The condition for upgrading from C1 to E license is that there should be no record of accumulating 12 penalty points in the current scoring cycle and the most recent scoring cycle before application. Below is a partial introduction from the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses": For those who already hold a motor vehicle driver's license and apply to add a permitted driving category, there should be no record of accumulating 12 penalty points in the current scoring cycle and the most recent scoring cycle before application. Upgrading from C1 to E license requires passing three examination subjects: the Traffic Safety Laws, Regulations, and Related Knowledge Test (Subject 1), the Field Driving Skills Test (Subject 2), and the Road Driving Skills Test (Subject 3). Passing standards for the examinations: Traffic Regulations and Related Knowledge (Subject 1) — Written test, full score is 100, 90 or above is passing. Field Driving (Subject 2) — On-site, actual vehicle. The minimum requirement is 80 points, below 80 is failing. Road Driving (Subject 3) — Highway or simulated field, actual vehicle. Full score is 100, must achieve 90 or above to pass.

What Does the Yellow P Light Indicate?

Yellow P light illumination indicates a fault stored in the parking brake or ABS system, requiring further inspection and confirmation. Additional details are as follows: 1. P light in the instrument cluster: Generally represents the vehicle's parking brake system, also known as the handbrake system. When the P light in the instrument cluster illuminates, it may appear in three different colors. The meaning varies slightly depending on the vehicle brand and the color of the P light. 2. Red P light illumination: Indicates that the parking brake system is engaged, meaning the handbrake is pulled tight. It appears as a red indicator in the instrument cluster, which is a normal condition and not a fault. If it illuminates or flashes alongside other warning lights, such as the ABS light, it indicates a system malfunction. 3. Green or blue P light illumination: Indicates that the AUTO-HOLD system (automatic parking brake) is functioning normally. The P light will illuminate to alert the driver when the system is active.

What is the Difference Between Glazing and Waxing?

There are differences between car waxing and glazing in terms of nature, method, etc. The specific details are as follows: Different Nature: Car glazing involves a multi-step process that forms a protective film on the car's paint surface, similar to the outer coating of ceramic products. Waxing creates a thin film through the application of wax, which serves to protect the exterior paint. Different Methods: Glazing uses a soft wool or sponge with a high-speed vibration and friction machine to forcefully penetrate glaze molecules into the car's surface and paint gaps, utilizing the glaze's unique permeability and adhesion. Waxing can be done manually or mechanically. It ensures the paint surface is evenly coated, followed by wiping and polishing. Different Effects: After car glazing, it can enhance glossiness and hardness. Waxing has waterproofing, anti-acid rain, and polishing effects, reducing the amount of water droplets adhering to the car body. Car wax can also prevent static electricity and dust.

What does the Subject 3 driving test include?

Subject 3 consists of a total of 16 items, specifically including: preparation before starting, starting off, driving straight, gear shifting operation, changing lanes, going straight through intersections, passing crosswalks, passing bus stops, passing school zones, turning left at intersections, turning right at intersections, meeting oncoming vehicles, overtaking, making U-turns, pulling over, and nighttime driving. The following are precautions for the Subject 3 test: 1. If a candidate's fingerprint verification fails, they must exit the vehicle to re-collect their fingerprint before queuing again for the test. 2. If a candidate's score falls below the passing mark during the test, the system will automatically prompt the candidate to pull over. After completing the pull-over action, the system will prompt for the next test. 3. After the candidate completes all required test items and travels a distance of more than 3 kilometers, the system will automatically prompt to pull over. Upon hearing the pull-over instruction, the candidate should choose a clear curb (or solid road edge line) along the test route and complete the pull-over action after confirming safety. After pulling over, the system will announce the test result via voice. 4. When walking around the vehicle to inspect its appearance and surrounding environment, to ensure the accuracy of radar signal detection, maintain a distance of within 1 meter between the person and the vehicle body.

How long after passing Subject 1 can you take the Subject 2 test?

According to Article 40 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses", for first-time applicants or those applying to add a permitted vehicle type, the applicant must meet the following requirements when scheduling the Subject 2 test: For small cars, small automatic transmission cars, low-speed trucks, three-wheeled cars, small automatic transmission passenger cars for the disabled, wheeled self-propelled machinery, trolleybuses, and tram permitted vehicle types, the test can be scheduled 10 days after obtaining the learning driving certificate. For large buses, tractors, city buses, medium-sized buses, and large truck permitted vehicle types, the test can be scheduled 20 days after obtaining the learning driving certificate. Each Subject 2 test appointment includes 2 attempts. If the first attempt fails, a free retake is allowed. If the retake is not taken or still fails, the test session ends, and a new Subject 2 test can be scheduled after 10 days. Within the validity period of the learning driving certificate, the number of Subject 2 test appointments must not exceed 5. If the fifth attempt still fails, the results of other passed subjects will be invalidated. To continue learning, the applicant must restart from Subject 1. Subject 2 test content: Driving a motor vehicle to complete test items in a designated area; mastery of motor vehicle driving skills; ability to judge the spatial position of the vehicle. Subject 2 is also known as the small road test and includes five mandatory items: reverse parking, parallel parking, hill start, right-angle turn, and curve driving. Subject 2 test precautions: After getting in the car, adjust the seat and mirrors to a suitable position and state, and always fasten the seatbelt. For parallel parking, find the correct angle, turn the steering wheel quickly, react promptly, and coordinate with the car's speed. For hill starts, remember to engage the handbrake, turn on the left turn signal when starting, release the handbrake, stabilize the clutch, and gradually release the clutch while pressing the accelerator to avoid stalling or rolling back. For right-angle turns, locate the point quickly and turn in coordination with the car's speed to avoid deviation. For curve driving (S-turn), slow down and proceed carefully. Those with good driving sense during practice may pass quickly in one go. For reverse parking, control the speed, identify reference points, and make minor adjustments if deviations are observed in the mirrors. The driving test consists of 3 subjects: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3. Subject 1 refers to the test on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge. Subject 2 refers to the field driving skills test. 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 "Subject 4."

