The "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses" clearly stipulates the content of the Subject 1 test: road traffic safety laws, regulations, and rules; 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 for 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. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," the Subject 1 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 1, also known as the Subject 1 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 related knowledge. The test is conducted on a computer, with a time limit of 45 minutes. Subject 1 test precautions: Candidates should pay attention to their attire, no slippers are allowed, electronic devices and bags are not permitted in the examination room, bring their 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 examination room. In the examination room, the identity verification area will assign a seat. After finding the seat, start the test, ensure the camera is aligned with you, and adhere to exam discipline. If you fail the first time, there is a retake opportunity on the same day. If you fail again, you will need to pay and reschedule. After the test, queue to collect the score report and sign it. Failure to sign will render the result invalid. There is no limit to the number of times you can reschedule the Subject 1 test. 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 test will be terminated, and the applicant must reschedule the test. In contrast, Subject 2 and Subject 3 have only five test attempts each. Subject 2 and Subject 3 tests can be rescheduled after ten days. If you fail the Subject 3 safe and civilized driving knowledge test, the passed road driving skills test results remain valid. There are three subjects in the driving test: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3. Subject 1 refers to the road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge test; Subject 2 refers to the field driving skills test; Subject 3 is divided into two parts: road driving skills and safe and civilized driving knowledge test. The safe and civilized driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject 3, so it is commonly referred to as Subject 4. However, in official terms (i.e., the Ministry of Public Security Order No. 123), there is no such term as Subject 4.

What does the set sign on a car mean?

The set sign on a car refers to the cruise speed control switch. When you want to set the cruise speed, accelerate the car to the predetermined speed and press the set button. If you step on the brake while using cruise speed control, the cruise speed control will stop working. The set system mainly consists of a command switch, sensors, ECU, and an actuator. The ECU has two signal inputs: one is the command speed signal set by the driver as required, and the other is the feedback signal of the actual driving speed. After the controller detects the error between these two input signals, it generates a throttle control signal sent to the throttle actuator, so that the throttle actuator adjusts the opening of the engine throttle according to the throttle control signal to correct the error detected by the electronic control device and keep the speed constant.

What Causes Loud Engine Noise in Cars?

Car engine noise issues and solutions are as follows: Engine Mount Deterioration: After high mileage, engine mounts may deteriorate. Replacing the engine mounts can resolve this issue. Seal Strip Aging: If the engine sounds normal externally but noise is excessive inside the cabin, this indicates poor vehicle sound insulation. Inspect the vehicle's sealing strips for signs of aging. Alternatively, improving the vehicle's sealing effectiveness may reduce noise. Cylinder Valve Malfunction: If the engine produces a dull, tapping-like sound during operation, this may indicate cylinder valve issues. In such cases, this sound typically disappears when driving at higher speeds.

Can Motorcycles Go on Highways?

Motorcycles are allowed on highways by regulation, but not all cities permit motorcycles on their highways. It depends on local regulations. Speed requirements for motorcycles on highways: Highways have clear speed regulations. The maximum speed for cars is 120 km/h, but motorcycles cannot exceed 80 km/h and must not go below 60 km/h. This can be challenging for riders who are not adept at controlling their speed. There is only a 20 km/h range to maintain, making it easy to either exceed the speed limit or fall below the minimum speed requirement. Other requirements for motorcycles on highways: Riders must have all necessary documents and equipment. When riding a motorcycle on the highway, a driver's license, vehicle registration, helmet, etc., must be carried, and passengers are not allowed on the back seat of the motorcycle.

How Long Should You Idle to Recharge a Dead Battery?

After a battery is dead, it requires approximately 20 hours of idling to recharge. While the car is running, the alternator replenishes the battery, but when the battery is depleted, a portable charger should be used for timely recharging. If a car battery remains unused for an extended period, it will gradually discharge until it becomes unusable. Therefore, it is recommended to start the car periodically to recharge the battery. Car batteries, also known as storage batteries, function by converting chemical energy into electrical energy. They are categorized into conventional lead-acid batteries, dry-charged batteries, and maintenance-free batteries. The typical lifespan of a car battery ranges from 1 to 8 years, depending largely on usage conditions. Batteries are sensitive to cold temperatures, as their capacity significantly decreases in low-temperature environments compared to normal conditions. To prevent damage from freezing, avoid parking the car in open-air lots for prolonged periods in daily use.
