It may be due to a delay in score entry, just wait for a while. Relevant information is as follows: 1. Exam format: The content of driving license Subject 4 is a theoretical test, a driver's theory test. Subject 4 adds a safety and common sense test to the Subject 3 road test. Officially, there is no Subject 4; the test paper consists of 50 questions, mainly in the form of case studies, pictures, and animations, with a full score of 100 and a passing score of 90. 2. Exam content: The main test content of Subject 4 includes safety and civilized driving operation requirements, safe driving knowledge under adverse weather and complex road conditions, emergency handling methods for situations like tire blowouts, and post-accident handling knowledge.

I'm a novice currently learning to drive, and having 'Subject 4 application in progress' means I've already passed Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3, and now I'm in the queue waiting for the system to schedule my Subject 4 exam on safe and civilized driving knowledge. The application is usually submitted by my driving school or myself online, and it takes the vehicle management office a few days to review and confirm eligibility before issuing the exam date. During this period, 'application in progress' indicates everything is under review. I'm quite excited at this stage because passing means getting my driver's license, but also nervous, so I need to use this time to practice more on question apps like 'Driving Test Treasure' to prepare. Subject 4 consists of 50 situational judgment questions on safety, such as how to handle driving in the rain or pedestrians crossing the road, with a passing score of 90. I suggest friends not to relax during the application period but to spend half an hour daily reviewing and reinforcing key points. Passing the exam will bring joy, and the whole process can be completed in as fast as a week.

As an experienced driving instructor, 'Application in Progress' for Subject 4 refers to the stage where students officially submit their exam registration after passing the first three subjects, which is currently being processed. At this time, the vehicle management office is verifying the accuracy of the student's information, screening for any violation records, and arranging the exam time and location. The 'Application in Progress' status is a temporary holding stage. Students need to wait patiently for a few days, usually 3 to 5 working days, before receiving a notification about the exam schedule. We remind everyone that the Subject 4 exam focuses on safe driving rules and civilized common sense. Before the exam, it's advisable to practice with mock tests to improve accuracy. This process reflects the system's importance in ensuring every driver has a foundation of safety knowledge before hitting the road, which helps enhance overall road safety. Once the application is confirmed, students should focus on reviewing and preparing for the exam.

Is the Touch-Up Paint Pen Really Useful?

Touch-up paint pens are one of the tools for repairing car scratches. They can be considered for very minor scratches. However, if the scratches are relatively large or long, the results from using a touch-up paint pen may still leave you greatly disappointed. The reason is that touch-up paint pens cannot achieve the same perfection as professional paint repair, and color discrepancies might even make you regret using the pen. Additionally, for scratches that have exposed the primer, a touch-up paint pen can help conceal the damage and prevent rust, but it still cannot match the effect of a professional paint job. How to Use a Touch-Up Paint Pen? 1. Purchase a touch-up paint pen online. Some car owners might think they will receive just a single pen, but the complete set usually includes other tools needed for scratch repair, such as sandpaper, putty, tape, polishing compound, and blending clear coat. 2. Wash the car thoroughly beforehand. If this isn't necessary, at least clean the area where the scratch is located. Then, wrap wet sandpaper around a cotton block and gently sand the scratch until you can no longer feel any unevenness compared to the surrounding paint. 3. Prepare some newspapers and use tape to mask off areas that don't need touch-up. Assemble the touch-up paint pen with the mini spray can and apply the paint from about 20 cm away, moving back and forth. Be sure to wait a few minutes between coats to let the paint dry before applying the next layer, continuing until the scratch is covered. Avoid lingering in one spot for too long, as this can cause the paint to run or drip. 4. After applying the paint, wait about 20 minutes for it to dry. Then, assemble the blending clear coat with the spray can and apply it over the repaired area in the same back-and-forth motion. The blending clear coat helps the touched-up paint blend better with the car's original color and also protects the repaired area. 5. Wait a full day before applying a scratch-removal polishing compound to wax the repaired area, completing the touch-up process.

Can I still drive after deducting two 6-point penalties?

Yes, because if the total deduction is not 12 points at once, you can use two driver's licenses to handle the penalties. Handling methods for vehicle violation penalties exceeding 12 points: 1. Class A and B driver's licenses: Direct downgrade. According to Article 78 of the "Ministry of Public Security Order No. 139": For drivers holding large passenger vehicles, tractors, city buses, medium-sized passenger vehicles, or large trucks, if they accumulate 12 or more penalty points in one scoring cycle, the vehicle management office shall revoke their highest permitted driving qualification and process a downgrade of their license within 30 days. 2. Class C driver's license: If 12 points are deducted, retake the subject one test. According to Article 68 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses": If a motor vehicle driver accumulates 12 penalty points in one scoring cycle, the traffic management department of the public security authority shall confiscate their motor vehicle driver's license. The driver must report to the traffic management department of the public security authority at the license issuance location or the location of the violation within 15 days to attend a seven-day course on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge. After completing the course, the vehicle management office shall administer a test on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge within 20 days. If the test is passed, the penalty points will be cleared, and the motor vehicle driver's license will be returned. If the test is failed, the driver must continue attending the course and retake the test. Those who refuse to attend the course or take the test will have their motor vehicle driver's license suspended by the traffic management department of the public security authority.

How to Use a Multimeter to Test for Car Electrical Leakage?

The first step in using a multimeter to test for car electrical leakage: Disconnect the negative battery terminal; the second step: Insert the red probe of the multimeter into the 20A current jack and set the dial to 20A DC; the third step: Connect the red probe to the battery cable and the black probe to the battery terminal—the probes can be connected in reverse. The fourth step: At this point, the multimeter will display the amount of leakage current. How do you identify where the leakage is occurring? 1. Basic formula: Power = Voltage multiplied by Current (P=UI). If the current exceeds 600mA, what should the leakage power be? 12 × 0.6 = 7.2W, indicating a 7.2W electrical device—a small bulb is about 5W. Through this simple judgment, you can roughly locate where the leakage is happening. How much power does the specific device consume? This will be accumulated through daily maintenance experience. 2. Remove the fuses and relays of suspected electrical devices, paying attention to 4-pin and 5-pin relays. When reinstalling them, ensure they are not mixed up. First, remove the suspected fuses. In some cases, after powering off, rematching may be necessary. This is unavoidable. For devices requiring rematching, such as audio systems, leave them for last. If the leakage stops after removing a fuse or relay, it indicates the electrical device connected to that fuse or relay is the source of the leakage, narrowing down the target range. Note: If there are aftermarket additions in the car, these are more likely to be the culprits. If a computer module is leaking, unplug its connector and then measure the leakage. Alternatively, a current clamp can also be used to measure leakage—this method is simpler and does not require power disconnection (avoiding rematching issues after power-off).
