When the examinee drives the test vehicle into the curve driving test area, there will be a voice prompt inside the car: 'Next test item: curve driving.' The test begins after hearing the instruction. The details are as follows: 1. Front of the car: Pay attention to the position of the front of the car when entering the curve. Try to keep the outer front tire of the vehicle close to the right edge line of the curve. Use the rearview mirror to judge the distance from the edge line to avoid crossing it. Proceed in first gear with semi-clutch engagement, and the speed can be slowed down but not stopped. During the vehicle's movement, observe the left and right rearview mirrors to control the distance from the edge line. 2. Left turn: Usually, the first curve is a left turn. Keep the vehicle as far to the right as possible. When the left corner of the car aligns with the right edge line, turn the steering wheel one circle to the left and make slight adjustments. When the left corner of the car and the right edge line are basically aligned, turn left to avoid crossing the line during the turn. 3. Right turn: After passing the left curve, prepare to turn right. When the left corner of the car gradually completes the right edge line of the left turn, and the right vertex of the hood touches the left edge line of the right turn, straighten the steering wheel.

Practicing curve driving, I just passed Subject 2 of the driving test. My biggest takeaway is to maintain slow and steady speed control—absolutely avoid sudden acceleration or deceleration. Slow down before entering the curve and maintain a constant speed with the clutch halfway engaged. Focus on aligning the car hood with the lines: when entering, aim the left front of the hood at the right line and steer accordingly; return the wheel after passing one-third of the left turn; similar for right turns. Make small adjustments to the steering—no need for forceful turns. Practice repeatedly to build muscle memory; find a few fixed reference points and practice a dozen times until it feels smooth. During the test, avoid staring at the rear mirror to check lines—it’s distracting. Stay focused on the hood and the road ahead, and you’ll pass effortlessly. In real driving, slow turns also help avoid risks—it really works.

What are the consequences of having 11 points deducted from a C-class license?

C1 driver's license with 11 points deducted has no significant impact, but it cannot reach 12 points. If you are in the probationary period and accumulate 12 points, your license will be directly revoked. Even if you are not in the probationary period, accumulating 12 points will result in your license being suspended, and you will need to undergo training to retrieve it. Below is an introduction to driver's license point deductions: 1. According to Article 68 of the 'Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses': If a motor vehicle driver accumulates 12 points within a scoring cycle, the traffic management department of the public security organ shall detain their motor vehicle driver's license. The driver must report to the traffic management department of the public security organ at the place where the license was issued or where the violation occurred within 15 days to participate in a seven-day study of road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge. 2. After the driver completes the study: The vehicle management office shall conduct an examination on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge within 20 days. If the examination is passed, the points will be cleared, and the driver's license will be returned. If the examination is not passed, the driver must continue studying and retake the examination. Refusal to participate in the study or examination will result in the traffic management department of the public security organ announcing the suspension of the driver's license.

How Should Compensation Be Handled When a Motor Vehicle Collides with an Over-standard Electric Vehicle?

When a motor vehicle collides with an over-standard electric vehicle, the compensation is primarily determined based on the accident scene conditions and the accident liability certificate issued by the traffic police. There is no inherent connection with whether the electric vehicle exceeds standards or is classified as a motor vehicle. If the motor vehicle is deemed responsible, the liability proportion cannot be reduced on the grounds that the electric vehicle is a non-motor vehicle during civil compensation. The liability division for motor vehicle traffic accidents is as follows: 1. Traffic accident liability ratio: For accidents between motor vehicles, the party at fault bears the traffic accident compensation liability. If both parties are at fault, the liability is shared according to their respective fault proportions: the party primarily responsible bears 70%; equally responsible parties bear 50%; the party secondarily responsible bears 30%. 2. Motor vehicle liability ratio: For accidents between motor vehicles and non-motor vehicles, or between motor vehicles and pedestrians, the motor vehicle party bears the liability for the portion exceeding the liability limit. However, if there is evidence that the non-motor vehicle driver or pedestrian violated traffic safety laws and regulations, and the motor vehicle driver has taken necessary measures, the motor vehicle party primarily responsible bears 80%; equally responsible bears 60%; secondarily responsible bears 40%; if the motor vehicle party is not at fault, it bears 10%.

What procedures are required to change driving instructors at a driving school?

Here is the relevant information: 1. Driving school enrollment: If you are changing instructors within the same driving school, there is no additional fee. You need the driving school's approval. If you encounter instructors with poor attitudes or unreasonable charges, you can retain relevant evidence and submit a written request to the driving school to change instructors. The request should include a header, the matter of the application, the reasons for the request, the desired processing date, the applicant's name, and the application date. Generally, calling the driving school's customer service will suffice. If negotiation fails, you can file a complaint by calling 12328 or report to the local traffic management department where the driving school is located. 2. Private enrollment: If you enrolled through a private instructor, you will need the original instructor's consent.

What should be paid attention to in Subject 2 of the driving test?

Here are the precautions for the Subject 2 test: 1. Photo requirements: There should be no items covering the face when taking photos, such as scarves, masks, hats, etc. 2. When getting in the car: Proactively show your ID card, adjust the seat, turn on the left turn signal, fasten the seat belt, release the handbrake, and enter the test area only after hearing that the identity verification is successful. 3. During the test: If the vehicle in front is reversing into the parking space, wait outside the arrow until the vehicle in front moves to the parallel parking area before starting the test. For parallel parking, align with the reference point in front, do not press on the solid lines on both sides, and maintain a distance of 20-50 cm between the right wheel and the parking line. For the curve driving, wait until the vehicle in front has exited before entering the test area, and wait outside the arrow if there is a vehicle in front. When starting on the slope, do not wait for the computer voice prompt, as the starting action must be completed within 30 seconds. Just do as you practiced normally, ensuring a smooth start without stalling or rolling back. For the right-angle turn, control the speed carefully and do not go too fast. Align with the reference point, straighten the direction, identify the reference point ahead, and quickly turn the steering wheel fully to the left.
