallel parking, and starting on a slope. My instructor said I needed at least two weeks of practice, otherwise, it would be easy to fail. The third subject is the on-road practical test, where the examiner sits in the passenger seat while I drive in real traffic conditions, checking my handling of intersections, lane changes, and emergency stops. The fourth subject is a written test on safe and civilized driving, with questions more focused on practical safety knowledge. After the test, I felt the road test was the most nerve-wracking because Shanghai's roads are crowded with cars, so I needed more practice on following distance and traffic signals. Now that I have my license, I can go on road trips on weekends. I recommend downloading a driving test app in advance to practice questions.

How long does it take to fully charge a depleted car battery?

A depleted car battery can be fully charged by running the engine for 4 hours. The car battery, also known as a storage battery, is a type of battery that works by converting chemical energy into electrical energy. It refers to a lead-acid battery, which is primarily made of lead and its oxides, with sulfuric acid solution as the electrolyte. Avoid leaving your car parked for too long, as prolonged inactivity can lead to battery depletion. Try to prevent extended parking in open-air parking lots. Signs that indicate a fully charged battery: 1. The indicator eye turns green when fully charged; 2. A large number of bubbles appear in the battery, creating a "boiling" phenomenon; 3. The terminal voltage rises to its maximum and no longer increases within two hours; 4. The electrolyte level rises to its highest point and no longer increases within two hours.

What needs to be replaced when the car reaches 20,000 kilometers?

When the car reaches 20,000 kilometers, it is necessary to replace the cabin air filter and oil filter, perform front and rear tire rotation, and carry out four-wheel alignment and tire dynamic balance. Additionally, the brake pads should be inspected and replaced if necessary. After replacing the brake pads three times, the brake discs will need to be replaced. The 20,000-kilometer maintenance is the car's third scheduled service. The oil filter prevents impurities from mixing with the engine oil, which can cause oxidation and the formation of sludge that clogs the oil passages. The air filter's function is to block dust and particles that the engine might inhale during the intake process. If the filter is not cleaned regularly, it can lead to dust entering the engine, causing abnormal wear on the cylinder walls.

What Causes the Steering Wheel to Pull to the Left When Driving Straight?

Reasons for the steering wheel pulling to the left when driving straight: 1. Abnormal or uneven tire wear, causing the tire contact surface to tilt; 2. Uneven tire pressure, causing the vehicle to drift toward the side with lower pressure, resulting in directional deviation when driving straight; 3. Inaccurate four-wheel alignment data; 4. Unilateral brake drag on the steering wheels, increasing resistance on one side and requiring directional adjustments to maintain straight driving; 5. Deformation of the vehicle's stabilizer bar, causing misalignment and pulling; 6. Failed shock absorbers; 7. Steering gear malfunction. If the steering wheel pulls to the left when driving straight, the owner should first inspect the tires and chassis suspension components at a repair shop to confirm no abnormalities before checking and adjusting the four-wheel alignment. Avoid making blind adjustments.

What symptoms will a car show if the ignition coil is broken?

Symptoms of a broken ignition coil in a car: 1. The body shakes noticeably when idling; 2. While driving, when the speed is below 2500 rpm, the body shakes noticeably and acceleration is weak; 3. Opening the engine cover and observing the running engine reveals obvious shaking. Causes of ignition coil failure: 1. Short circuit in the spark plug, leading to increased current in the ignition coil and a short circuit; 2. Excessive carbon buildup on the spark plug, increasing the load on the ignition coil, leading to failure after prolonged overload operation; 3. Short circuit of the high-voltage wire to ground, causing increased current in the ignition coil and a short circuit; 4. Open circuit in the high-voltage wire, preventing the high voltage generated by the ignition coil from being released, leading to voltage buildup and discharge to ground, causing failure; 5. High power supply voltage, resulting in excessive current in the primary circuit, abnormal heating, and causing the ignition coil to burst.

What Causes Gear Disengagement in Manual Transmissions?

Reasons for gear disengagement in manual transmissions: 1. Wear or detachment of the curved working surface at the lower end of the gear lever, excessive wear of the gear lever ball head; 2. Looseness of the gear lever head positioning pin, wear or detachment of the positioning pin, excessive wear of the gear lever ball head; 3. Excessive wear of the lock pin or lock ball in the interlock mechanism of the shift fork shaft, exceeding 0.02mm, resulting in loss of interlock function. A manual transmission is a gear-shifting device used to alter the speed and torque transmitted from the engine to the drive wheels, enabling the vehicle to achieve varying traction and speed under different conditions such as starting from a standstill, climbing hills, turning corners, and accelerating, while also allowing the engine to operate within a more favorable range. Functions of manual transmissions: 1. Changing the transmission ratio to expand the range of torque and speed variations at the drive wheels, adapting to frequently changing driving conditions; 2. Utilizing the reverse gear to enable the vehicle to move backward while maintaining the engine's rotational direction; 3. Using the neutral gear to interrupt power transmission without shutting off the engine, facilitating engine startup, warm-up, idling, gear shifting, coasting, or temporary stops.
