What do 261 and 145 mean in Subject 1?
3 Answers
261 and 145 in Subject 1 refer to the speed limits on highways under rainy and foggy weather conditions based on visibility. Here are the details: 1. 261: When visibility is less than 200 meters on the highway, the speed should not exceed 60 km/h, and the distance between vehicles should be no less than 100 meters. 2. 145: When visibility is less than 100 meters on the highway, the speed should not exceed 40 km/h, and the distance between vehicles should be no less than 50 meters. 3. Subject 1 requirements: For first-time applicants of a motor vehicle driver's license or those applying to add a permitted vehicle type, the vehicle management office should issue a driving test permit within one day after passing the Subject 1 exam. The driving test permit is valid for three years, and applicants must complete Subject 2 and Subject 3 exams within this period. If the exams are not completed within the validity period, the passed subject results will be invalidated.
Haha, I remember this question clearly! When I was taking the driver's license test, I often got confused too. Question 261 is about obscuring or damaging the license plate, which directly results in a 9-point deduction! It used to be 12 points, but the new regulations changed it. Question 145 refers to driving 20%-50% over the speed limit on ordinary roads. For example, if the speed limit is 60 km/h and you drive between 72-90 km/h, you'll get a 6-point deduction if caught. There's a trap here—some people think you only get penalized for exceeding the speed limit by 20%, but in fact, any speed exceeding 20% is considered a violation. Pay special attention to the scenario described in the question, as the point deduction standards differ between ordinary roads and highways. On highways, speeding 20%-50% over the limit results in a higher point deduction.
I just went over these two questions when teaching my daughter to practice. Question 261 is about deliberately covering the license plate—now if caught, it's an indisputable 9-point deduction. The core of Question 145 is the speeding range on ordinary roads: exceeding the speed limit by 20% but less than 50% results in a 6-point deduction. These two questions are often tested together for comparison, like asking whether covering the license plate deducts 9 points or speeding by 20% on ordinary roads deducts 9 points. Actually, memorizing a rhyme is more convenient: 'On ordinary roads, exceed by 20% but not break 50%'—just remember it's a 6-point deduction. But be careful, questions about trucks or buses overloading are also mixed in this section.
