What does 'plus a few hundred meters' mean in Subject 4?
2 Answers
Each expressway has a starting point and an ending point, with kilometer markers along the roadside. For example: '100 kilometers plus 100 meters' refers to a location 100 kilometers and 100 meters from the starting point. Below is a detailed introduction to Subject 4: 1. Overview: Subject 4, also known as the Subject 4 theory test or driver theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. 2. Other Information: Subject 4 separates the requirements related to safe and civilized driving from the original Subject 1, including safe driving skills under complex conditions and emergency handling knowledge, and places them after the 'Subject 3' practical road driving test to further assess the candidate's level of traffic awareness.
I just passed the fourth subject test not long ago, and I remember it clearly. The phrase 'a few hundred meters ahead' refers to reminding drivers that there is a point where the road widens a few hundred meters ahead. For example, an additional lane might suddenly appear on the highway, or the shoulder might widen. During the test, you need to understand the purpose of this sign: to allow you to adjust your speed and lane in advance, so you don’t panic when you reach it. I’ve encountered similar situations while driving—suddenly seeing an extra fork in the road—and luckily, I slowed down early to avoid panic. Ultimately, this type of question tests your ability to anticipate changes in road conditions. I recommend focusing on memorizing the meanings of signs and the corresponding actions when practicing for the test.
