Four stars represent the Venucia automobile brand, which is a subsidiary of Dongfeng Motors. Taking the Venucia D60 manual comfort edition as an example, it is a compact 4-door 5-seater sedan with body dimensions of 4756mm in length, 1803mm in width, and 1487mm in height, featuring a 2700mm wheelbase and a 50-liter fuel tank capacity. The Venucia D60 manual comfort edition is equipped with a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine paired with a 5-speed manual transmission, delivering a maximum power output of 93 kilowatts and peak torque of 168 Newton-meters. It adopts front-wheel drive configuration, with MacPherson strut independent suspension at the front and torsion beam non-independent suspension at the rear.

As an ordinary car owner who frequently helps friends choose vehicles, I'm quite familiar with automotive safety matters. 'Four stars' refers to a car's rating in crash tests, such as the Euro NCAP testing system in Europe, which simulates accidents to score vehicles. Four stars indicate good safety performance but not top-tier. Many people around me have driven such cars, like the Honda Accord or Toyota Camry—common mid-size family cars that often receive this rating. While not the highest five-star rating, it shows the vehicle performs well in protecting passengers, such as reducing injury and fatality risks in crashes. I always advise friends to check official test results before buying a car—safety should come first, not just looks or price while overlooking essential protection.

As a father of two, I place greater emphasis on the safety of family outings. 'Four-star' cars actually refer to models that have received a four-star rating in safety crash tests, such as mainstream SUVs like the Nissan X-Trail or sedans like the Volkswagen Passat, which often achieve this rating. I find this level quite reliable, as it indicates solid performance in protecting child seats or rear passengers, giving me peace of mind every time I take the kids out. I regularly check the NCAP website to compare data and have found that while four-star cars may not be as comprehensive as some luxury models with five stars, they are affordable and practical, making them ideal for ordinary families like ours. Spending some time researching can help avoid many potential risks.

I'm a practical person who often helps others choose cars. 'Four stars' in the automotive industry refers to a four-star safety crash test rating, with models like the Ford Focus or Hyundai Elantra often receiving this evaluation. It indicates good safety performance, although three stars might be slightly weaker and five stars are better. I recommend choosing a four-star car when on a budget, as it offers high cost-performance and ensures basic driving safety.

What is ETC at highway toll stations?

Highway ETC (Electronic Toll Collection) translates to electronic toll collection, which is a non-stop toll collection system. Highways are equipped with one or more ETC lanes. ETC toll collection method: Through microwave-dedicated short-range communication between the on-board RFID tag installed on the vehicle's windshield and the microwave antenna in the ETC lane at the toll station, the system uses networked technology to conduct background settlement processing with the bank. This achieves the purpose of vehicles passing through bridge and road toll stations without stopping to pay toll fees. Banks install this type of ETC express card with a 'pass first, pay later' approach. ETC application requirements are as follows: Provide the original and photocopy of the vehicle owner's valid ID card and vehicle registration certificate. The photocopy of the driver's license must include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp. Fill out a bank debit card application form, which will be used to bind the ETC card. After obtaining the card, you can go to a designated bank branch to receive and install the ETC on-board device for free, with no additional charges. Applicants must be between 18 and 60 years old and own a vehicle registered under their name. Documents required for company vehicles: An introduction letter from the vehicle owner (with official seal); photocopy of the organization code certificate or business license (with official seal); original and photocopy of the agent's ID card; original vehicle registration certificate; the vehicle that needs to apply for ETC. Precautions for installing ETC: Do not obstruct the driver's view. It is best to install it behind the rearview mirror: Many car models have a steeply angled windshield, which can reduce the driver's field of vision. If ETC installation does not consider this, it may increase blind spots. Install it on the right side behind the rearview mirror to avoid blocking the view. Do not interfere with charging: The ETC electronic tag consumes power but generally does not require charging or battery replacement, as it has a solar panel on the back for self-charging. Therefore, during installation, avoid the blackened areas on the windshield and positions that may block the solar panel. Once installed, do not remove it arbitrarily: The button in the middle of the adhesive is an anti-tamper lever connected to a switch. After installation, the windshield will press the anti-tamper lever in. If removed arbitrarily, the lever will pop out and trigger the switch, locking the electronic tag and rendering it unusable. You will then need to visit an ETC service point to unlock it. This feature is designed to prevent multiple vehicles from sharing one device.

What are the common car faults?

