The difference between individual appointment and driving school appointment for Subject 3 is that driving school appointment is faster because each driving school has a certain quota for each exam, while individual appointment offers more flexibility. Below are the relevant details: Subject 3 appointment tips: Currently, the Subject 3 exam appointment system is automatically sorted, and neither local vehicle management offices nor driving schools can manually intervene. Therefore, choosing to comply with the "system allocation mode" can to some extent improve the success rate of exam appointments, but the exam sessions and times will not be fixed. Try to avoid selecting exam venues that show congestion and opt for more remote ones. Notes: Within the validity period of the driving skill test permit, the number of appointment attempts for Subject 2 and Subject 3 road driving skill tests must not exceed five each.

Personal scheduling for Subject 3 means handling the booking process and exam preparation yourself, such as using the official app to check available times and select test centers, as well as arranging your own practice vehicles. The whole process is time-consuming and labor-intensive, saving some money but with high time costs. I've tried this method myself and felt it improved my independence, but when unexpected issues arise—like exam schedule conflicts or difficulty finding a practice car—you have to solve them on your own, which can be quite a hassle. In contrast, scheduling through a driving school means they handle these tasks for you, providing instructor guidance, practice vehicles, and familiarity with test routes, potentially leading to a higher pass rate. The main differences lie in autonomy and support services: personal scheduling is more like a hands-on challenge, while driving school scheduling suits those with tight schedules or beginners who prefer convenience. From my observation, choosing the right option depends on your personal resources—don’t just focus on saving money while overlooking convenience.

What Are the Common Causes of Car Malfunctions?

Common causes of car malfunctions include the exhaust pipe emitting blue smoke, white smoke from the exhaust pipe (more severe when cold and absent when hot), and engine noise. When stepping on the accelerator pedal while stationary, there may be abnormal "clunking" sounds, and vibrations in the engine compartment, among other issues. Blue smoke from the exhaust pipe is caused by excessive engine oil entering the cylinder but not burning completely. When removing the spark plug, severe carbon buildup may be found, the oil dipstick level may be too high, the gap between the cylinder and piston may be too large, the piston ring may be installed upside down, the intake valve guide may be worn or the seal may be damaged, or the cylinder gasket may be burnt, etc. White smoke may occur due to water in the gasoline or an engine that is too cold, causing the fuel entering the cylinder to not burn completely, resulting in mist or water vapor forming white smoke. Engine noise may be caused by obstacles on the road hitting the engine's underbody shield. If the shield is deformed, the distance between it and the engine oil pan becomes smaller, leading to collisions between the oil pan and the shield during acceleration, which produces abnormal noises and causes the car body to vibrate. Car Maintenance The car engine should be cleaned regularly. Over time, a thick layer of carbon buildup forms on the engine's surface, which can corrode the rubber components inside the engine. In summer, when temperatures are higher, gasoline and water evaporate more easily than usual. Therefore, it is important to frequently check the radiator and fuel tank, and promptly refill them when gasoline or water levels are low.

Is it okay to depress the clutch when driving a manual transmission car downhill?

It is not advisable to depress the clutch when driving a manual transmission car downhill. Coasting downhill with the clutch depressed can cause significant damage to the vehicle. Here are the details: Hazards of depressing the clutch downhill in a manual transmission car: When driving downhill, fully depressing the clutch is equivalent to coasting in neutral. In this state, the gear is in neutral, and the downhill speed in neutral is much faster compared to when not in neutral. If the vehicle's braking system fails, the driver may lose control of the car. However, if the car is in gear without depressing the clutch, the speed will be regulated by the engine's mechanism, effectively using the engine as a brake, which helps reduce the speed. Function of the clutch: The clutch is designed to engage or disengage the engine's power. In a manual transmission car, once a gear is engaged, the engine can drive the wheels, and the wheels can also drive the engine. Since the engine's speed is fixed, the wheels cannot drive the engine to rotate faster when going downhill, thus achieving the effect of engine braking.

Is Car Waxing Useful in Winter?

Car waxing is useful in winter. Below are the benefits of winter waxing and precautions to take: Benefits of winter waxing: Winter waxing can effectively protect against acid snow and resist corrosion. As temperatures drop in winter, the frequency of car washing decreases, making waxing in early winter the best strategy for paint maintenance. A waxed car body is less prone to water adhesion, reducing the likelihood of ice formation from condensation in winter. Precautions for winter waxing: Before waxing, wash the car body with car shampoo to remove dirt and dust. Avoid blindly using dish soap or soapy water, as the sodium chloride content can erode the paint layer, wax film, and rubber parts, causing the paint to lose its shine and rubber parts to age.

How to Defog a Car in Winter?

Methods to defog a car in winter include: 1. Open both side windows; 2. Turn on the air conditioning's external circulation; 3. Adjust the air vents to defog mode; 4. In winter, use the air conditioning's cooling and dehumidifying function to reduce air humidity; 5. In summer, use methods to reduce temperature differences for removal; 6. Wipe with a cloth dipped in dishwashing liquid or soapy water. The reason for fogging on the interior glass in winter is: The large temperature difference between the inside and outside of the car causes the higher temperature inside the cabin to condense moisture on the inner windshield, forming fog. Methods to prevent fogging on car interior glass include: 1. Wipe with an anti-fog cloth; 2. Spray anti-fog agent in advance.
