Water flowing out of a car's exhaust pipe is due to the evaporation of water vapor from gasoline during combustion and condensation. Dripping from the exhaust pipe indicates that the fuel is being fully burned in the engine. The exhaust pipe consists of a front pipe and a rear pipe, and its functions include: 1. Vibration damping and noise reduction; 2. Facilitating installation; 3. Extending the lifespan of the exhaust muffler system. The maintenance methods for the exhaust pipe are: 1. Waterproofing: When driving in the rain or going to a car wash, be careful to prevent water from entering the muffler, which can cause rust and affect the exhaust pipe's performance; 2. Rust prevention: Remove the muffler, block the drainage hole, add rust-proof oil evenly into the cylinder, and reinstall the muffler; 3. Cleaning: The exhaust pipe is often exposed to the outside, similar to the interior of the car. Accumulated dirt inside can affect normal operation, so it's important to keep the exhaust pipe clean.

How Long Does It Usually Take to Practice for Subject 2?

Usually 12-22 days. Here are the relevant details: 1. Training Hours: For C1 and C2 driver's license training in driving schools, the theoretical training for Subject 2 must reach 2 hours, and the practical training must reach 22 hours before taking the test. However, this standard is not strictly enforced, as many driving schools submit the exam list based on the students' proficiency level, meaning the practice time is not fixed. If you want to take the test as soon as possible, you should increase the frequency of your practice sessions at the driving school. 2. Notes: During the pre-driving preparation, you must adjust the seat and fasten your seatbelt before verifying your fingerprint. Each test item in the examination area is monitored by GPS positioning, and the control line (yellow dotted line) of each item represents the test area for that item. Once the front of the vehicle passes the control line, it means you have entered the test for that item and must complete it according to the test rules.

Is Gear Shifting Required in Subject 2?

Gear shifting is not required in the Subject 2 driving test. The vehicle should remain in first gear when moving forward, and the semi-clutch method can be used to control the speed. Reverse gear is used for reversing into the parking space and parallel parking. Below are some relevant details: 1. Test Tips: Carefully control the accelerator and brake. Use the brake to slow down and the accelerator to speed up, but avoid pressing either too forcefully. For safety, it is recommended to maintain a slow speed throughout. During hill starts, be careful to prevent the vehicle from rolling back. Gradually release the brake only when you feel the car has enough power to climb the slope. 2. Failing the Test: If you fail the Subject 2 test on the first attempt, you are allowed one retake. If you do not take the retake or fail it again, the test session ends, and the applicant must reschedule the test after ten days. Within the validity period of the driving skill test permit, the number of test reschedules for Subject 2 and Subject 3 road driving skill tests must not exceed five times.

How to Install a Beam Wiper Blade?

Beam wiper blade installation steps are as follows: 1. The wiper and U-bar must form a 90-degree angle to remove the old wiper blade. Lift the wiper upwards until it is perpendicular to the windshield, then pull out the U-bar. 2. After removing the old wiper, install the new beam wiper blade. Gently press the "buttons" on both sides of the slot with your fingers, and the middle cover will open. 3. Insert the U-bar, snap the cover into place, and smooth it out to complete the installation. Related introduction to beam wiper blades: A beam wiper blade consists of four components: the wiper rubber, beam wiper steel strip, wiper cover, and plastic parts. The bracket is made of stainless steel, the steel strip is carbon steel with a length between 10-28 inches, a thickness of 0.80~0.90 mm, and a width generally between 7.00~14.00 mm.

Can You Turn on the Wiper During Driving Test Subject Two in the Rain?

You can turn on the wiper. Here are some precautions for driving test subject two on rainy days: 1. Adjust your mindset: The most important thing for a rainy day test is your mindset. When encountering rain during the test, you must not have negative emotions or be overly nervous. Therefore, candidates must adjust their mindset during the test, maintain an optimistic mood, and not let the weather affect them. 2. Preparations before getting in the car: The rearview mirror may become blurry in the rain, so candidates must wipe the rearview mirror clean before getting in the car to avoid unclear visibility during the test. Before getting in the car, candidates should shake off mud and water from their feet to prevent slipping when stepping on the pedals. Driving in the rain makes the wheels prone to skidding. Therefore, during the test, candidates should control the speed of the car, which should be slower than during normal training. 3. Braking: Brake pads are prone to skidding in the rain, so when braking, you should apply slightly more force than usual. 4. Turning on the wiper: Generally speaking, not turning on the wiper does not have a significant impact on the test. However, it should be noted that before stopping at the designated point on the slope, turn on the wiper to clean the rainwater on the front windshield, then turn it off to prepare for the designated stop.

What are the five items in Subject 2?

Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment and is the abbreviation for the field driving skills test. For small cars (C1/C2), the test items include five mandatory components: reversing into a garage, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, right-angle turns, and curve driving (commonly known as S-curves). In some regions, there is a sixth item: high-speed card collection. Below are related details: 1. Large vehicle test items: These include pole testing, stopping and starting on a slope, parallel parking, crossing a single-plank bridge, curve driving, right-angle turns, passing through a width-restricted gate, navigating continuous obstacles, driving on bumpy roads, narrow-road U-turns, as well as simulated highway driving, continuous sharp turns on mountain roads, tunnels, rain (fog) conditions, slippery roads, and emergency handling. 2. Notes: If you fail the Subject 2 test, you can retake it once. If you do not take the retest or fail the retest, the current test session ends, and the applicant must reschedule the test after ten days. Within the validity period of the driving skills test permit, the number of rescheduled tests for Subject 2 and Subject 3 road driving skills tests must not exceed five. If the fifth rescheduled test is still failed, the results of other previously passed subjects will be invalidated.
