The "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses" clearly stipulates the content of the automatic transmission driver's license subject one exam: laws, regulations, and rules on road traffic safety; traffic signals and their meanings; knowledge of safe driving and civilized driving; safe driving knowledge under conditions such as highways, mountain roads, bridges, tunnels, nighttime, adverse weather, and complex road conditions; emergency handling knowledge in situations like tire blowouts, steering failure, and brake failure; general structure of motor vehicles, common knowledge of main safety devices, basic knowledge of daily inspections and maintenance; basic knowledge of self-rescue and first aid after traffic accidents, as well as common hazardous materials knowledge. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," the subject one exam consists of 100 questions, divided into single-choice questions and true/false questions, with each question worth 1 point, totaling 100 points. If 11 questions are answered incorrectly during the exam, the system will automatically submit the paper and end the exam. Subject one, also known as the theoretical exam or driver's theory exam, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. The exam content includes driving theory basics, road safety laws and regulations, local regulations, and related knowledge. The exam is conducted on a computer with a time limit of 45 minutes. Subject one exam precautions: Candidates should pay attention to their attire during the exam, no slippers are allowed, electronic devices and bags are not permitted in the exam hall, bring an ID card, and queue to enter the waiting hall. Observe the precautions and procedures on the large screen, and store personal belongings in a locker before entering the exam hall. Upon entering, the identity verification station will assign a seat. After finding the seat, start the exam, ensuring the camera is aligned with you and adhering to exam discipline. If you fail the first time, there is a retake opportunity on the same day. If you fail again, you must pay to reschedule. After the exam, queue to collect the score report and sign it. Failure to sign will render the exam invalid. There is no limit to the number of times you can reschedule the subject one exam. Each subject can be taken once, and if you fail, you can retake it once. If you do not attend the retake or fail the retake, the exam will be terminated, and the applicant must reschedule the exam. For subjects two and three, there are only five exam attempts, and the exams must be rescheduled ten days later. If you fail the subject three safe and civilized driving knowledge exam, the passed road driving skills exam results remain valid. The driver's license exam consists of three subjects: subject one, subject two, and subject three. Subject one refers to the road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge exam; subject two refers to the field driving skills exam; subject three is divided into two parts, referring to the road driving skills and safe and civilized driving knowledge exam. The safe and civilized driving knowledge exam is conducted after subject three, so it is commonly referred to as subject four. However, in the official terminology (i.e., the Ministry of Public Security's Order No. 123), there is no such term as subject four.

I just passed the automatic transmission subject one test recently and excited to share the content. It includes traffic rules such as the meaning of traffic signals, speed limits, right-of-way principles, and penalties for violations. Safety knowledge covers the consequences of drunk driving, warnings against fatigued driving, and emergency handling. Basic vehicle knowledge includes key points for operating automatic transmission cars and maintenance basics. The entire test consists of 100 computer-based questions, requiring at least 90 correct answers. While studying, I practiced questions on an app, focusing on memorizing traffic signs and common scenario questions, such as the use of lights during night driving. It's recommended to take more mock tests to grasp the core points and save time. Only after passing did I realize its practicality, laying a foundation for the subsequent road test.

What are the precautions after replacing new brake pads?

After replacing brake pads, the following precautions should be noted: 1. The thickness of a new brake pad is generally around 10mm. When visual inspection shows the thickness has reduced to about 1/3 of the original (approximately 3mm), the owner should increase self-inspection frequency and be ready to replace them. 2. If a metallic scraping sound is heard when lightly applying the brakes, the brake pads should be replaced immediately. This indicates the wear indicators on both sides of the brake pads are directly rubbing against the rotor, showing the pads have exceeded their limit. 3. As brake pads wear thinner, braking performance will be affected. Deeper depression of the brake pedal will be required to achieve the same braking effect that previously required only light pressure, with noticeably reduced braking effectiveness in the initial pedal travel.

What is the function of the car radar?

The function of the car radar is to detect the distance between the vehicle body and other vehicles or obstacles, and to inform the driver of the surrounding situation through sound or display, thereby avoiding unnecessary friction or collisions during parking or reversing. The reasons for radar malfunction include: 1. Failure of the buzzer or display; 2. Damage to the reversing radar circuit; 3. Loose connection between the buzzer or display and the main unit. The working principle of the radar is: under the control of the controller, the sensor emits ultrasonic signals. When encountering an obstacle, an echo signal is generated. After the sensor receives the echo signal, the controller processes the data to determine the position of the obstacle. The distance is then displayed on the display, and a warning signal is issued to achieve the purpose of safe parking.

How Long Is the General Lifespan of Tires?

Tires typically have a service life of around 5 years, with the exact duration being influenced by driving habits, temperature, and environmental conditions. More relevant information is as follows: 1. Tires are rubber products and generally last 5 to 6 years. Over time, they will age, leading to cracking, which increases the risk of blowouts. Additionally, tires have tread patterns; if these patterns wear flat, the grip will decrease, making the vehicle more prone to skidding. These factors can compromise driving safety, necessitating tire replacement. 2. Tires are often used under complex and demanding conditions, enduring various deformations, loads, forces, and temperature extremes during operation. Therefore, they must possess high load-bearing capacity, traction performance, and cushioning properties.
