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?'

Will there be any problem if I forget to step on the brake when shifting to P gear?

Forgetting to step on the brake once when shifting to P gear will not have much impact on the car, but doing so for a long time can damage the car's transmission. The correct parking steps should be: 1. Step on the brake to stop the car; 2. Shift the gear to N gear; 3. Tighten the handbrake; 4. Turn off the engine; 5. Shift to P gear. P gear is also called the parking gear, which relies on the power of the engine to brake the vehicle. When the gear is shifted to P gear, there will be a locking gear in the automatic transmission to lock the transmission. Therefore, when shifting to P gear, any movement of the wheels can easily cause the locking gear to break, and even seriously affect the transmission.

What Causes the Stop-Start System Malfunction?

Stop-start system malfunction refers to a failure in the vehicle's start-stop system. The symptoms of an engine start-stop system malfunction include: prolonged engine starting time, very low engine speed after starting, and sometimes the engine shutting off immediately after starting. If such issues occur, it is recommended to have the vehicle repaired at a 4S shop. Precautions for using the engine start-stop system: 1. When the start-stop is activated, the air conditioning cannot be used. If air conditioning is needed, the engine must start within 10 seconds; 2. Avoid using the automatic start-stop feature in traffic jams; 3. Do not activate the start-stop system on slopes, as the vehicle may slide when the brake is released, and the engine may not start in time, leading to insufficient braking force assistance.
