Subject one memorization tips include: Two revocations, three cancellations, five drunk driving escapes result in lifetime ban; Always observe left and right before overtaking left; No parking within 50 meters of intersections, curves, narrow roads, tunnels, bridges, slopes or railroad crossings; Driver's license renewal within 90 days of expiration, changes must be reported within 30 days; Turning vehicles yield to straight-moving vehicles, vehicles from the right have right of way, right-turning vehicles yield to left-turning vehicles. Motor vehicles have no violations, only illegal acts; Traffic police hand signals take precedence over traffic lights. Other memorization methods for subject one: Prohibited actions: Must not, shall not, should not, cannot, strictly prohibited, immediately stop, must. Yielding to others: Slow down and yield, stop and yield, give way, slow down and avoid. Slow passing: Pass slowly, decelerate, steadily, gradually, pass slowly, reduce speed, descend at uniform speed. Need to observe: Observe in advance, observe carefully, observe attentively, keep a lookout. Ensure safety: Intermittent light braking, ensure safety, guarantee safety, pass safely.

When I was preparing for the written driving test, I made up some rhymes myself. For traffic police hand signals: 'The lane they face is the one they control, hand overhead means stop, hand waving at you means yield. Swinging arms left and right means turn, right hand moving up and down means slow down.' Remembering these can cut hand signal mistakes by half. For lighting rules: 'High beams straight and unobstructed, low beams light the road not the sky.' In rain or fog, turn on hazard lights plus fog lights. At crosswalks, foot must be on the brake to slow down whether people are present or not. And 'Right turn yields to left turn, turns yield to straight traffic, uphill yields to downhill' - this is the golden rule for right-of-way questions, works every time.

Our driving instructor taught us practical rhymes: Don't rush at yellow lights, and stomp on the brakes when the red light comes on. Take wide turns when turning left and tight turns when turning right; make U-turns from the leftmost lane. At a 'Stop' sign, you must come to a complete halt for three seconds; at a 'Yield' sign, slow down and look around. For speed limit questions, remember 'No sign means 30/40 in the city, follow the sign if there is one.' On highways, the leftmost lane is 110-120, the middle lane is 90-110, and never stop in the emergency lane. Overtake only from the left; no overtaking in tunnels or on curves. The parking distance rhyme is 'Five at intersections, three at stations,' meaning no parking within 50 meters of an intersection or 30 meters of a station.

Memorize the point deduction rules to save trouble: Drunk driving results in an immediate 12-point deduction, covering license plates costs 9 points, and running a red light starts at 6 points. Illegal parking on highways is 9 points, while on regular roads it's only 3 points. Speeding over 50% leads to 12 points, and 20%-50% is 6 points. Using a while driving is a definite 3 points, and not wearing a seatbelt is 1 point. If caught helping others evade points, both parties lose 12 points. A handy mnemonic: 12 points are for serious safety hazards, 9 points relate to license plates and documents, 6 points involve speed, 3 points are for driving norms, and 1 point is for minor faults.

Tips for reading traffic signs: Circular signs indicate prohibitions, triangular ones are warnings, blue squares give directions, and red means stop and yield. For yellow lines, observe the inner side—dashed lines can be crossed, but solid lines must not be straddled. Central yellow lines mark dividers, while white lines delineate lanes. Diamond-shaped signs warn of pedestrian crossings, and triangles indicate yield. Distance confirmation lines resemble zebra crossings but are not pedestrian paths. When multiple signs are mounted on a pole, follow the 'top-to-bottom' rule—the topmost sign applies to all conditions below. At night, switch to low beams when meeting vehicles within 150 meters, and avoid using high beams when following another car to prevent dazzling the driver ahead.

Use stories to remember confusing questions: For example, choose 'lightly press' for options involving braking, 'turn on hazard lights + move to the side + set up a warning sign' for stopping due to a malfunction, and 'hold the steering wheel firmly and avoid slamming the brakes' for a tire blowout. For yielding rules, imagine a crossroad: when you turn right, the car turning left from the opposite side is in a 'head-on collision' position and must be yielded to. Always yield to ambulances, fire trucks, and police cars on duty from any direction. There's also a 'three-light rhyme': when the straight green light is on, enter the left-turn waiting area; when the straight red light is on, left-turning vehicles must not cross the line. Remember the correct positions for fog lights in rainy or foggy weather: front fog lights are green, rear fog lights are yellow, and don't confuse them with high beams.
