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.

Recalling my experience of getting a driver's license in Shanghai, the process included three parts: theory, closed-course, and road tests. The written exam for Subject 1 covered traffic regulations, and I spent a week studying every day to pass. Subject 2 involved practicing basic skills like reversing and right-angle turns in a closed course. For me, the most challenging part was controlling the direction in S-curves. Subject 3 was the urban road test, where the examiner randomly selected a route to test turning and parking. I happened to encounter rainy and slippery road conditions, but fortunately, I managed to stay steady. The entire process took about three months, requiring appointment bookings and a medical check-up. Looking back, it's important not to rush during the test, always observe the rearview mirrors and blind spots, and prioritize safety. Now, after driving for several years, I realize these tests were indeed very helpful in preventing many minor accidents.

I'm preparing for the Shanghai driver's license test, which consists of four parts: Subject 1 (theory), Subject 2 (field test), Subject 3 (road test), and Subject 4 (safety knowledge). The theory test on traffic rules requires a passing score of 90; the field test involves basic operations like reverse parking and parallel parking; the road test is conducted on actual roads in Shanghai, testing driving skills such as handling traffic signals; and the safety knowledge test is an advanced written exam on rules. I spend all day practicing questions and attending driving school, especially struggling with hill starts. The instructor suggested taking several mock tests to familiarize myself with the process and avoid nervousness during the actual test. In short, the test is intensive, and I need to focus on reviewing for about a month to pass smoothly.

What to Do If the Car Stalls in Deep Water?

If the car stalls in deep water, do not attempt to restart the vehicle immediately. Instead, call your insurance company and a repair service for assistance. Here is relevant information: 1. Skidding: Driving on waterlogged roads reduces braking efficiency and increases the risk of skidding. Hold the steering wheel firmly with both hands, maintain a straight path and drive at low speed. When turning, apply the brakes gently to prevent wheel lock-up and skidding. 2. Never restart the engine after stalling in water: In such cases, promptly contact an authorized 4S shop for repairs and inform them that the car stalled due to water exposure to avoid engine damage from accidental restart during repairs. Professional 4S shops will use computer diagnostic tools to immediately determine the cause of the stall. Most roadside repair shops lack this advanced diagnostic system.

Is the thick or thin car air conditioning pipe the high-pressure one?

The thin car air conditioning pipe is the high-pressure pipe, while the thick one is the low-pressure pipe. Below are other methods to distinguish them: 1. High-pressure: Another way to distinguish is that the compressor to the condenser and the condenser to the evaporator box are all high-pressure. 2. Low-pressure: From the evaporator box to the compressor is low-pressure. Below are the steps to replace the air filter: 1. Choose the filter: Select the appropriate filter. 2. Unpack the filter: Open the new filter packaging and check if it is intact and undamaged. 3. Remove the filter: Remove the original car filter. 4. Take off the felt pad: Remove the felt pad covering the air outlet. 5. Open the cover: After removing the felt pad, you will see the rectangular cover of the air filter. Pull the cover to the right to open it. 6. Replace the filter: Take out the old filter and replace it with the new one.

Does the door light consume power if it stays on?

If the door light stays on, it definitely consumes power, but the amount is not significant. Here is relevant information: 1. Close the car door: The switches for the car doors and windows rely on the battery for power, so it's best to close all windows before turning off the engine, close the doors after turning off the engine, and use the long-press lock button method to secure the doors after leaving the car. 2. Turn off the air conditioning and audio before shutting down the engine: The air conditioning system involves the compressor, blower, and audio, which are high-power electrical devices. Not turning them off before shutting down the engine will place a heavy burden on the battery and cause damage. 3. Avoid leaving the vehicle parked for long periods: The car's battery will automatically discharge during prolonged inactivity. The vehicle should be used regularly to prevent automatic battery discharge issues.

What Stickers Should Be Displayed on a Car?

Vehicle inspection compliance sticker, vehicle environmental protection sticker, compulsory insurance sticker. The following is relevant information about vehicle stickers: Vehicle inspection compliance sticker: Valid for one year. Vehicle environmental protection sticker: Issued for energy-saving and emission-reduction inspections and regular vehicle environmental protection checks, categorized into yellow and green labels, requiring annual inspection. Compulsory insurance sticker: Currently, vehicles only need to display two stickers: compulsory insurance and annual inspection. The environmental protection sticker has been canceled and merged with the annual inspection sticker. Private vehicles with 6 seats or fewer (including 6 seats) are exempt from on-site inspections for the first 6 years, but must submit compulsory insurance documents to the traffic police department every 2 years to renew the annual inspection sticker. Starting from the 6th year, vehicles must undergo annual inspections until the vehicle reaches 15 years old.

How to Open the Engine Hood of the Buick Excelle?

The operation to open the engine hood of the Buick Excelle is as follows: Locate the engine hood release lever below the steering wheel on the left side, pull it upwards to release, and then return it to its original position. There is a safety latch in the center front of the vehicle hood. Move the safety latch towards the driver's side of the vehicle and lift the engine hood to open it. When closing the engine hood: First, lower the hood support stand, while using your other hand to hold the hood. Slowly lower it until the hood is about 50mm-60mm from closing, then let it drop freely. You will hear a 'clunk' sound indicating that it is securely locked. If you do not allow the hood to drop freely from this height, it may not close properly. Of course, if you release it from too high, it might cause distress to car owners who cherish their vehicles.

What is the difference between high-power and low-power engines in cars?

High-power engines and low-power engines differ not only in turbo pressure and control programs, but also in compression ratio, piston shape, and cooling system design. Many turbocharged models utilize both high-power and low-power engines. Relevant details are as follows: 1. Fuel: A car engine uses a mixture of fuel and air as its fuel source. By increasing the intake air volume and correspondingly increasing the fuel injection volume, the amount of fuel in the engine can be increased. With more fuel in the engine, the power output of the car engine can be enhanced. 2. Turbocharger: Turbocharged engines are equipped with a turbocharger, which consists of two parts: a compression turbine and an exhaust turbine. The compression turbine and exhaust turbine are connected by the same shaft, with the compression turbine linked to the engine's intake manifold and the exhaust turbine connected to the engine's exhaust manifold.
