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.

I just passed the written test last month. The key point of question 261 is one sentence: covering the license plate deducts 9 points. Question 145 is about driving too fast on regular roads, where speeding between 20%-50% will deduct 6 points. There's a catch here: if the question states speeding over 50%, it becomes a 12-point deduction, which is completely different from question 145. Actually, the question number isn't important; the key is to pay attention to the qualifiers in the question. When I was practicing, I noticed these types of questions often test confusing variations, like changing to a highway scenario where the point deduction changes.

As a driving school instructor, I deal with these issues daily. Violation code 261 refers to obstructing license plates, whether with mud or CDs, now uniformly penalized with a 9-point deduction. Question 145 specifically addresses driving 20% to 50% over the speed limit on urban roads or ordinary highways. To remember, associate the scenario: speeding 20% on regular roads costs 6 points, but the same violation on highways jumps straight to 9 points. Veteran students often trip up on distinguishing road types in these questions.

When I was preparing for the written test, I specifically wrote down the tricky questions in a notebook. Question 261 refers to behaviors like covering the license plate, which now deducts 9 points but isn't the maximum penalty. Question 145 involves speed limit calculations, focusing on three numbers: 20%, 50%, and 6 points. The rule is: exceeding the speed limit by ≥ 20% but < 50% on regular roads results in 6 points, while exceeding by ≥ 50% means 12 points. These questions always appear in different forms. Last month, my sister encountered a variation of question 145 in her test, which asked 'How many points are deducted for driving at 60 in a 40 speed limit zone?'

What to Do If the License Plate Screw Hole Is Damaged?

If the license plate screw hole is damaged, you can go to the vehicle management office to replace it or use rivets to re-secure the license plate. Alternatively, you can remove it, weld a bolt, apply anti-rust coating, or offset the screw hole position and drill a new hole in the license plate. If you need to replace the screws, simply go to the vehicle management office to apply for them. However, it's important to note that screws in each province or city have special markings, so be careful not to install them incorrectly. License plates, commonly referred to as vehicle tags, are the numbering and information registration for each vehicle, displaying the registration number, registration area, or other relevant details. Their primary function is to identify the vehicle's region of registration and allow authorities to trace the vehicle's owner and registration information based on the plate.

Does Cruise Control Affect the Car?

Cruise control does not affect the car. Here are some precautions for using cruise control: 1. Pay attention to road conditions: Do not use the speed control system when driving on roads with heavy traffic or poor road surfaces (such as slippery roads, loose gravel roads, or roads after heavy rain); 2. Avoid pressing the clutch: After the system is activated and the speed exceeds 40 km/h, do not press the clutch pedal or shift the gear lever into neutral, as this may cause the engine to over-rev and lead to damage. 3. Check for faults: When using the cruise control system, observe whether the "CRUISE" indicator light on the dashboard is flashing. If it is flashing, it indicates that the cruise control system is in a fault state.

What are the main reasons for diesel vehicles emitting black smoke?

The main reasons for diesel vehicles emitting black smoke are: 1. Uneven or excessive fuel supply from the high-pressure fuel pump to each cylinder, which can cause unstable engine speed and intermittent black smoke; 2. Poor quality diesel fuel that is difficult to ignite, leading to black smoke emissions, and also prone to carbon buildup in the combustion chamber and exhaust pipe muffler; 3. Overly rich air-fuel mixture resulting in incomplete combustion, which can be caused by various factors such as high fuel pressure, damaged fuel injectors leaking fuel, or poor ignition performance; 4. Severe wear of cylinder liners and piston components, which leads to poor piston ring sealing, a significant drop in cylinder pressure, resulting in incomplete combustion of diesel and black smoke emissions, along with a sharp decrease in engine power, and in severe cases, the engine may even stall automatically.
