Hazardous flammable solids in Subject 4 include matches, etc. Below is an introduction to the knowledge related to the driver's license test: 1. Definition of driver's license: The full name of the driver's license is the motor vehicle driver's license, which is the certificate required by law for motor vehicle drivers. 2. Definition of Subject 1 test: Subject 1, also known as the Subject 1 theory test or driver theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," the test content includes driving theory basics, road safety laws and regulations, local regulations, and other related knowledge. The test format is computer-based, with 100 questions, and a passing score of 90 or above.

I remember memorizing the part about flammable solids when preparing for the Subject 4 exam. The most frequently tested items include matches, sulfur, and red phosphorus, especially red phosphorus which is prone to spontaneous combustion—remember its difference from ordinary red phosphorus. Also, magnesium powder is dangerous; there was news about how difficult it was to extinguish a magnesium powder fire in a factory. Nitrocellulose requires special attention—it's used as bullet primer material, and this point is often tested. Others like activated carbon and aluminum powder also frequently appear on the list. When driving, if you encounter trucks carrying these hazardous materials, remember to keep a safe distance and avoid keeping matches in the car. For review, I recommend focusing on memorizing their flammable properties—this is more useful than just memorizing the names.

We veteran long-haul drivers are well aware that hazardous materials are categorized into several classes. The flammable solids section is covered in detail in the Category 4 exam, mainly including matches, sulfur, and red phosphorus. Everyone is familiar with matches, but don't assume sulfur is only encountered at hot springs—it releases toxic gases when heated. Red phosphorus requires even more caution as it can ignite from friction, so extra care is needed during loading. Our company regulations require such cargo to be packed separately in well-ventilated compartments with dry powder fire extinguishers on standby. Exam questions often ask how to handle these materials, but the key is simply following safety protocols—avoiding high temperatures and sparks is crucial.

Those who have worked in chemical plants are well aware of the properties of hazardous solids. The flammable solids tested in Subject 4, such as sulfur, may appear as yellow rocks under normal conditions but can burn violently when reaching their ignition point. Red phosphorus is even more dangerous, as slight heating or friction can trigger a fire. Magnesium powder is not only flammable but also reacts violently with water. When driving, if you encounter a truck labeled with such hazardous materials, keeping a safe distance is the best strategy. At home, be cautious not to store matches with other flammable materials. Remembering these characteristics is far more useful than memorizing names.

When reviewing for Subject 4, I compiled a list of hazardous materials. Flammable solids mainly include matches, sulfur, red phosphorus, magnesium powder, and nitrocellulose. Among these, matches and sulfur are more common, while red phosphorus can ignite upon impact, making it highly dangerous. The exam often tests the differences in characteristics of various solids, such as activated charcoal, which is also a flammable solid but has a higher ignition point. There are also differences in transportation regulations; sulfur can be transported by ordinary trucks, but nitrocellulose requires specialized explosion-proof vehicles. These points can be easily memorized by summarizing them while practicing the question bank.

Can a Spare Tire Be Used After Being Idle for Twelve Years?

Spare tires cannot be used after being idle for twelve years. The lifespan of a spare tire is approximately four years. Overview of Car Tires: Car tires are one of the essential components of a vehicle, directly in contact with the road surface. Together with the car suspension, they help absorb shocks encountered during driving, ensuring good ride comfort and smooth driving. Functions of Car Tires: They ensure good adhesion between the wheels and the road surface; improve the vehicle's traction, braking, and off-road capability; and bear the weight of the car. The critical role tires play in a vehicle is increasingly being recognized. They should be handled with caution.

Why does a brand-new car show insufficient battery power right after purchase?

This situation is normal and may be caused by the car being parked for an extended period. In such cases, you can use a professional charger to recharge the battery. The role of the battery: The battery is a crucial component in a car. Without it, the vehicle cannot operate normally. The battery is also a wearable part that requires regular replacement. Precautions: When the engine is not running, the battery supplies power to all electronic devices in the car and is also responsible for starting the engine. During engine startup, components such as the starter, fuel supply system, and ignition system all need to operate.

How many kilometers for the first maintenance of BYD Han?

BYD Han's first maintenance is at 5000 kilometers. Before the first car maintenance: The period before the first maintenance of a car is generally referred to as the break-in period. The surfaces of new transmission components always have certain minor imperfections, causing the contact and meshing between parts during operation to be less tight, resulting in more intense friction at contact points. If the operating speed is too high, it can lead to permanent damage to the components due to excessive friction temperature or load at the contact points. Contents of the first car maintenance: Free oil and oil filter replacement is provided. Additionally, if users have other needs, they can ask the 4S store staff to conduct some relevant car inspections, but it's important to clearly check the cost of these services.

Why is the brake disc of my newly purchased car rusting?

The rusting of the brake disc on a newly purchased car mainly depends on the material of the brake disc. Currently, most household cars use brake discs made of gray cast iron 250 standard, which offers excellent braking performance but has a high carbon content and lacks surface rust protection, making rust inevitable. More details about brake discs are as follows: Function of brake discs: A brake disc is a circular disc that rotates as the car moves. The braking force is generated when the brake caliper clamps the brake disc, slowing down or stopping the vehicle when the brakes are applied. Brake discs provide effective braking performance and are easier to maintain compared to drum brakes. Types of brake discs: Braking systems include disc brakes, drum brakes, and air brakes. Older cars often feature front disc brakes and rear drum brakes, while many modern cars have disc brakes on both front and rear wheels. Disc brakes dissipate heat better than drum brakes, reducing the likelihood of heat fade during high-speed braking, thus offering superior high-speed braking performance. However, their braking efficiency is inferior to drum brakes during low-speed cold braking.

What does a car's load capacity of 5 mean?

The load capacity of the car is 5 (tons), and it can travel 75 (kilometers) per hour. Here is more information about cars: 1. According to the minimum standard of 375 kilograms, it can seat four people weighing 150 kilograms each and still have room for nearly 100 kilograms of cargo. 2. The hazards of overloading a car include the following: first, the braking distance will be longer. Second, the pressure on the tires and suspension is greater. Third, and most critical, the load-bearing chassis has limited capacity, which can easily cause permanent deformation of metal parts. 3. There is no calculation method for load capacity; it can only be determined based on the load capacity indicated on the nameplate attached to the car when it leaves the factory. The national standard is 375 kilograms, meaning the car's load capacity cannot be less than 375 kilograms.