Common car faults and their solutions: 1. Red light on the dashboard: Generally refers to the brake and water temperature indicator lights. If the brake light suddenly turns on while driving, it could be due to worn brake pads, leaking brake fluid, or low brake fluid level. In this case, stop immediately and check, then seek nearby repairs instead of continuing long-distance driving. 2. Noticeably reduced braking effect: Often manifested as the car not stopping immediately after pressing the brake pedal, but continuing to move forward for a considerable distance before stopping. This might indicate a fault in the car's braking system, which is one of the most dangerous faults while driving and can easily lead to traffic accidents. Emergency measures should be taken, usually by checking if the brake pads are worn out, if the brake fluid has deteriorated, or if the tires are severely worn. 3. Steering wheel suddenly becomes heavy: If you suddenly notice significant resistance when turning the steering wheel while driving, and the wheel doesn’t return to its original position after turning, it could be due to a flat tire on one of the front wheels. For hydraulic power steering, it might be an issue with the power steering fluid; for electric power steering, it could be a blown fuse or a short circuit in the wiring. 4. Radiator leakage: The engine requires water circulation for cooling during operation, but if the radiator leaks, stop immediately. If the leak is at the bottom, it might be from the radiator or the windshield washer fluid reservoir, and you can continue driving cautiously. However, if the leaking fluid is yellow, green, or pink antifreeze, it indicates a radiator leak, and you must call for a tow truck. Do not drive until it’s repaired. 5. Vehicle feels unstable when turning: This is often caused by a fault in the front wheel alignment. Common causes include tire repairs that disrupt the balance of the front wheels, loose parts in the drive shaft, damaged overall balance, failed shock absorbers, worn or loose steering components, or improper front wheel alignment. Identify the specific cause before proceeding with repairs. 6. Smoke from the exhaust pipe: White smoke may indicate a dirty air filter causing insufficient air intake, or issues with the carburetor or oxygen sensor. Blue smoke, often accompanied by reduced acceleration and increased noise, might suggest internal engine faults like burning oil or scratches on the cylinder walls, requiring immediate repair to avoid significant damage. Black smoke usually points to problems with the ignition system, low cylinder pressure, or poor fuel quality. Try changing the fuel source first; if the issue persists, visit a repair shop. 7. Failure to start: If your newly purchased car frequently fails to start and the battery is always found dead after checks, don’t panic. Based on experience, batteries rarely drain on their own; it’s more likely due to habits like leaving the headlights on after exiting the car or listening to the audio system while the engine is off, which drains the battery.

How many questions are there in the driving license subject one test?

The driving license subject one test consists of 100 questions. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses", it is divided into single-choice questions and true/false questions, with each question worth 1 point and a total score of 100 points. If 11 questions are answered incorrectly during the test, the system will automatically submit the paper and end the test. Subject one, also known as the subject one theory test or driver 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 other related knowledge. The test is conducted on a computer with a time limit of 45 minutes. The content of the subject one test 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 knowledge of motor vehicles; 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. Notes for the subject one test: Candidates should pay attention to their attire and are not allowed to wear slippers. Electronic devices and bags are not allowed in the examination room. Bring your ID card and queue up to enter the waiting hall. Observe the precautions and procedures on the large screen, and store personal belongings in the lockers before entering the examination room. Upon entering the examination room, the identity verification station will assign a seat. After finding your seat, start the test. Ensure the camera is aligned with you and follow the test discipline. If you fail the first time, there is a retake opportunity on the same day. If you fail again, you will need to pay and reschedule. After the test, queue up to collect the score report and sign it. Failure to sign will render the test invalid. There is no limit to the number of times you can schedule the subject one test. Each subject can be taken once, and if you fail, you can retake it once. If you do not take the retake or fail the retake, the test will be terminated, and the applicant must reschedule the test. For subject two and subject three, there are only five test opportunities. Subject two and subject three tests can be scheduled ten days later. If the subject three safe and civilized driving knowledge test is failed, the previously passed road driving skill test results remain valid. There are three subjects in the driving test: subject one, subject two, and subject three. Subject one refers to the road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge test; subject two refers to the field driving skill test; subject three is divided into two parts: road driving skills and safe and civilized driving knowledge test. The safe and civilized driving knowledge test is conducted after subject three, so it is commonly referred to as subject four. However, in official terms (i.e., the Ministry of Public Security Order No. 123), there is no such thing as subject four.
