The mnemonic for the lighting test in Subject One is as follows: Left turn signal: When turning left, changing lanes to the left, starting off, leaving a parking spot, or making a U-turn. Right turn signal: When turning right, changing lanes to the right, or pulling over to the side. Night driving: Use low beams when driving at night with good street lighting, and use high beams when driving at night without street lighting. Driving in fog: Turn on fog lights and hazard warning lights when driving in fog. Changing lanes: Turn signals must be used when changing lanes, except when entering a roundabout. Entering a roundabout: Do not use turn signals when entering, but use the right turn signal when exiting. Overtaking at night: Alternate between high and low beams.

The lighting mnemonic I learned when getting my driver's license is quite useful: turn left with the left turn signal, turn right with the right turn signal; always turn on front and rear fog lights in foggy or rainy weather; use low beams for night driving or when meeting other vehicles—avoid high beams as they can distract others; turn on hazard lights when parking for safety. Memorizing this mnemonic ensures minimal mistakes in the written test. I believe these rules aren't just for the exam—they're even more crucial in real driving. For example, not using fog lights in heavy fog makes it hard to see the road, increasing accident risks. During practice, simulate these scenarios often to understand the reasoning behind them—like using low beams in urban areas to avoid glare, or occasionally using high beams on highways but not excessively. Safety comes first—develop good habits early, starting from the test.

I've taught many beginners for their driving tests, and the lighting mnemonic is a key exam point: Left turn - left indicator, right turn - right indicator; fog lights for foggy/rainy weather; must switch to low beams when meeting vehicles; hazard lights when parked. Though brief, the test often examines details - like forgetting low beams on urban roads at night means point deductions. In actual driving, incorrect light usage can cause accidents, such as blinding high beams when meeting vehicles in mountainous areas. I recommend practicing with apps - mastering this mnemonic builds driving confidence too. After years of driving, I've realized lighting rules are safety fundamentals - fog lights dramatically improve visibility in harsh weather.

I've been driving for over a decade and still use the lighting mnemonic from the driving test: turn signals match direction, yellow lights for fog, and low beams for oncoming traffic. Memorizing this for the exam was simple yet practical, like failing for not signaling a left turn. Real-world driving emphasizes meaning, such as using fog lights in rain for better visibility. New drivers might overlook switching lights at night and make mistakes, but remembering the mnemonic prevents issues. Lighting knowledge keeps you safe on the road.

Is it permissible to drive in the opposite direction when encountering flooded roads during driving?

When encountering flooded roads during driving, observe whether there are any detour signs around. If detour signs are present, driving in the opposite direction is permissible; otherwise, such operation constitutes a traffic violation. Below are emergency strategies for encountering flooded roads: Pay attention to the water depth: When encountering flooded roads during driving, carefully observe the water depth. If the water depth exceeds the axle, it is not advisable to continue driving. Before entering a flooded area, maintain a considerable distance from the vehicle ahead. For unfamiliar roads, follow the path taken by the preceding vehicle to avoid encountering obstacles in the water. Drive in low gear: Use a low gear when entering water, supply fuel steadily, and proceed at a slow, constant speed without stopping in the water. After exiting the flooded road, do not suddenly shift to a higher gear and drive at high speed. Instead, repeatedly test the brakes while driving, moving intermittently to dry the brake pads through friction. Only resume normal driving after confirming the brakes are effective.

How long can vehicle annual inspection be delayed without penalty?

Vehicle annual inspection cannot be delayed without penalty. The correct car maintenance methods are as follows: 1. Avoid high-speed driving: New vehicles have speed limits during the initial running-in period. Domestic vehicles are generally limited to 40-70 km/h; imported vehicles usually require staying below 80% of maximum speed during the first 1,000 km when fully accelerating, while monitoring both engine RPM and speed gauges to maintain medium-range operation. Typically, engine RPM during break-in should be strictly maintained between 2,000-4,000 rpm. 2. Avoid overloading: Fully loading a new vehicle will damage components. Therefore, during the first 1,000 km, domestic vehicles shouldn't exceed 75%-80% of rated load capacity; imported vehicles shouldn't exceed 90%. Additionally, choose better road surfaces to minimize excessive vibration, impact, or emergency braking, reducing stress on the body and powertrain. 3. Never remove the speed limiter prematurely: The speed limiter is a throttle device installed between the carburetor and intake manifold. Drivers shouldn't remove it early but should wait until after the initial 1,000 km combined with maintenance. Imported vehicles usually don't have speed limiters, relying entirely on driver's speed control.

Is it okay for a motorcycle to run a red light?

Motorcycles are classified as motor vehicles. Running a red light while riding a motorcycle violates traffic regulations and will result in penalty points and fines. Criteria for determining a red light violation: Electronic cameras capture three photos as evidence for running a red light: the front wheel crossing the stop line, the rear wheel crossing the stop line, and the front wheel crossing the opposite stop line. Only when all three photos are present will it be considered a red light violation. How to avoid running a red light while driving: When there are arrow signals, follow the arrow lights; otherwise, follow the circular lights; When the red light is on, the front of the vehicle must not cross the stop line; When the yellow light is on, the front of the vehicle must not cross the stop line; When the green light just starts flashing, if you are close and moving fast, you should proceed, as braking might not stop you in time to avoid crossing the stop line; if you are far away, moving slowly, or the intersection is congested, you should stop; When driving in the city, develop the habit of looking for traffic lights whenever you see a crosswalk or stop line or approach an intersection.

Can Car Engine Oil and Motorcycle Engine Oil Be Mixed Together?

Motorcycle engine oil and car engine oil cannot be mixed. The differences between motorcycle engine oil and car engine oil are: durability differs, heat dissipation differs. Durability differs: Motorcycle engine oil: Because motorcycle engines generate more heat, motorcycle oil places special emphasis on high-temperature resistance. Additionally, motorcycle engines generally operate at higher RPMs, making durability a strong point of motorcycle oil. Car engine oil: Car engines generate less heat compared to motorcycle engines, so the durability of car engine oil is inferior to that of motorcycle oil. Heat dissipation differs: Motorcycle engine oil: Motorcycles typically have an oil capacity of 1-4L, so motorcycle oil generally has better heat dissipation than car engine oil. Car engine oil: Cars usually have an oil capacity of 5-7L, allowing them to utilize their larger oil volume for effective heat dissipation.

How long is the Talagon?

The Talagon has a length of 5152mm and a wheelbase of 2980mm, making it the largest SUV in the Volkswagen brand. Definition of vehicle length: The distance between the two extreme points in the length direction of the vehicle, measured from the most protruding point of the front bumper to the most protruding point of the rear bumper. Definition of vehicle width: The distance between the two extreme points in the width direction of the vehicle, which is the distance between the leftmost and rightmost protruding points. According to industry standards, the vehicle width does not include the width of the extended side mirrors, meaning the most protruding points should be selected when the mirrors are folded. Definition of vehicle height: The distance from the ground to the highest point of the vehicle. The highest point refers to the topmost position of the vehicle's roof, excluding the length of the roof antenna.
