The 'on' button on the car's ignition switch means 'on'. Turn the key to the 'on' position to power up the car. If you continue to turn it to the 'start' position, you can start the engine. After turning to the 'on' position, basically all electrical equipment in the car can be used. With the continuous development of technology, the way cars start is also changing. Many cars are now basically equipped with a one-button start system, which I think was originally used for racing cars. The one-button start system was equipped in cars because it eliminates the need for anti-theft measures and allows drivers to quickly start the engine and get into the race. Later, the one-button start system was also applied to civilian vehicles.

How Many Kilometers Can New Tires Run?

Normal all-season tires that meet international production standards can generally run up to 113,000 kilometers under normal driving conditions and road surfaces. Even lower-quality tires can theoretically last around 100,000 kilometers. With good driving habits and high-quality tires, it's possible to extend their lifespan by tens of thousands of kilometers. Below is additional information: Tire shelf life: Although there are no specific national regulations on the shelf life of car tires, the rubber in tires typically has a shelf life of 3–5 years. Even if the tires have never been used, after this period, the rubber and cords will age, the steel wires will rust, and small cracks will appear on the tire surface, weakening the tire's strength. When purchasing tires, consumers should carefully check the production date marked on the tire, usually represented by a 4-digit code on the sidewall. For example, '2315' indicates the 23rd week of 2015, meaning the tire was produced in June 2015, helping to avoid buying retreaded tires. If there are differences in the rubber material between the tread and sidewall, it may indicate a retreaded tire. As rubber products, tires age over time even when unused, posing potential safety hazards. Tires with a production date older than 3 years should be purchased with caution, and those older than 5 years should be avoided. Ideally, choose tires produced within the last 3 years, preferably from the current or previous year, with the closer the production date, the better.

Is it acceptable if the car body touches the line during the Subject 2 driving test?

Body touching the line means the car body crosses the line. In the Subject 2 driving test, crossing the line will result in a 100-point deduction, making the test unsuccessful. In addition to body crossing the line, other actions that will result in a 100-point deduction include failing to park properly in reverse, stopping midway, not following the prescribed route or sequence, and exceeding the allotted time. The full score for Subject 2 is 100 points, with evaluation criteria set for failure, 20-point deductions, 10-point deductions, and 5-point deductions. The test is considered passed under the following conditions: ① For applicants of large passenger vehicles, tractors, city buses, medium-sized passenger vehicles, and large trucks, a score of 90 or above is required; ② For other vehicle types, a score of 80 or above is required. If the Subject 2 test is failed, one retake is allowed on the spot. If the applicant does not take the retake or fails it again, the test is terminated, and the applicant must reschedule the test after ten days. Within the validity period of the driving test permit, the number of retakes for Subject 2 and Subject 3 road driving tests cannot exceed five. If the fifth retake is still failed, the results of other previously passed subjects will be invalidated.

How Long Can a Newly Purchased Motorcycle Be Driven Without License Plates?

Newly purchased motorcycles cannot be driven on the road without license plates. Otherwise, 12 points will be deducted from the driver's license, and a fine will be imposed. However, there are two opportunities to apply for temporary license plates, each valid for 15 days. Eligibility and Scope for Applying for Temporary License Plates: When driving the vehicle from the place of purchase to the place of use, a temporary license plate must be applied for at the local vehicle management office where the vehicle was purchased. If the vehicle is being transferred and the official license plate has been surrendered, a temporary license plate must be applied for at the local vehicle management office to drive back to the original location. The process and procedures for applying for temporary license plates include: The applicant must provide a letter of introduction from their unit, proof of vehicle origin, the vehicle's certificate of conformity, and other relevant documents (except for the letter of introduction, which will be archived, the rest will be returned to the applicant). The application must specify the starting and ending locations of the vehicle's journey and the duration of the temporary license plate. After review by the management staff and a satisfactory vehicle inspection, the temporary license plate will be issued, with the validity period and route clearly indicated. Method for Attaching Temporary License Plates: Two temporary license plates must be attached: one should be placed on the upper right corner of the front windshield inside the vehicle, in a position that does not obstruct the driver's view and should not be covered by the compulsory insurance label. The other should be placed on the upper left corner of the rear windshield inside the vehicle.

What Causes Car Wobbling?

Car wobbling can be attributed to several factors from the perspective of wheel balance: Wheel imbalance is a common issue in many vehicles. During manufacturing, tires and rims cannot guarantee perfectly uniform quality, and worn tires may lead to rotational imbalance, subsequently causing body sway. From the perspective of steering gear clearance: Over time, the meshing gears and racks wear out, creating play between them, which results in a sensation of body wobbling. From the suspension framework perspective: Suspension components are connected via ball joints and rubber bushings. However, as these ball joints and bushings wear out, the components may loosen, leading to a loose suspension system that causes body wobbling during driving.

Do I Need to Practice Driving for Subject 2 Every Day?

Subject 2 does not require daily practice. The following points should be noted for Subject 2: 1. Mock Test: The purpose of a mock test is to familiarize the candidate with the exam environment and allow the instructor to point out areas where points are easily deducted. Therefore, mock tests are absolutely essential, and thorough preparation is the best way to face the exam. 2. Ensure Adequate Sleep: It is crucial to get a good night's rest the day before the exam to avoid involuntary nervousness or dizziness during the test. 3. Bring Your ID Card: You must bring your ID card to the exam. Without it, you cannot participate, and all your preparation would be in vain. Additionally, make sure to turn off your mobile phone during the exam, as any activity from the phone could be considered cheating.
