The "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses" clearly stipulates that the content of the C1 subject one test includes: 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, mountainous 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 inspection 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 Driving Licenses," the subject one test 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 test, the system will automatically submit the paper and end the test. Subject one, also known as the subject one theory test or driver theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driving license assessment. The test content includes driving theory basics, road safety laws and regulations, local regulations, and other related knowledge. The test format is computer-based, with a time limit of 45 minutes. Subject one test precautions: During the subject one test, students should pay attention to their attire, no slippers are allowed, electronic devices and bags are not allowed in the examination room, bring an ID card, and queue up to enter the waiting hall. Observe the precautions and procedures on the large screen, and place personal belongings in the safe before entering the examination room. In the examination room, the identity verification area assigns seats, and the test begins after finding the seat. Pay attention to the camera aligning with yourself and follow the test discipline. If you fail the first time, there is a retake on the same day. If you fail again, you need to pay and reschedule. After the test, queue up to collect the score report and sign it. If not signed, it is considered invalid. There is no limit to the number of times you can schedule the subject one test. Each subject test can be taken once, and if you fail, you can retake it once. If you do not participate in the retake or fail the retake, the test is terminated, and the applicant must reschedule the test. Subject two and subject three, however, have only five test attempts. Subject two and subject three tests should be scheduled ten days later. If the subject three safe and civilized driving knowledge test is failed, the passed road driving skill test scores remain valid. There are three subjects in the driving test: subject one, subject two, and subject three. Subject one refers to the road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge test; subject two refers to the field driving skill test; subject three is divided into two parts, referring to the road driving skill and safe and civilized driving knowledge test. The safe and civilized driving knowledge test 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 Order No. 123), there is no such term as subject four.

I just passed the C1 driver's license theory test (Subject 1) last month. The entire exam focused on theoretical knowledge, covering road traffic safety laws and regulations, such as the meaning of traffic signals, sign recognition (e.g., no-parking zones, speed limit signs), and basic driving safety knowledge like the consequences of drunk driving and emergency handling. It also included vehicle operation theories, such as how to correctly use lights and overtaking rules. The test consisted entirely of multiple-choice questions with a vast question bank. I spent half a month preparing, practicing two hours daily, emphasizing understanding the reasoning behind the rules rather than memorizing answers. Passing it felt very helpful for actual driving, reminding new drivers to study seriously and not just aim to pass.

As a transportation system worker, I often remind trainees that the content of the C1 subject one exam is very basic but crucial. It includes traffic regulations (such as driver's license regulations and penalty standards), safety knowledge (such as the risks of fatigued driving and how to handle weather impacts), sign and signal recognition (full-type identification), and principles of civilized driving. This knowledge is not only for the exam but also serves as the foundation for developing safe driving habits. It is recommended to use official textbooks or apps for systematic study during preparation, practice with plenty of mock tests, and repeatedly review mistakes. Remember, the exam tests understanding, not just memorization, which can help reduce errors in actual driving.

I'm a college student and recently started learning to drive. The C1 subject one test mainly covers theoretical knowledge, such as traffic light rules, the meaning of prohibition signs, how to drive correctly in lanes, and common sense about safe driving like the importance of wearing seat belts. When preparing, it's helpful to do a lot of practice questions, and apps are quite convenient. The test format is multiple-choice, and the questions are very practical. I feel that after studying, my confidence in driving has increased a lot. For beginners, don't be too nervous; just review carefully, and generally, you can pass.

From the perspective of a child who just got their driver's license, the C1 subject one exam covers traffic safety regulations (zero tolerance for drunk driving, penalties for speeding), sign recognition (such as warning and instructional signs), and basic driving knowledge (vehicle inspection, emergency avoidance). As a parent, I find these contents very systematic and helpful in cultivating a sense of responsibility in new drivers. I suggest that children use paper-based materials combined with online tests to reinforce their memory. During the exam, they should stay calm and not rush, as safety comes first. Even after passing, continuous learning is essential.

