What is the correct answer when the engine suddenly stalls during driving in Subject 4?
2 Answers
When encountering this question, simply choose the answer that suggests gradually slowing down and pulling over to the roadside. Upon discovering that the engine has suddenly stalled, immediately turn on the right turn signal, gradually slow down, and pull over to the roadside. Then, retrieve the parking warning sign and place it 50 meters behind the vehicle. Call for assistance and wait for help. Additional information: 1. Origin of Subject 4: Subject 4, also known as the theoretical exam for Subject 4 or the driver's theoretical exam, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. After the implementation of the "Ministry of Public Security Order No. 139 of the People's Republic of China," the Subject 3 exam was divided into two parts: the road test and an additional safety and civilized driving knowledge test, commonly referred to as "Subject 4," which assesses "driving ethics." Since this exam is conducted after Subject 3, it is commonly referred to as the Subject 4 exam, although officially, there is no such term as Subject 4. 2. Exam opportunities for Subject 4: After successfully scheduling the Subject 4 exam, you have two immediate attempts. If you fail the first attempt, you can retake it immediately. If you fail the second attempt as well, you will need to reschedule the exam. There is no limit to the number of times you can reschedule the Subject 4 exam.
I've been driving trucks for long-haul trips for over a decade and have encountered engine stalling quite a few times. If the engine suddenly stalls while driving, don't panic—keeping a clear head is crucial. Immediately turn on the hazard lights to alert vehicles behind you that there's an issue. Then, steady the steering wheel and avoid slamming on the brakes. Instead, gradually release the accelerator or clutch and try to shift into neutral to coast for a short distance. Simultaneously, quickly attempt to restart the engine—turn the key to see if it can fire up. If that doesn’t work, use the vehicle's momentum to slowly glide to a safe spot on the roadside. Never force a stop in the middle of the road. Once parked, briefly check the fuel gauge, battery, etc., or call for help from the roadside. Remember, this situation aligns with the core of the driving test's emergency protocols: staying calm is priority number one, ensuring your safety and others', and preventing secondary accidents.
