Here are the tips and rhymes for gear shifting in Subject 2: 1. Online: Drive the car straight forward, align the front of the car with the 7-meter line ahead, and slowly turn the steering wheel to the right until it's fully locked. When the left edge of the car aligns with the 7-meter line, turn the wheel one full turn to the left, prepare the brake, then turn another full turn to align the car with the 7-meter line and stop. 2. Close to the garage: Shift into reverse, release the brake, slowly lift the clutch to start the car moving slowly, and keep the clutch pressed. Look at the right rear window point aligning with the middle pole, turn the wheel to the right, and when the middle pole aligns with the left rear pole of the garage, turn the wheel fully to the right. When the right point of the rear windshield aligns with the middle pole, turn the wheel back two full turns to the right, hold the wheel at the 12 o'clock position, and look toward the middle to adjust the rear midpoint. Then, naturally look back at the lower right corner of the rear windshield, and when it aligns with the middle pole, press the clutch and brake to stop. 3. First up: As the car moves, quickly turn the wheel two full turns to the right, and when the left edge of the car aligns with the middle pole, turn the wheel fully to the left (left turn four full turns). When the right edge aligns with the middle pole (car straightens), turn the wheel back two full turns to the right, prepare to brake, and stop. 4. First down: As the car moves, turn the wheel two full turns to the right, and when the left edge aligns with the side pole, turn the wheel fully to the left. When the car straightens, turn the wheel back two full turns, stop without touching the rear pole, and the car should be halfway into the garage.

I remember my driving instructor always reciting the gear-shifting mantra: 'Depress the clutch fully for quick gear shift, release the clutch slowly while following with the throttle.' It means you must firmly press the clutch pedal before shifting gears, engaging the gear quickly and accurately; when releasing the clutch, do it gradually while gently pressing the throttle to coordinate, thus avoiding stalling or jerking. This mantra was especially helpful during the slope start in Subject 2 of the driving test, as I often practiced the feel of the half-engagement point—releasing the handbrake and accelerating immediately upon sensing the slightest vehicle movement, which reduced many mistakes during the exam. Even during daily maneuvers like reverse parking or right-angle turns, paying attention to gear selection is crucial to avoid mixing up forward and reverse gears. After simulating these actions several times, they become second nature. As seasoned drivers say, practice makes perfect.

Does 20% Engine Oil Need to Be Changed?

Whether 20% engine oil needs to be changed depends on the vehicle's mileage. Generally, engine oil should be replaced every 5,000-8,000 kilometers, but the specific interval should be determined based on the vehicle's condition. Below is relevant information about engine oil: 1. Function: Engine oil lubricates, cleans, cools, seals, reduces friction, prevents rust, and protects against corrosion in the engine. 2. Engine oil determines the engine's lifespan: The engine is the heart of a car, containing many metal surfaces that rub against each other at high speeds and in harsh environments, with operating temperatures reaching 400°C to 600°C. Under such extreme conditions, only qualified lubricating oil can reduce wear on engine components and extend their service life.

Which One is the Rear Brake Light?

Rear brake light is a red-colored lamp installed at the rear of the vehicle. When the brake is applied, the brake light will illuminate, emitting red light to alert vehicles behind, thereby helping to prevent rear-end collisions. Brake lights are categorized into: 1. Brake lights installed at both ends of the rear, which are part of the car's taillights, with one on each side; 2. High-mounted brake lights installed above the rear of the vehicle. The vehicle's lights include: 1. Headlights: Front-end lighting lamps divided into low beam and high beam; 2. Fog lights: Used in foggy conditions for better visibility, distinguished from other lights of the same color, located at both front and rear ends of the vehicle, with one on each side, not symmetrically; 3. Brake lights: Illuminate when braking, installed at the rear end of the vehicle.

Why is the fuel at International Energy gas stations cheaper?

China International Energy's fuel is cheaper primarily because it is a private enterprise. Here are the reasons why International Energy's fuel is cheaper: 1. Surviving in competition with the 'Big Three' oil companies: Currently, the domestic fuel market is largely monopolized by the 'Big Three' oil companies. For private gas stations to survive, they need to engage in price wars to stabilize sales and secure a certain market share. 2. Lower fuel processing costs: Private gas stations are more stringent in controlling production costs. Their fuel processing is not as refined as that of state-owned gas stations, leading to lower costs and consequently lower fuel prices. 3. Lower transportation costs: Private gas stations use a point-to-point fuel transportation method, directly transporting fuel from local refineries to the gas stations.
