Scraping the car's chassis can affect the vehicle's lifespan and also pose a threat to driving safety. The chassis refers to the assembly composed of the transmission system, running system, steering system, and braking system, which is used to support and install the car's engine and its components, form the overall shape of the vehicle, bear the engine's power, and ensure normal driving. Causes of chassis damage: 1. Bottoming out or impact from foreign objects; the occurrence of bottoming out is uncertain, making it easy to damage parts of the chassis. 2. Corrosion and weathering; the chassis is frequently exposed to sun and rain, making it prone to corrosion and weathering.

Last time I accidentally drove over a large pothole and scraped the undercarriage, didn't pay much attention at the time. But within a few days, the car started smelling like oil, and upon inspection found the oil pan was scraped and leaking. If not discovered in time, the engine could have been ruined. Undercarriage scrapes are very dangerous, easily damaging protective plates and exposing vulnerable components. The exhaust system may also bend, affecting emissions. If the suspension is damaged, driving will feel shaky and unstable, increasing accident risks. It's recommended to crouch down and inspect underneath the car after any undercarriage scrape. If cracks or fluid leaks are found, go to a repair shop immediately - don't wait for small issues to become big problems. Also try to avoid raised road surfaces when driving normally.

How Long Does an Electric Motorcycle Battery Last?

The battery lifespan is generally around 300 full charge-discharge cycles. Battery lifespan is typically calculated based on the number of complete charge-discharge cycles, with the 300-cycle benchmark determined when the battery capacity drops to 75% of its nominal capacity. This is because users usually don't recharge when the battery is at 75% capacity, but rather when it's no longer usable, by which point the capacity has already declined to about 40% of its nominal level, indicating over-discharge. Below are some battery maintenance tips: Avoid storing the battery in a depleted state: A depleted state occurs when the battery isn't recharged promptly after use. In this state, sulfation is likely to occur, where lead sulfate crystals form on the plates, blocking ion channels and leading to insufficient charging and reduced battery capacity. The longer the battery remains idle in a depleted state, the more severe the damage. When the battery is not in use, it should be charged monthly to extend its lifespan. Regular inspections are essential: If the electric motorcycle's range suddenly drops by several kilometers in a short period, it's likely that at least one battery in the pack has issues like broken cells, plate softening, or active material shedding, which can cause short circuits. In such cases, promptly visit a professional battery repair facility for inspection, repair, or battery pack reconfiguration. Avoid high-current discharge: When starting, carrying passengers, or climbing hills, it's best to use pedal assistance to minimize sudden high-current discharge, which can lead to lead sulfate crystallization and damage the physical properties of the battery plates.

How Many Chances Are There for a Makeup Exam in Driving School Subject 1?

The "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses" clearly stipulate that on the day of the Subject 1 makeup exam, candidates can take the test twice. If the first attempt is unsuccessful, the second attempt is free of charge. If the second attempt is still unsuccessful, the Subject 1 exam is terminated, and the candidate can only schedule another exam after ten days. Subject 1, also known as the Subject 1 theory 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 other related knowledge. The test is conducted on a computer with a time limit of 45 minutes. A passing score for Subject 1 is 90 points, with 100 questions in total, consisting of single-choice and true/false questions, each worth 1 point, totaling 100 points. If a candidate answers 11 questions incorrectly during the exam, the system will automatically submit the test and end the exam. Subject 1 test content: Driving license and motor vehicle management regulations; Road traffic conditions and traffic rules; Road traffic safety violations and penalties; Road traffic accident handling regulations; Basic knowledge of motor vehicles; Local regulations; Knowledge of braking systems and safety devices for large and medium-sized passenger and freight vehicles; Specialized knowledge for wheeled self-propelled machinery, trams, and trolleybuses. Subject 1 exam precautions: Candidates should pay attention to their attire during the exam; no slippers are allowed, and electronic devices and bags are prohibited in the exam room. Bring your ID card and queue to enter the waiting hall. Observe the precautions and procedures on the large screen, and store personal belongings in a locker before entering the exam room. Upon entering, the identity verification station will assign a seat. After finding your seat, begin the exam. Ensure the camera is aligned with you and follow exam discipline. If you fail the first attempt, there is a makeup exam on the same day. If you fail again, you must pay to reschedule. After the exam, queue to collect your score report and sign it. Failure to sign will render the result invalid. There is no limit to the number of times you can schedule a Subject 1 exam. Each subject can be taken once, with one makeup exam allowed if the first attempt is unsuccessful. If you do not take the makeup exam or fail it, the exam is terminated, and the applicant must reschedule. For Subject 2 and Subject 3, there are only five exam attempts. Subject 2 and Subject 3 exams can be scheduled ten days later. If the Subject 3 safe driving knowledge test is unsuccessful, the passed road driving skills test results remain valid. There are three subjects in the driving test: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3. Subject 1 refers to the road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge test; Subject 2 refers to the field driving skills test; Subject 3 is divided into two parts: road driving skills and safe driving knowledge test. The safe 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 the term "Subject 4."

