There is no fixed proportion of question types in the driving license subject 1 exam, as the questions appear randomly. The exam consists of 100 questions, each worth 1 point. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," each question is worth 1 point, totaling 100 points. If 11 questions are answered incorrectly during the exam, the system will automatically submit the paper and end the test. Subject 1, also known as the theoretical exam or driver theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driving license assessment. The exam content includes the theoretical basis of driving, road safety laws and regulations, local regulations, and related knowledge. The exam is conducted on a computer with a time limit of 45 minutes. The content of the subject 1 exam includes: regulations on driving licenses and motor vehicle management; road traffic conditions and regulations; road traffic safety violations and penalties; regulations on road traffic accident handling; 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. Exam precautions for subject 1: Candidates should pay attention to their attire and are not allowed to wear slippers. Electronic devices and bags are not permitted 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 exam room, 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, a retake is available on the same day. If you fail again, you will need to pay and reschedule. After the exam, queue to collect your score sheet and sign it. Failure to sign will render the result invalid. There is no limit to the number of times you can schedule the subject 1 exam. Each subject can be taken once, with one retake allowed if you fail. If you do not take the retake or fail the retake, the exam process ends, and you must reschedule. For subjects 2 and 3, there are only five exam attempts. Subjects 2 and 3 can be rescheduled after ten days. If you fail the subject 3 safe and civilized driving knowledge test, the passed road driving skills test results remain valid. The driving test consists of three subjects: subject 1, subject 2, and subject 3. Subject 1 refers to the road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge exam. 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 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."

I recently passed the written test for my driver's license, which had three types of questions: multiple-choice, true/false, and multiple-answer questions. Most multiple-choice questions were single-select, picking one correct answer out of four options. True/false questions were straightforward—right or wrong. Multiple-answer questions were slightly more challenging, requiring all correct options to be selected. The total score was 100 points, with each question worth 1 point, and a passing grade required 90 points or above. The test was computer-based, with ample time—about 45 minutes to complete 100 questions. The content covered traffic rules, road sign recognition, and safe driving practices. During my preparation, I downloaded an app and practiced daily, especially focusing on multiple-answer questions, which were prone to missed selections. I recommend reviewing speed limit rules and accident handling procedures in detail. This knowledge isn’t just for the test—it’s crucial for actual driving. The question design was practical, and studying it genuinely helps with everyday driving.

Why won't the BMW door latch spring back?

The reason why the BMW door latch won't spring back is due to misalignment of the latch position, requiring adjustment of the positional relationship between the latch and the catch ring. Rusty and stuck door hinges: The door provides access for the driver and passengers and isolates external interference, to some extent reducing side impacts and protecting occupants. If the hinges are rusty and stuck, it will make the door difficult to open. The solution is to lubricate the door hinges. Rusty and stuck door limiter: The quality of a door is mainly reflected in its anti-collision performance, sealing performance, and ease of opening and closing. A rusty and stuck door limiter will make the door difficult to open.

Should the Volkswagen Tharu use 92 or 95 gasoline?

Volkswagen Tharu requires a minimum of 95 gasoline. Definition of 95 gasoline: 95 gasoline consists of 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane. High-compression engines can also use low-octane gasoline, but you should not blindly choose the gasoline grade based on the compression ratio. Instead, follow the manufacturer's requirements for refueling. Difference between 95 and 92 gasoline: The main difference lies in the octane rating; there is no other essential difference. 95 gasoline is composed of 5% n-heptane and 95% isooctane, while 92 gasoline consists of 8% n-heptane and 92% isooctane. 95 gasoline has a higher octane rating than 92 gasoline. In terms of stability, 95 gasoline burns more easily and delivers greater power output compared to 92 gasoline.

Is it serious when the EPC light is on in a JAC?

The EPC light being on in a JAC is serious. In fact, when the EPC light in a car is on, it means the vehicle's malfunction indicator light is illuminated, indicating an abnormality in the engine's power control system. This is usually due to a dirty throttle body, which should be cleaned in such cases. Another possible reason is that the brake lights are not working, requiring a visit to a specialized repair shop to check for any brake system faults. Clutch Damage: It could also be due to clutch damage, a situation more common in manual transmission vehicles. Similar to brake failure, if there's an issue with the brakes, the clutch may also show abnormalities. EPC Indicator Light: Also known as the engine management system malfunction light. In the past, drivers would control the accelerator pedal based on the engine's power demand. This pedal would control the throttle via a cable. In the EPC system, the traditional cable is replaced by a pedal sensor. The ECU uses this device to receive position feedback data, performs precise calculations to determine the optimal throttle opening, and then sends a signal to the throttle, driving the motor to rotate the throttle to an appropriate angle.

What is the optimal remaining battery level for charging the BYD Han EV?

BYD Han EV is best charged when the remaining battery level is around 30%. Charging Time: Car owners should be aware of the correct charging time. Pure electric vehicles take longer to replenish energy. Taking the JAC iEV6E Sport model as an example, if using a home charging station, it takes nearly 8 hours to fully charge the battery. Using a fast charging station takes about 40 minutes to reach 80% charge. It's advisable to develop a habit of frequent charging and not wait until the battery level is too low. Avoid Overcharging and Over-discharging the Battery: Both overcharging and over-discharging can reduce the battery's lifespan. Any product that uses a battery should avoid "over-discharging," and pure electric vehicles are no exception. Although battery packs are designed with protection systems, frequently driving the car until the "red light" comes on will definitely affect the battery pack's lifespan. Additionally, charging should be stopped immediately once the battery is fully charged.

What type of engine oil is suitable for the Honda Lingpai 1.0t?

Honda Lingpai 1.0t is better suited for 0W20 or 5W30 engine oil. Engine oil selection: When choosing engine oil, it's not about selecting the most expensive one, but rather about choosing the right oil based on your car engine's characteristics and your usual driving habits. You can categorize your choice by the oil used in winter and the oil used in summer. For winter, the primary consideration is the low-temperature viscosity grade, while in summer, due to higher temperatures, you don't need to prioritize oils with excellent low-temperature viscosity grades. Engine oil grades: Engine oil grades are classified by quality and viscosity grades. Oils for gasoline engines are usually denoted by the letter "S," while oils for diesel engines are typically marked with the letter "C."
