The correct way to self-rescue when a car falls into water is to open the car doors and windows immediately to escape. Here is some relevant information: 1. Essential tools in the car: Always keep tools like window-breaking hammers and crowbars in the car. This way, whether it's due to the car falling into water or other traffic accidents, you can quickly break the window to self-rescue. It's important to note that when using a window-breaking hammer or crowbar to break the window, aim for the four corners of the window, as these are the weakest points and can be easily broken. Stay calm and avoid panic during the operation. 2. Trunk escape: Since most cars are front-heavy and rear-light, the front of the car will sink first when it falls into water, while the rear will tilt upward. At this point, before the water submerges the rear of the car, quickly climb to the back seat and open the trunk to escape.

What is the difference between self-scheduling and driving school scheduling for Subject 3?

The difference between self-scheduling and driving school scheduling for Subject 3 is that driving school scheduling is slightly faster than self-scheduling. Below is a partial introduction about Subject 3: 1. Driving school scheduling: Generally, scheduling through a driving school is faster, as each driving school has a certain quota for each exam session. Self-scheduling online, on the other hand, requires a longer waiting period in the queue. 2. Online self-scheduling: The driver scheduling system mainly includes user registration for trainees, driving license application scheduling, Subject 1 exam scheduling, Subject 2 exam scheduling, Subject 3 exam scheduling, and safe and civilized driving. However, this method can be more cumbersome and time-consuming. Scheduling a driving test requires passing the training successfully.

Is ETC Mandatory?

ETC is not mandatory. According to the State Council's regulations, vehicles without ETC in 2020 cannot enjoy toll discounts. In the future, only one manual lane will be retained at highway toll stations, and tolls can only be paid through manual lanes. Additionally, newly installed ETC devices cannot be used on highways immediately; they need to be activated first. During free holiday periods, vehicles with ETC can still use highways, and no fees will be deducted for ETC users passing through ETC lanes. ETC Billing Principle: Highways will have one or more ETC lanes. Through dedicated short-range microwave communication between the vehicle's electronic tag (installed on the windshield) and the microwave antenna in the ETC lane, the system uses computer networking technology to settle payments with banks in the background. This allows vehicles to pay tolls without stopping at toll stations, all based on the principle of "pass first, deduct later." Benefits of Installing ETC: Time-saving: Eliminates the hassle of waiting in queues. Green and eco-friendly: Promotes low-carbon travel by reducing noise and exhaust emissions since vehicles don't need to stop at toll stations. Cost-saving: Reduces vehicle wear and fuel consumption by minimizing frequent starts and stops. Users also enjoy a 5% discount on toll fees. Improved efficiency: ETC lanes can theoretically increase traffic flow efficiency by 2-3 times, making traditional ETC faster, more advanced, and more high-tech. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous. More policy support: The State Council explicitly stated in the "13th Five-Year Plan for the Development of a Modern Comprehensive Transportation System" that "by 2020, intercity transportation cards should be widely interoperable in key urban clusters, and the adoption rate of ETC in vehicles should significantly increase." It also set a goal of "achieving a 50% ETC usage rate for road passenger vehicles by 2020" in the main indicators for comprehensive transportation development during the "13th Five-Year Plan." Future possibilities: Beyond improving the convenience of ETC installation and increasing ETC adoption rates for passenger vehicles, efforts will be made to promote ETC usage for trucks. There will also be exploration into deeper integration between ETC systems and smart transportation developments like vehicle-to-vehicle communication and vehicle-to-infrastructure coordination, providing comprehensive travel services for car owners. This means more application scenarios will support ETC usage in the future.

What is a 3-wire crankshaft position sensor test?

3-wire crankshaft position sensor test is used to determine the position of the crankshaft. Here is part of the introduction about the 3-wire crankshaft position sensor test: 1. Crankshaft sensor: It usually works together with the camshaft position sensor to determine the basic ignition timing. Generally, there are three types of crankshaft sensors: magnetoelectric induction type, Hall effect type, and photoelectric type. The most common magnetoelectric crankshaft position sensor is usually divided into 2-wire and 3-wire types. 2. Inside the sensor: Turn off the ignition switch, disconnect the crankshaft position sensor plug, and measure the resistance between terminal 1 and terminal 2 of the sensor, which should be 400-600Ω. If the reading is not within this range, it can be determined that the crankshaft position sensor itself is faulty and should be replaced.