Is there a limit to the number of online cancellations for Subject 2?

The number of cancellations for driving test appointments must not exceed five times. The "Motor Vehicle Driving License Regulations" stipulate the following in Article 44: Each subject can be tested once, and if the test is failed, a make-up test can be taken once. If the make-up test is not taken or is still failed, the current test session is terminated, and the applicant must schedule a new test. Below is an introduction to Subject 2: Teaching objectives: Master the basic essentials of driving operations and possess the fundamental ability to control the vehicle; proficiently grasp the basic methods of driving on the field and within the premises, have the ability to reasonably use vehicle controls and correctly manage the spatial position of the vehicle, and accurately control the vehicle's position, speed, and route. Scope of the test: The test items for small vehicles C1 and C2 include five mandatory tests—reverse parking, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, right-angle turns, and curve driving (commonly known as S-curves). Some regions also include a sixth item, high-speed toll card collection.

Can Subject 2 be scheduled for two sessions simultaneously?

Subject 2 cannot be scheduled for two sessions at the same time. When two sessions are booked for the same day for the Subject 2 test, you don't need to take the test twice because only one session can be successfully scheduled, and it's not possible to successfully schedule two sessions. Booking two sessions on the same day is only to increase the success rate of scheduling. Below is relevant information about Subject 2: Teaching objectives: Master the basic driving operation essentials and possess the fundamental ability to control the vehicle; Proficiently master the basic methods of driving on the site and within the road, possess the ability to reasonably use vehicle control components and correctly control the spatial position of the vehicle movement, and be able to accurately control the vehicle's driving position, speed, and route. Project scope: The test items for cars C1 and C2 include five mandatory tests: reversing into a garage, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, turning at a right angle, and driving through curves (commonly known as S-curves) (some areas also have a sixth item: high-speed card collection).

What to Bring for the Subject 3 Driving Test?

For the Subject 3 driving test, you need to bring the original valid ID card or a valid temporary ID card. After successful online registration, you will receive an admission voucher, which is usually distributed by the driving school in advance or can be printed out beforehand. The content of Subject 3 includes: vehicle preparation, light simulation test, starting, driving in a straight line, gear shifting operations, changing lanes, pulling over, going straight through intersections, turning left at intersections, turning right at intersections, passing pedestrian crossings, passing school zones, passing bus stops, meeting oncoming vehicles, overtaking, making U-turns, and driving at night. Important notes for Subject 3: Before starting the test, walk around the vehicle counterclockwise to check its condition. This is a crucial step. After getting into the vehicle, adjust the seat position and rearview mirror angles, and fasten the seatbelt. Only after completing these steps can the test begin. Special attention: For passing school zones and bus stops, there will be no voice reminders. You must slow down and brake within 30 meters, but not too early. When performing operations such as starting, changing lanes, overtaking, turning, making U-turns, or pulling over, first turn on the turn signal and wait for 3 seconds before turning. After completing the pull-over, do not rush to exit the vehicle. Open the door, then close it, and wait for the voice announcement of your score before getting out. Don’t forget to close the door after exiting.

Which line should you stop on for precision parking?

Precision parking requires stopping at the optimal position where the middle of three white lines is located on the slope. The parking area has three lines: dashed line — solid line — dashed line. The requirement is for the front bumper to align with the middle solid line. Tips for precision parking: After getting in the car: Always adjust the seat properly, with your back against the seat and your wrists level with the steering wheel as the standard. Perform this check every time you enter the vehicle. Additionally, when driving uphill, keep your head fixed against the headrest before identifying your reference point. After fixing your head position: Use the left rearview mirror to locate the ground line, which marks the stopping point. Alternatively, use reference points like the right front pole, windshield wiper, B-pillar, or other markers. Once these references are established, always use them to determine your stopping point. When the right wiper aligns with the parking pole during precision parking, immediately press the clutch and brake. Some instructors may teach students to stop as soon as the slope's yellow line becomes fully visible in the left rearview mirror. However, methods vary by instructor, and reference points should ultimately follow the test site's regulations.