Can ETC only be used for one vehicle?

ETC can be used for multiple vehicles with one card. According to the "Rules for the Use of Non-Stop Express Passage Systems," when applying for an ETC card, you need to fill out the "ETC Service Deduction Authorization Form." When specifying the vehicles for payment binding, multiple vehicles can be listed. This means there is no limit to the number of vehicles that can be bound to a single ETC card for payment purposes. ETC is a non-stop electronic toll collection system, also known as an automatic road payment system. It is a specialized method for toll roads, commonly seen on highways, toll bridges or tunnels, and certain urban road sections to alleviate traffic congestion. ETC Deduction Principle: Highways have one or more ETC lanes. Communication between the vehicle-mounted electronic tag installed on the windshield and the microwave antenna in the ETC lane enables automatic toll deduction through computer network technology and bank settlements. This allows vehicles to pass toll stations without stopping, operating on a "pass first, deduct later" principle. Benefits of Installing ETC: Time-saving: Eliminates the hassle of waiting in queues; Green and eco-friendly: Reduces noise and exhaust emissions by avoiding stops at toll booths; Cost-saving: Minimizes vehicle wear and fuel consumption by reducing frequent starts and stops; Efficiency improvement: ETC lanes can theoretically increase traffic efficiency by 2-3 times, making traditional ETC faster and more advanced. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous. More Policy Support: The State Council's "13th Five-Year Plan for the Development of a Modern Integrated Transportation System" explicitly states the goal of "achieving interoperability of transport cards in key city clusters by 2020 and significantly increasing the adoption rate of ETC in vehicles." It also sets a target of "50% ETC usage rate for road passenger vehicles by 2020." Future Possibilities: Beyond improving the convenience of ETC installation and usage rates for passenger vehicles, future efforts will promote ETC adoption for trucks and explore deeper integration of ETC systems with vehicle-to-vehicle communication, vehicle-to-infrastructure coordination, and other smart transportation developments. This will provide comprehensive travel services for vehicle owners, expanding ETC applications to more scenarios.

Can You Wear a Hat for the Subject 1 Test?

There are no explicit regulations, but avoid wearing clothing such as tank tops, vests, slippers, etc., otherwise entry to the examination hall will be prohibited. If wearing items like hats, masks, or scarves that cover the face, you may enter the examination hall after removing them. Notes for the Subject 1 test: Candidates should pay attention to their attire; slippers are not allowed, electronic devices and bags are prohibited in the examination hall, bring your ID card, and queue to enter the waiting hall. Observe the notes and procedures on the large screen, and store personal belongings in lockers before entering the examination hall. Upon entering, seats will be assigned at the identity verification point. After finding your seat, the test begins. Ensure the camera is aligned with you and adhere to exam discipline. If you fail the first attempt, a retake is available the same day. Failing again requires payment to reschedule. After completion, queue to collect your scorecard and sign it; unsigned scorecards are considered invalid. The "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses" clearly stipulate that the Subject 1 test can be taken twice on the same day. If you fail the first attempt, a free retake is available for the second attempt. If you fail the second attempt, the Subject 1 test is terminated, and you can only reschedule the test after ten days. Subject 1, also known as the theoretical driving test or driver's 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 related knowledge. The Subject 1 test consists of 100 questions, divided into single-choice and true/false questions, each worth 1 point, totaling 100 points. If you answer 11 questions incorrectly during the test, the system will automatically submit the test and end the exam. The Subject 1 test is computer-based. The test duration is limited to 45 minutes. Subject 1 test content includes: driving license and motor vehicle management regulations; road traffic conditions and regulations; road traffic safety violations and penalties; road traffic accident handling regulations; basic motor vehicle knowledge; 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. There is no limit to the number of times you can reschedule the Subject 1 test. Each subject can be taken once, and if you fail, a retake is available. If you do not take the retake or fail the retake, the test is terminated, and the applicant must reschedule. For Subject 2 and Subject 3, there are only five test attempts. Subject 2 and Subject 3 tests can be rescheduled after ten days. If you fail the Subject 3 safety 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 test; Subject 2 refers to the field driving skills test; Subject 3 is divided into two parts: road driving skills and safety and civilized driving knowledge test. The safety 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 Subject 4.
