I just passed the Subject 2 driving test recently and realized there were quite a few point deductions. The most common mistakes in reverse parking were running over the line or not parking properly within the space, which cost 100 points immediately. During the slope parking test, if the bumper position exceeded 30cm, it would deduct 10 points. For parallel parking, going outside the lines or taking too long would result in deductions, while touching the line once during curve driving would cost 20 points, and hitting the line during a right-angle turn would mean an instant fail. Stalling or rolling back would deduct 10 points each, with the total score needing to stay above 80. I often stalled during practice, but eventually passed by practicing clutch control more. Actually, these rules simulate real driving risks—like touching the line representing potential collisions—to enhance safety awareness. During the test, staying calm, remembering the reference points taught by the instructor, and maintaining slow, steady speed helped reduce mistakes. Looking back, repeatedly practicing reverse parking and slope exercises was crucial—it built good habits for smoother driving later on.

After years of teaching driving students, I've found that the key deduction points in Subject 2 mainly focus on precise operations. For hill parking, the distance to the curb and front marker must be accurate - exceeding 30cm results in deductions. In reverse parking, touching boundary lines or stopping midway costs 100 points, often leading to failure. During parallel parking, the vehicle body mustn't exceed parking space lines, and in curve driving, crossing lines incurs severe penalties. Stalling or rolling back during start-up deducts 10 points each, but these can accumulate dangerously. These exercises test beginners' sensitivity to speed and steering control. During practice, I always remind students to simulate exam pressure scenarios without panicking. On test day, clearly identify reference points and maintain steady performance. These details relate directly to road safety - preventing reversing scrapes or hill rear-end collisions. Developing these habits brings lifelong benefits. Spending time perfecting fundamental operations proves more reliable than rushing advanced techniques.

As a new driver who just got my license, I need to be clear about the point deductions in Subject 2. Hitting the line during reverse parking results in a full 100-point deduction, while grazing the corner line is a minor but common mistake. Incorrect positioning during hill parking costs 10 points, same as stalling the engine. Exceeding the boundary during parallel parking leads to major deductions, and touching the lines during curve driving or right-angle turns each deducts 20 points. The passing score is 80, and excessive deductions mean immediate failure. During preparation, I used a mobile app for mock tests, memorizing key reference points like rearview mirror angles for reverse parking. Avoiding line contact and stalling relies on clutch control practice—no sudden acceleration. Maintain steady breathing during the test; don’t let anxiety take over—this calmness is crucial for real driving too. Details determine outcomes, so familiarize yourself with the test route beforehand to minimize uncertainty.

Does Using Air Conditioning in Summer Consume More Fuel?

Using air conditioning in summer does consume more fuel. Here is more information about car air conditioning systems: Classification of Car Air Conditioning: Generally, based on vehicle configurations, car air conditioning systems are mainly divided into manual air conditioning and automatic air conditioning. Adjusting the fan speed has no relation to the compressor. Once the air conditioning is turned on for cooling, the compressor operates at full speed continuously, so there is no concept of fuel-saving or not. As for adjusting the temperature in manual air conditioning, it merely mixes varying amounts of hot air with the cold air. In practical use, the interior temperature rarely reaches conditions that would allow the compressor to stop running. Simply put, this type of non-variable compressor runs at full speed continuously once activated and does not shut off, meaning even if the temperature is set higher, it will not save fuel. Differences in Car Air Conditioning: Typically, manual air conditioning systems are equipped with non-variable compressors. Automatic air conditioning systems can also use non-variable compressors, operating on the same principle as manual systems but with the addition of an automatic thermostat. This device can detect the difference between the interior temperature and the set temperature, automatically choosing to blow "pure cold air" or a "mix of cold and hot air" and setting the fan speed accordingly. Therefore, the set temperature has no relation to fuel efficiency; using the air conditioning will always consume more fuel.

How to Calculate the New Vehicle Registration Tax?

