What is Prone to Happen During Emergency Braking on Ice and Snow Roads?

Emergency braking on icy or snowy roads is prone to causing skidding. Here are the relevant details: 1. Impact: Due to slippery conditions, sudden steering can lead to the entire vehicle sliding, resulting in unwanted "drifting." After snowfall, road maintenance departments often spray chemical de-icers to prevent traffic disruptions. The melted snow contains acidic or alkaline substances that can severely corrode the vehicle's chassis, tires, and rims, shortening the vehicle's lifespan and even endangering the safety of the driver and passengers. 2. Precautions: When driving on icy or snowy roads, try to maintain a straight path and avoid frequent lane changes. When turning on snow or ice, always downshift and reduce speed. Take wide turns and avoid sudden steering or braking. On icy roads, braking distances increase at the same speed, so controlling speed and increasing the distance from the vehicle ahead ensures sufficient stopping distance and prevents rear-end collisions. Stay alert and focused when driving in snow. Maintain a steady, straight-line speed, steer gently, and apply the throttle and brakes softly—avoid abrupt or forceful movements. When entering shaded areas, slow down to prepare for unexpected icy patches.

Does Parking an Automatic Car on a Slope Cause Damage to the Vehicle?

Parking an automatic car on a slope can cause damage to the vehicle. Short-term parking on a slope has minimal impact, but long-term parking can cause significant harm, primarily affecting the handbrake system and the vehicle's suspension. Impact on the Handbrake System: The handbrake typically uses a steel cable to pull the brake shoes and secure the vehicle. When parked on a slope, the handbrake cable continuously bears the component of the vehicle's weight parallel to the slope. Over time, this can cause the cable to "fatigue," becoming increasingly loose and reducing the locking force of the handbrake until it loses its braking performance. Impact on the Vehicle's Suspension: When parked on a slope, the suspension on the downhill side bears greater pressure. While short-term effects are negligible, prolonged exposure can lead to premature aging of the front and rear suspension. Suspension aging affects ride comfort, may cause unusual noises when going over speed bumps, and can impair the vehicle's handling and tire lifespan.

What to Do After Passing the Subject One Test

After completing the Subject One test, if you pass, you can leave the examination room after signing under the guidance of the staff at the exit and start preparing for the Subject Two practice.

How many points are deducted for coasting in neutral during the Subject 3 test?

Coasting in neutral during the Subject 3 test results in a deduction of 100 points, which means an immediate failure. Here is some relevant knowledge about coasting in neutral during the Subject 3 test: Left and Right Turns: Mistakes related to coasting in neutral are common during left and right turns. If the clutch is pressed for too long during gear shifting, or if the gear is not successfully engaged without the driver realizing it, the system may judge it as coasting in neutral. Vehicle U-turns: During a U-turn, the driver needs to manage both the steering and observe road conditions, requiring multitasking. If the foot remains on the clutch for too long during gear shifting, or if the gear is not engaged, it may be judged as coasting in neutral. Gear Shifting (Acceleration/Deceleration): If the gear is shifted too quickly during acceleration or deceleration without staying in the gear for a few seconds, the system might not respond in time and could judge it as coasting in neutral.

If you do not attend the retake or fail the retake, the exam process ends for that attempt, and the applicant must reschedule the exam after ten days. Number of Subject 2 Retakes: Within the validity period of the driving skill test permit, the number of times you can schedule a road driving skill test for Subject 2 must not exceed five. Subject 2 Passing Criteria: For large passenger vehicles, tractors, city buses, medium passenger vehicles, and large trucks, a score of 90 or above is required to pass. For other vehicle types, a score of 80 or above is sufficient to pass.

Can I Schedule the Subject Four Exam After Passing Subject One?

After passing Subject One, you cannot directly schedule the Subject Four exam. However, the exams do not necessarily have to be taken in strict order. Subject Four is essentially the theoretical safety driving test of Subject Three. According to the latest driver's examination regulations, the order of Subject Two and Subject Three exams can be scheduled by the student based on their learning progress. However, the theoretical test of Subject Three (i.e., Subject Four) can only be taken after passing the actual road driving test of Subject Three. Driver's License Examination Process: After verifying the student's information, the driving school will arrange the Subject One exam. For Subject Two training, students must use their training card to access the designated training ground. The test items for small vehicles include reversing into a parking space, stopping and starting on a slope, parallel parking, curve driving, and turning at a right angle. The Subject Three exam covers basic road driving skills such as preparation before starting, starting, driving straight, gear shifting, changing lanes, pulling over, passing intersections straight, turning left and right at intersections, crossing pedestrian crossings, passing school zones and bus stops, meeting other vehicles, overtaking, making U-turns, and night driving. Subject Four mainly tests knowledge on safe and civilized driving operations, safe driving under adverse weather and complex road conditions, emergency handling methods for situations like tire blowouts, and post-accident handling knowledge.

Are Private Cars Required to Take Mandatory Breaks on Highways?

Private cars are required to take mandatory breaks on highways. Article 62 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law" states: If driving a motor vehicle continuously for more than 4 hours, the driver must stop to rest, and the rest time should not be less than 20 minutes. Regardless of the type of vehicle or whether it is on a highway, continuous driving for 4 hours requires a mandatory break of at least 20 minutes. This is clearly stipulated in traffic regulations, and penalties vary depending on the type of vehicle. For example, driving a medium or above passenger vehicle or a hazardous material transport vehicle without stopping for a break after 4 hours or resting for less than 20 minutes will result in a 12-point deduction. For other vehicles, violating this rule will lead to a 6-point deduction. After long-distance travel, cars also need rest, especially for moving mechanical components such as the engine, transmission, drivetrain, and cooling system, to prevent overheating and premature wear. When the driver takes a break at a service area, it is advisable to inspect the car's tires for issues like bulges, low pressure, or punctures to eliminate potential safety hazards. Due to high speeds during driving, hitting sharp objects like stones or nails can easily cause tire damage.
