Parallel parking tips are as follows: Start the car in low gear, and turn the steering wheel to the right when the driver aligns with the third reference point. When the car moves to the position where the front of the car is between the third and fourth reference points, quickly turn the steering wheel to the left to steer the front of the car toward the left side of the road. When the front of the car approaches the left edge of the road, quickly turn the steering wheel back and stop immediately. Shift the car into reverse gear and back up. When the rear of the car approaches the right edge of the parking space (garage), quickly turn the steering wheel to the left to the limit position. When both sides of the car body are parallel to the edge of the parking space (garage), quickly straighten the steering wheel and stop. Precautions: Maintain an upright sitting posture, as this is crucial for accurately judging each reference point; when entering the parking area, try to park as close to the right side of the road as possible, but do not touch the yellow right edge line to avoid backing too far and crossing the line. The full score for Subject 2 is 100 points, with evaluation criteria set for failing, deducting 20 points, deducting 10 points, and deducting 5 points. The test is passed if the following conditions are met: ① For applicants of large passenger vehicles, tractors, city buses, medium-sized passenger vehicles, and large trucks, a score of 90 or above is required; ② For other types of vehicles, a score of 80 or above is required.

I took the parallel parking test in Subject 2 several times before realizing technique is crucial. First, control the speed – slow but not too slow to avoid stalling; use the clutch to maintain a walking pace. Second, find the right reference points: when reversing, turn the steering wheel quickly once the corner of the parking space aligns with the rear corner of your car in the right mirror, then straighten. Third, observe your surroundings frequently using mirrors to avoid crossing lines or hitting walls. Mentally, stay calm—take deep breaths before moving; simulate the test multiple times beforehand to familiarize yourself with the space and car feel. Safety is non-negotiable—adjust seats and mirrors optimally, and go slower in poor lighting. Practice often with poles to memorize every reference point, making the test effortless. Finally, bring candy for energy to stay sharp.

The parallel parking test isn't actually difficult, the key is maintaining steady speed. Keep the vehicle moving at a constant pace without sudden acceleration or deceleration, as this makes steering adjustments easier. Turn the steering wheel decisively and accurately - when you see the entry point, rotate quickly without hesitation, then straighten promptly. Frequently check the left rearview mirror to confirm the car's position, ensuring you don't touch the boundary lines. Stay relaxed as if it's regular practice; nervousness increases mistakes. Practice mock tests regularly while paying attention to details each time. For safety, adjust mirror angles to eliminate blind spots, and don't compromise safety for speed during the test. Bring water to stay hydrated, but avoid excessive drinking to prevent bathroom breaks. Finally, remember to analyze mistakes and learn from them to pass smoothly.

Maintain a steady speed and avoid sudden acceleration or deceleration. When reversing, align with the reference points and turn the steering wheel promptly when the corner of the garage is in sight. Stay calm, as nervousness can lead to mistakes. Frequently check your position using the rearview mirrors. Regular practice will help you master the techniques. Before the test, ensure the vehicle settings are safe. Take your time when reversing—there's no need to rush.

For the Subject 2 parallel parking test, I believe the key to passing lies in mindset and basic skills. First, stabilize the vehicle speed by using a low gear for steady movement; when reversing, accurately identify the reference points, such as turning the steering wheel once the corner of the parking space appears in the rearview mirror. Mentally, don't fear failure—take deep breaths and relax your body. Pay attention to safety by adjusting the rearview mirrors and carefully monitoring the side distance. Practice multiple times before the test to familiarize yourself with the vehicle's response. Don't let nervousness affect your performance.

Will points be deducted for not wearing a helmet on the back seat of a motorcycle?

Not wearing a helmet on the back seat of a motorcycle will not result in point deductions, but it may incur varying amounts of fines. Below is relevant information about motorcycle riding: Safety helmets: When riding a motorcycle, it is mandatory to wear a helmet. If caught by traffic police without one, you will be fined, and safety cannot be guaranteed. Since most motorcycle riders are young people who tend to ride at high speeds, wearing a helmet can reduce the severity of injuries in accidents. Slow-speed riding: When riding a motorcycle, it is crucial not to exceed the speed limit. Many motorcycle accidents occur due to speeding, so for safety reasons, always ride slowly and avoid speeding.

Is It Meaningful to Upgrade from 16-inch to 17-inch Wheels?

Upgrading from 16-inch to 17-inch wheels doesn't hold much significance, as the difference in wheel size is minimal and has little impact on the car's performance. Below is relevant information about car wheels: Concept: The wheel hub is the rotating part of the wheel steel inside the tire connected by columns, which is the metal component mounted on the axle that supports the center of the tire. It is also called the rim, steel ring, or wheel disc. Wheel hubs come in various types based on diameter, width, forming method, and material. Size: Wheel size essentially refers to the diameter of the wheel. Common terms like 15-inch or 16-inch wheels refer to the wheel's size (diameter). Generally, in passenger cars, larger wheel sizes with higher tire aspect ratios can create a visually appealing tension effect and improve the vehicle's handling stability. However, this comes with the additional issue of increased fuel consumption.

What does car range mean?

Car range refers to the maximum distance that can be traveled with the remaining fuel in the tank at an economical speed, mainly calculated automatically by the car's computer based on the current fuel consumption. Below is a related introduction to car mileage: Introduction: The car odometer indicates the speed of the car, with the unit being km/h (kilometers per hour). It consists of two meters: one is the speedometer, and the other is the odometer. It is generally located directly in front of the driver's position. Identification methods can include determining by the degree of wear and tear or checking the vehicle's maintenance records at a 4S shop. Principle: Traditional speedometers are mechanical. A typical mechanical odometer is connected to a flexible shaft, which contains a steel cable. The other end of the flexible shaft is connected to a gear in the transmission. The rotation of the gear drives the steel cable to rotate, which in turn drives a magnet inside the odometer's cover ring to rotate. The cover ring is connected to the pointer and keeps the pointer at zero position via a hairspring. The speed of the magnet's rotation causes changes in the size of the magnetic field lines, disrupting the balance and thus moving the pointer.

What Causes Small Cracks on the Edge of Tires?

The reason for small cracks on the edge of tires is natural aging of the tire. If there are numerous small cracks and their depth is close to damaging the tire body, the tire should be replaced promptly. Tires are rubber products and will naturally age due to environmental factors and usage. Their normal service life is approximately 4-5 years. As the tire body continuously undergoes bending and deformation, small cracks will naturally form. Over time, the safety factor will decrease, and failure to replace the tire in time may lead to accidents such as blowouts. Generally, it is recommended to rotate the tires every 10,000 kilometers to evenly distribute tire fatigue, prevent uneven wear, and extend tire life. Avoid rapid acceleration, emergency braking, or sharp turns; avoid hitting curbs; avoid parking on curbs; avoid driving quickly on unpaved roads. It is advisable to check the four-wheel alignment every 20,000 kilometers to reduce abnormal tire wear caused by changes in four-wheel alignment parameters. After overloading the vehicle or driving on rough roads, have it inspected at an authorized service center to avoid abnormal tire wear due to changes in four-wheel alignment parameters. Regularly check tire pressure, as both overinflation and underinflation can lead to abnormal tire wear, shorten the tire's normal lifespan, increase fuel consumption, and raise the risk of blowouts at high speeds.
