Subject 1 point deduction question techniques are as follows: Look at the ending: When encountering point deduction questions in Subject 1, you need to look at what is being asked at the end of the question. Just look at the last few words of the question. If there is "how many points," choose the option with "12." The simplest way to remember is to directly choose "12" when you see it. Look at the score: If "how many points" appears, choose "6" points. True or false questions: If the number "12" appears in a true or false question, directly choose "true." If it's not the number "12," directly choose "false." However, there are 3 exceptions. Except for questions involving "running a red light, not yielding to school buses, and occupying the emergency lane," which are correct with "6 points," all other questions without "12 points" should be marked as false.

Tips for handling point-deduction questions in the driving license test's Subject 1, I think we can start with learning resources. When I was preparing, I mainly used question-practice apps like 'Driving Test Treasure', setting a daily goal of doing dozens of questions. For point-deduction questions, it's essential to categorize and memorize common scenarios: running a red light deducts 6 points, drunk driving deducts 12 points, etc. Don't just memorize mechanically; understanding through real traffic cases is more profound, such as speeding on a highway where exceeding 140 km/h in a 120 km/h zone deducts 6 points. Review wrong questions frequently, and pay attention to the latest regulation updates on the app to avoid using outdated materials. Maintain a regular study routine instead of cramming before the test, which keeps the mind clearer and reduces nervous mistakes during the exam.

From a memory perspective, the trick I used to pass the written driving test was creating mnemonics and relating them to real-life situations. With so many point-deduction rules, it's easy to get confused, so I used simple associations: 'Running a red light costs 6 points, drunk driving 12, speeding over half means you're done,' meaning speeding over 50% results in a 12-point deduction. Every night before bed, I'd recall the questions I reviewed that day and connect them to traffic violations I'd seen while driving, reinforcing my memory. The key is not to rely on rote memorization—understand why drunk driving carries such heavy penalties, because it endangers public safety. Once you grasp the reasoning, it's harder to forget. I recommend regularly reading real-life cases of point deductions in traffic news to create vivid mental images.

In terms of exam strategy, I prefer tackling point-deduction questions by category. Don't start with the hardest questions right away during the test—first skim through all questions, mark the point-deduction ones, and then focus on answering them. Make sure to understand the details of each question: for example, distinguish between speeding penalties on highways versus regular roads. When practicing with mock tests, strictly control your time, leaving five to ten minutes to review key questions. Maintain a steady mindset—if you make a mistake, don't dwell on it; skip it immediately and come back to correct it later.

What is the speed limit for driving on highways in foggy weather?

When visibility on the highway is less than 200 meters, maintain a distance of more than 100 meters from the vehicle in front in the same lane. The speed should not exceed 60 kilometers per hour, and fog lights, low beams, outline markers, and front and rear position lights should be turned on. Here are additional details: 1. Less than 100 meters: When visibility is less than 100 meters, turn on fog lights, low beams, outline markers, front and rear position lights, and hazard warning flashers. The speed should not exceed 40 kilometers per hour, and maintain a distance of more than 50 meters from the vehicle in front in the same lane. 2. Less than 50 meters: When visibility is less than 50 meters, turn on fog lights, low beams, outline markers, front and rear position lights, and hazard warning flashers.

Is it serious to help others handle non-point-deducting traffic violations?

According to relevant regulations, impersonating others to handle traffic violations will result in detention and fines. To process vehicle violations, the vehicle does not need to be present, and it can be handled by an agent, but the agent must present their identification documents. Below is additional information: 1. Point deduction: A maximum of three driver's licenses can be used to deduct points for one vehicle, and the ID card of the person caught must be presented during the point deduction process. If it is discovered that someone is substituting for others to deduct points for profit, their driver's license will be suspended for six months, and they will be fined. 2. Precautions: For any driver who, within one year, deducts points for more than three different license plate vehicles not owned by themselves, or if more than three drivers handle violations for the same license plate vehicle, they will be included in a key suspect list for substitution processing. Traffic violation processing services will be suspended, and investigations will be conducted into suspected substitution handling behaviors.

What does highway surrogate driving mean?

Highway surrogate driving is another type of chauffeur service, only differing in the routes taken. Below are some highway driving tips: 1. Understand relevant regulations: The leftmost lane is a temporary overtaking lane and should not be occupied for long periods. The third lane is generally for large vehicles, so maintaining distance is crucial. The far right is the emergency lane, typically used for rescue operations; non-emergency vehicles should not occupy it. 2. Stay focused: Maintain 100% concentration, keep your vision far ahead, and maintain a safe distance. 3. Make slight steering adjustments: When driving on the highway, avoid large steering movements. Hold the steering wheel firmly and make only minor adjustments when avoiding obstacles. 4. Change one lane at a time: At high speeds, it's easier for novice drivers to misjudge vehicles behind them. Changing two lanes consecutively takes longer and increases the risk of rear-end collisions.

What happens if you start the car without shifting to neutral?

Neutral parking mainly depends on whether it's an automatic or manual transmission. Manual transmission vehicles are not affected. The consequences of parking an automatic transmission car in neutral and the correct method for parking and turning off the engine are as follows: 1. Neutral prerequisite: Turning off the engine in neutral is not a problem for the car. The engine can only be turned off in N (neutral) or P (park) gear. Turning off the engine in D (drive) or R (reverse) gear can damage the transmission. The prerequisite for neutral is to ensure the car is on a flat surface to prevent rolling. 2. Correct method for parking and turning off the engine: Shift from the driving gear to N gear, stay in N gear for 0.5-1 second, then directly push to P gear, and then apply the handbrake. 3. Gear shifting: This operation ensures that the gear is not switched twice in a row during shifting. The action should be smooth. Each gear has a notch, and although you pass through R gear, you are not actually shifting to R gear.

Subject 3 starting actions do not necessarily have to be performed in sequence, as long as no actions are omitted. Below are the relevant deductions for the Subject 3 exam: 1. Deduction standards for pre-start preparation: Failing to walk around the vehicle to inspect its appearance and surrounding environment results in disqualification; Failing to observe traffic conditions behind before opening the door results in disqualification. 2. Deduction standards for starting: Starting with insufficient brake air pressure results in disqualification; Starting with the door not fully closed results in disqualification; Before starting, failing to observe the interior and exterior rearview mirrors or turning the head to check traffic conditions behind results in disqualification; Starting the engine with the gearshift lever not in neutral (parking gear) results in disqualification; Starting without releasing the parking brake and failing to correct it promptly results in disqualification; Starting without releasing the parking brake but correcting it promptly deducts 10 points; Failing to release the starter switch promptly after the engine starts deducts 10 points; Failing to use the horn appropriately when starting in complex traffic conditions deducts 5 points; Vehicle jerking during starting deducts 5 points; Improper control of the accelerator pedal during starting, causing excessively high engine speed, deducts 5 points.
