The 'C' in tire code 165/70r13c indicates a maximum speed of 60 km/h. '165' represents the tire width in millimeters (165mm), '70' is the aspect ratio, 'R' stands for radial tire, and '13' denotes the rim size (13-inch). Meaning of tire size codes: Tire types follow international standard codes, expressed in millimeters for section width and aspect ratio percentage. These are followed by tire type code, rim diameter (in inches), load index (permissible load capacity code), and permissible speed code. How to check tire specifications: Original tire sizes can be found in the owner's manual, on the left front door frame, storage compartment door, or fuel filler cap. The tire specification information can also be found on the sidewall of existing tires. Important considerations for car tires: Regularly check tire pressure, generally maintaining around 2.5 bar; When changing tire size or width, be sure to register with the vehicle management office, otherwise it may affect annual vehicle inspections; It's advisable to rotate front and rear tires approximately every 40,000 kilometers to balance wear; Replace tires when surface wear reaches the triangle indicator mark to prevent safety hazards; After replacing or repairing tires, perform wheel alignment and balancing to prevent abnormal vibrations during high-speed driving; Avoid driving at high speeds over potholes to prevent tire blowouts.

How many questions are there in Subject 1?

There are 100 questions in the Subject 1 test for the driver's license examination. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," the test consists of 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 test and end the examination. Subject 1, also known as the Subject 1 theory test or driver theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. The test content includes theoretical foundations of driving, 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 content: Driver's license and motor vehicle management regulations; road traffic conditions and regulations; road traffic safety violations and penalties; road traffic accident handling regulations; basic knowledge of motor vehicles; local regulations; knowledge of braking systems and safety devices for large and medium-sized passenger and freight vehicles; specialized knowledge for wheeled self-propelled machinery, trams, and trolleybuses. Subject 1 test precautions: During the Subject 1 test, students should pay attention to their attire. No slippers are allowed, and electronic devices and bags are prohibited in the examination room. Bring your ID card and queue to enter the waiting hall. Observe the precautions and procedures on the large screen, and store personal belongings in the lockers before entering the examination room. Upon entering the examination room, the identity verification desk will assign a seat. After finding your seat, begin the test. Ensure the camera is aligned with you and follow the test discipline. If you fail the first time, there is a same-day retake. If you fail again, you must pay to reschedule. After the test, queue to collect your score report and sign it. Unsigned reports are considered invalid. There is no limit to the number of times you can schedule 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 ends, and the applicant must reschedule. For Subject 2 and Subject 3, there are only five test attempts. Subject 2 and Subject 3 tests can be scheduled ten days later. If you fail the Subject 3 safe driving knowledge test, the previously passed road driving skills test scores remain valid. There are three subjects in the driver's license examination: 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 driving knowledge test. The safe driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject 3, so it is commonly referred to as Subject 4. However, the official term (as per the Ministry of Public Security Order No. 123) does not include Subject 4.
