The "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses" clearly stipulates the content of the Subject 1 exam: 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, mountainous roads, bridges, tunnels, nighttime, adverse weather, and complex road conditions; emergency handling knowledge for situations like tire blowouts, steering failure, and brake failure; general structure of motor vehicles, common knowledge of main safety devices, and basic knowledge of daily inspection 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 Driver's Licenses," the Subject 1 exam consists of 100 questions, divided into single-choice questions and true/false questions, with each question worth 1 point, totaling 100 points. If 11 questions are answered incorrectly during the exam, the system will automatically submit the test and end the exam. Subject 1, also known as the theoretical exam or driver's theory exam, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. The exam content includes driving theory basics, road safety laws and regulations, local regulations, and related knowledge. The exam is conducted on a computer with a time limit of 45 minutes. Notes for the Subject 1 exam: Candidates should pay attention to their attire, no slippers are allowed, electronic devices and bags are not permitted in the exam room, bring an ID card, and queue to enter the waiting hall. Observe the instructions 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 the seat, start the exam. Ensure the camera is aligned with you and follow exam discipline. If you fail the first time, there is a retake opportunity on the same day. If you fail again, you must pay to reschedule. After the exam, queue to collect the score report and sign it. Failure to sign will render the exam invalid. There is no limit to the number of times you can reschedule the Subject 1 exam. Each subject can be taken once, and if you fail, you can retake it once. If you do not attend the retake or fail the retake, the exam process ends, and you must reschedule. For Subject 2 and Subject 3, there are only five exam attempts. Subject 2 and Subject 3 exams can be rescheduled after ten days. If you fail the Subject 3 safe and civilized driving knowledge exam, the passed road driving skills exam results remain valid. There are three subjects in the driver's license exam: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3. Subject 1 refers to the exam on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge. Subject 2 refers to the field driving skills exam. Subject 3 is divided into two parts: road driving skills and safe and civilized driving knowledge. The safe and civilized driving knowledge exam 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.

A few days ago while preparing for my Subject 1 test, I noticed it mainly focuses on traffic rules, such as intersection right-of-way sequences, traffic signal meanings, and recognizing various road signs and markings like stop lines and overtaking zone indicators. Safety driving knowledge is also quite important, including methods to calculate safe following distances on highways and emergency handling procedures for brake failures or tire blowouts. The exam frequently includes scenario-based questions testing judgment on traffic violations and liability determination, such as drunk driving fines. These all require regular textbook review and practice exercises to reinforce. I believe memorizing these key points helps new drivers build solid foundations to avoid panic-induced mistakes on the road. After all, theory precedes practical skills - thorough mastery ensures easy test passage.

Looking back to when I took the written driving test (Subject 1), the main content covered all aspects of traffic regulations, from basic traffic light recognition to speed limit rules, with every detail requiring mastery. What impressed me most was the section on road signs, such as warning signs and prohibition signs, where the examiner might test you by showing pictures and asking you to explain their meanings. Safe driving also accounted for a significant portion, like how to maintain proper following distance and how to handle skidding on rainy or snowy roads – knowledge that proves highly useful in actual driving. The test also included legal provision questions about liability determination, such as pedestrian right-of-way. Through repeatedly practicing with app question banks, I became proficient at answering correctly. Overall, the test assessed the digestion and application of rules – don't underestimate it, as this is the essential stepping stone for beginners.

I've been learning to drive recently. The content of the subject one test is quite straightforward, covering core traffic rules such as traffic light control, the principle of yielding, and the identification of various road signs like turn indicators and speed limit signs. In terms of safety knowledge, it tests emergency responses, such as how to handle accidents, as well as basic mechanical knowledge, but the focus is on theoretical questions. Practicing with mock test papers can help you master it. Preparing isn't too difficult, but you need to memorize the details clearly.

Can Modified Wheel Size Pass the Annual Inspection?

Modifying wheels is a relatively conspicuous modification. If the wheel modification is not registered with the vehicle management office, it will not pass the annual inspection. Introduction to Wheels: Wheels are the rotating part of the tire's inner rim connected to the hub through spokes, which is the metal component mounted on the axle that supports the tire. Also known as rims, steel wheels, or simply wheels. Wheels come in various types based on diameter, width, forming method, and material. Types of Wheels: Depending on the characteristics and needs of different vehicle models, the surface treatment process of wheels also varies, mainly divided into painting and plating. For ordinary vehicle models, the appearance of wheels is less considered, with good heat dissipation being a basic requirement. The process mostly involves painting, which includes spraying followed by baking, making it cost-effective with vibrant colors that last long, even when the vehicle is scrapped. Many mass-market vehicle models use painted wheels. Some fashionable and dynamic colored wheels also employ painting technology.

What are the reasons for a car not starting with no power at all inside?

There are several reasons why a car may not start with no power at all inside: 1. Dead battery: This could be due to a drained battery from leaving headlights on for a long time or the battery reaching the end of its lifespan. It is generally recommended to replace the battery every 2 years. Additionally, installing xenon headlights, high-power audio systems, or DVD players can also cause vehicle circuit failures. 2. Incorrect gear position: For automatic transmission cars, the gear must be in P or N position when starting. If it is in R or D position, the car will not start. Some manual transmission cars may also not start if the clutch is not depressed. 3. Lack of antifreeze: Using water or low-quality antifreeze in the car can cause the engine to freeze and crack in extremely cold winter conditions, leading to the water pump failing to operate, the car not starting, and damage to other engine components.

How to Decelerate an Automatic Transmission Car?

To decelerate an automatic transmission car, release the accelerator pedal early and apply the brake. Below are detailed introductions to the gear positions of an automatic transmission vehicle: 1. The R gear is the reverse gear. When this gear is engaged, it connects the hydraulic system's reverse gear oil circuit, causing the drive wheels to rotate in reverse for backward movement. Never forcibly shift to the "R" gear when the vehicle hasn't come to a complete stop, as this may damage the transmission. 2. The N gear is the neutral gear. When neutral is engaged, the planetary gear system idles without power output. 3. The D gear is the drive gear. When the gearshift lever is in this position, the hydraulic control device automatically connects the corresponding forward gear oil circuit based on throttle opening signals and vehicle speed signals. It can automatically shift up or down according to driving speed changes, achieving automatic transmission functionality. 4. The P gear is the parking gear. It uses a mechanical device to lock the rotating parts of the vehicle's tires, preventing the car from moving.