Here is an introduction about the new vehicle registration tax: 1. The calculation method for the purchase tax is: Price of the vehicle sales invoice ÷ 1.17 (VAT) × purchase tax percentage (7.5% this year) 2. = Amount of vehicle purchase tax. 2. The taxpayers for vehicle purchase tax are units and individuals who purchase (including buying, importing, self-producing, receiving as a gift, winning as a prize, or obtaining through other means and using personally) taxable vehicles. The taxable scope includes cars, motorcycles, electric vehicles, trailers, and agricultural transport vehicles, with a tax rate of 10%. 4. The calculation formula for the taxable amount is: Taxable amount = Taxable price × Tax rate. 5. Calculation for private vehicle tax rate: Taxable price = (Total payment to the seller for purchasing the taxable vehicle + additional fees) × 10%, where the taxable price does not include VAT. 6. Calculation for imported vehicle tax rate: Taxable price = (Customs duty-paid price + Customs duty + Consumption tax) × 10%

What is the ground clearance of the Sylphy?

The minimum ground clearance of the Sylphy is 165 millimeters. The minimum ground clearance of the Sylphy refers to the distance between the lowest point (excluding wheels) and the supporting plane, which indicates the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles such as rocks and tree stumps without collision. A higher ground clearance generally improves off-road capability, but if the Sylphy's ground clearance is too high, it may reduce stability during high-speed driving. The Sylphy is a compact car produced by Dongfeng Nissan. Its dimensions are 4631mm in length, 1760mm in width, and 1503mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2700mm and a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters. Generally, the ground clearance of sedans ranges between 110mm to 150mm, while SUVs typically have 200mm to 250mm. However, the Sylphy's ground clearance is not static; it varies depending on the load condition. Therefore, changes in ground clearance should be considered based on the vehicle's load variations. When selecting a vehicle, ground clearance can be one of the reference factors. The choice should depend on the vehicle's intended use and road conditions. For urban driving with well-paved roads, a lower ground clearance enhances stability and comfort. For frequent travel to remote areas or driving on rough terrains, a higher ground clearance is advisable to avoid undercarriage scraping or damage, considering the vehicle's off-road performance.

How many kilometers can you exceed the 80 km/h speed limit on the highway?

Exceeding 80 km/h in an 80 km/h speed limit zone is considered speeding. According to the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China": Article 42 Motor vehicles driving on the road shall not exceed the maximum speed indicated by speed limit signs. On road sections without speed limit signs, a safe speed shall be maintained. When driving at night or on road sections prone to danger, or under weather conditions such as sandstorms, hail, rain, snow, fog, or icy roads, the driving speed shall be reduced. Additional content on the dangers of speeding: 1. Impact on vehicle operating conditions Long-term speeding can lead to poor vehicle operating conditions, increasing the likelihood of tire, braking system, and steering system failures. Without regular maintenance and timely fault resolution, it can easily induce traffic accidents. 2. Increased risk of losing control and rollover during turns Speeding vehicles are often in a state of changing lanes and overtaking, each overtaking maneuver creating conflict points with surrounding vehicles, exacerbating safety hazards for both the speeding vehicle and others. If encountering obstacles or sharp turns, the vehicle is more prone to losing control or even rolling over, and the consequences of collisions can be more severe.

Why Do License Plates Fall Off When Wading Through Water?

When a vehicle drives on a waterlogged road, water hits the bumper and surges upward upon encountering resistance, eventually squeezing into the gap between the license plate and the bumper. This means the license plate is subjected to an outward pushing force. As the vehicle moves forward, the license plate also faces resistance from the water coming from the front. Under the pushing force, the license plate is pried outward, while under the resistance, it is pressed back toward the vehicle body. This repeated action causes a license plate secured with only two screws to sway back and forth and eventually fall off. Additional Information: 1. Number of License Plate Fasteners: According to the "Safety Technical Conditions for Motor Vehicle Operation," each license plate of a newly manufactured motor vehicle should have four installation holes. Metal license plates should be equipped with fasteners that meet the GA804 requirements, unless vehicle conditions prevent their installation. Special fasteners for motor vehicle license plates should be used, ensuring they are complete and securely installed. 2. Replacing a License Plate: Currently, the Municipal Vehicle Management Office and its branches have adopted a "one-window" service model. At any service window of the Municipal Vehicle Management Office and its branches, vehicle owners can complete the license plate replacement process by presenting their ID card. They can choose to pick up the new license plate in person or have it mailed to their home.