What does extended braking distance mean?

When the brake pedal is pressed and braking occurs, if the distance exceeds the standard braking distance, it is called extended braking distance. Reasons for extended braking distance: Issues with brake pads or brake discs: First, the tread pattern of the tires may not provide the same grip as new tires. The brake discs and brake pads engage during braking to achieve the braking effect. Wear and tear occur every time the brakes are applied. Replacing the brake pads or brake discs can resolve this issue. Issues with brake fluid: Brake fluid is also crucial because it has a certain level of hygroscopicity. Over time, un-replaced brake fluid can absorb small amounts of moisture from the surrounding air, forming water vapor. While the fluid itself is incompressible, any gas that enters the fluid can be compressed. If the brake fluid contains water vapor, the braking force will be significantly reduced, affecting driving safety. This can also lead to soft braking. Replacing the brake fluid can solve this problem.

What lights should be used when meeting on narrow roads or bridges?

When meeting non-motorized vehicles on narrow roads or bridges at night, low beam headlights should be used. On roads without central barriers or center lines, drivers should switch to low beam headlights when meeting oncoming vehicles at a distance of more than 150 meters at night. When meeting non-motorized vehicles on narrow roads or bridges, low beam headlights should be used. When passing through intersections controlled by traffic signals at night, vehicles should drive with low beam headlights on. The low beam headlights of a car can be adjusted manually using the knob behind the headlight assembly. Park the car 10 meters away from a wall, measure the distances from the low beam to the central axis, from the high beam to the central axis, and from the low beam to the ground. Then move close to the wall and mark the corresponding positions on the wall. Observe whether the light beam deviates left or right, is too high or too low. If the center of the headlight beam does not align with the marked points, it indicates misalignment. Adjust the headlight width by rotating the adjustment knob until the center of the headlight beam aligns with the marks on the wall.

How often should a six-year-old car be inspected in the following years?

Small passenger vehicles require inspection every 2 years after the first 6 years. Vehicles older than 6 years must be inspected annually, while those exceeding 15 years of age require semi-annual inspections. Vehicle inspections include three categories: motor vehicle safety technical inspection, emission inspection, and comprehensive performance inspection. Key considerations for annual vehicle inspection are as follows: 1. Engine: Check whether the engine, chassis, body and attached equipment are clean, complete and functional; whether the paint finish is uniform and aesthetically pleasing; whether major assemblies have been replaced and match the initial inspection records. 2. Braking performance: Verify whether the vehicle's braking performance, steering control, lighting, exhaust and other safety features comply with technical requirements for safe operation of motor vehicles. 3. Vehicle condition: Inspect whether the vehicle has undergone modifications or alterations; verify if the registration details on the driving license, license plate and vehicle records match the current condition and whether any changes have undergone proper approval and modification procedures.

What are the reasons for the SVS light being on, inability to accelerate, and lack of power?

SVS light being on, inability to accelerate, and lack of power can be caused by faults in the engine or automatic transmission, carbon deposits in the throttle, or poor fuel quality. Faults in the engine or automatic transmission: When the ECU or TCU detects issues with the engine or automatic transmission, the SVS warning light will illuminate. The solution is to promptly visit a repair shop for professional diagnostics. Carbon deposits in the throttle: The main cause is the reciprocating motion of airflow during the engine's intake and exhaust strokes. Not only does air get sucked in during intake, but gas reflux during valve overlap can also lead to carbon buildup in the intake tract. The solution is regular maintenance and timely cleaning of carbon deposits. Poor fuel quality: Low-quality fuel can result in weak acceleration, affect the gasoline filter and fuel lines, and may cause poor fuel delivery, leading to acceleration issues. It can also impact the lifespan of the exhaust system's catalytic converter. If the catalytic converter is clogged, it will directly affect the vehicle's acceleration performance, increase fuel consumption, and cause acceleration problems. The solution is to switch to higher-quality fuel.
