The reasons for a car's high temperature alarm are: 1. Lack of coolant or coolant leakage; 2. Dirty exterior or interior of the radiator; 3. Damaged thermostat; 4. Damaged water pump; 5. Damaged cylinder head gasket; 6. Damaged cooling fan and its control system; 7. Poor connection between the engine and the car frame, causing inaccurate feedback from the temperature sensor and resulting in a false reading on the temperature gauge. The solutions for a car's high temperature alarm are: 1. Stop the car but do not turn off the engine, then open the hood to inspect the cause and take appropriate action based on the specific situation; 2. If the water pump belt is broken, do not turn off the engine immediately. You can use water to cool the radiator and wait until the temperature drops to a safe level before turning off the engine and replacing the belt.

What to Do If You Lose Your ID Card During the Subject 1 Exam?

If you don't have your ID card, you can apply for a temporary ID card. A temporary ID card has the same validity as a formal ID card. Electronic ID cards cannot be used for the exam. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," you can take the Subject 1 exam twice on the same day. If you fail the first attempt, you can retake it for free. If you fail the second attempt, the Subject 1 exam will be terminated, and you can only reschedule the exam after ten days. The Subject 1 exam consists of 100 questions, including single-choice and true/false questions, with each question worth 1 point and a total score of 100. If you answer 11 questions incorrectly during the exam, the system will automatically submit the test and end the exam. The Subject 1 exam is computer-based and lasts for 45 minutes. The content of the Subject 1 exam includes: regulations on driver's licenses and motor vehicle management; road traffic conditions and regulations; road traffic safety violations and penalties; regulations on road traffic accident handling; 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. Exam precautions for Subject 1: Candidates should pay attention to their attire and are not allowed to wear slippers. Electronic devices and bags are not allowed in the exam room. Bring your ID card and queue to enter the waiting hall. Observe the precautions and procedures on the large screen, and store personal belongings in a locker before entering the exam room. Upon entering the exam room, the identity verification desk will assign a seat. After finding your seat, begin the exam. Ensure the camera is aligned with you and follow exam discipline. If you fail the first attempt, you can retake it on the same day. If you fail again, you will need to pay to reschedule the exam. After the exam, queue to collect your score sheet and sign it. Failure to sign will render the result invalid. There is no limit to the number of times you can reschedule the Subject 1 exam. Each subject can be taken once, and if you fail, you can retake it once. If you do not take the retest or fail the retest, the exam will be terminated, and you must reschedule. For Subject 2 and Subject 3, there are only five exam attempts. Subject 2 and Subject 3 exams must be rescheduled after ten days. If you fail the Subject 3 safe driving knowledge test, the previously passed road driving skills test results remain valid. There are three subjects in the driver's license exam: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3. Subject 1 refers to the exam on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge. Subject 2 refers to the field driving skills exam. Subject 3 is divided into two parts: road driving skills and safe driving knowledge. The safe driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject 3, so it is commonly referred to as Subject 4. However, the official term (as per the Ministry of Public Security Order No. 123) does not include Subject 4. The exam duration is 45 minutes.
