The age requirement for applying for an A1 driver's license is between 26 and 50 years old. Other conditions are as follows: Height must be at least 155 cm; visual acuity must be at least 5.0 on the logarithmic visual acuity chart (either naked or corrected vision); no red-green color blindness; ability to distinguish the direction of sound sources with each ear at 50 cm from a tuning fork; both thumbs must be intact, and each hand must have at least three other intact fingers with normal limb and finger movement functions; both lower limbs must be intact with normal movement functions, with no more than 5 cm difference in length, and no movement dysfunction. A1 licenses can only be obtained through license upgrades and cannot be applied for initially like C1 or B2 licenses. Starting from the most common C1 license, you must first upgrade to A3, B1, or B2 before upgrading to A1. You must have held an A3, B1, or B2 license for at least five years and have no record of accumulating 12 penalty points in the current scoring cycle or the last five consecutive scoring cycles to upgrade to A1. If upgrading from A3, B1, or B2 to A2 and then to A1, the requirements are: holding an A2 license for at least two years and having no record of accumulating 12 penalty points in the previous scoring cycle. According to Article 12 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," applicants must meet the following requirements: For small cars, small automatic transmission cars, small automatic transmission passenger cars for the disabled, or light motorcycles, the age requirement is between 18 and 70 years old. For low-speed trucks, three-wheeled cars, ordinary three-wheeled motorcycles, ordinary two-wheeled motorcycles, or wheeled self-propelled machinery, the age requirement is between 18 and 60 years old. For city buses, large trucks, trolleybuses, or trams, the age requirement is between 20 and 50 years old. For medium-sized buses, the age requirement is between 21 and 50 years old. For tractors, the age requirement is between 24 and 50 years old. For students undergoing full-time driving vocational education applying for large buses or tractors, the age requirement is between 20 and 50 years old. A1 license permits driving the following vehicle types: large buses with more than 20 passengers, as well as passenger vehicles with a body length exceeding 6 meters. Other permitted vehicle types include: A3 (city buses), B1 (medium-sized buses), B2 (large trucks), C1 (small cars), C2 (small automatic transmission cars), C3 (low-speed trucks), C4 (three-wheeled cars), and M (wheeled self-propelled machinery).

What to do if a BMW car key gets wet and stops working?

If the car key gets wet and the buttons stop working, you can go to a 4S shop or a nearby auto parts market for repairs, but the repair depends on the extent of damage to the circuit board. If the damage is severe and repair is no longer necessary, you can directly go to a repair shop or 4S shop to replace the car key with a new one. When the car key gets wet, immediately wipe the surface of the key dry, then disassemble the key and let it dry. Be sure to evaporate all the moisture inside the key. Clean the disassembled key with alcohol to accelerate water evaporation and completely remove the water that entered.

How to Determine the Distance to Vehicles on Both Sides?

Knowing the width of the vehicle and predicting its trajectory, look forward to the point where the left edge of the hood is perpendicular to the ground, which is the middle of the left headlight. Based on the vehicle model, after determining the position of the tires, it is necessary to reserve 50 centimeters of space to the right to ensure safe passage and avoid minor deviations that could cause scratches. To observe the right side, it is best to use the right rearview mirror to check the distance between the vehicle and the adjacent curb or markings, and then look at the hood and the curb or markings ahead. The correct distance on the right side should be 20 centimeters to the right from the middle of the vehicle's hood for a safe distance.

What to Do If Your Car Is Scratched by Someone Who Flees the Scene?

When your car is legally parked and gets scratched by another vehicle, report it to the police immediately. If the other driver flees the scene, provide the license plate number to the authorities if you have it. When parking your car in a certain spot, it's important to know whether it's within a blind spot or not. Under surveillance, the license plate number of the vehicle that caused the scratch can be clearly identified. If another vehicle scratches your car, the dashcam will usually activate automatically to record the incident, capturing all the necessary details.

How to Start Quickly with a Manual Transmission?

Press the clutch pedal all the way down and release it slowly. Quickly lift the clutch to the semi-engaged point, and when the car starts to vibrate, stop lifting your left foot and hold the clutch steady. When starting, shift into first gear first, slowly release the clutch, and apply the throttle at the semi-engaged point. Only release the clutch completely once the car starts moving. Lightly press the accelerator with your right foot until the RPM reaches around 1300-1500, then slowly release the clutch with your left foot while simultaneously applying more throttle with your right foot. Shift gears when the engine RPM is around 2000. First reduce the throttle, then press the clutch pedal down to prevent forced disengagement, and then shift gears. The gear shifting sequence must be first gear → second gear → third gear → fourth gear → fifth gear. Downshift according to the vehicle speed.

What is the distance on both sides when reversing into a parking space?

For the Subject 2 parking test, a distance of 30cm on both sides is ideal. The distance requirement refers to the space between the parking spot corners and the left and right sides of the vehicle. As long as the solid lines are not touched during the entire reversing process, and after parking, one side being wider and the other narrower is acceptable. A distance between 25cm and 40cm is permissible. When reversing into a parking space, observing the distance between the vehicle body and the parking spot corner through the rearview mirror can be inaccurate. Estimating the distance between the rear wheel's contact point and the parking spot corner via the rearview mirror may differ from the actual distance, so regular practice is needed to account for this discrepancy. Here are the methods for controlling the distance from the edge line when reversing into a parking space: When you see the right parking spot corner in the rearview mirror while reversing, as the vehicle moves backward, before the right rear wheel reaches the parking spot entrance, accurately judge the distance between the vehicle body and the corner, ideally maintaining a 20cm distance. If a 20cm distance cannot be maintained and the wheel is at risk of touching the right parking spot corner, immediately turn the steering wheel to the left. The amount to turn depends on the distance between the vehicle body and the right edge line, as well as the speed of the vehicle. Ensure the vehicle body is parallel to the parking space edge line with roughly equal distances on both sides. Simultaneously, keep an eye on the lower edge of the left rearview mirror and the parking space edge line. When the edge line aligns with the left rearview mirror, press the clutch and brake to stop, completing the right-side parking maneuver.
