When turning at an intersection, use the low beam. When about to meet another vehicle, use the low beam. When driving closely behind another vehicle at night in the same direction, use the low beam. Here are the specific details: High beam: Use the high beam correctly when driving on roads with low visibility. On poorly lit or unlit road sections, the high beam can be used. Alternating between high and low beams: When passing sharp curves, slopes, arch bridges, or pedestrian crossings at night, alternate between high and low beams at least twice. When passing through intersections without traffic signals at night, alternate between high and low beams at least twice. When overtaking a vehicle ahead at night, alternate between high and low beams at least twice. Parking lights and hazard warning lights: When temporarily parking by the roadside, use the parking lights + hazard warning lights. If the vehicle breaks down and obstructs traffic while being difficult to move, use the parking lights + hazard warning lights.

When I first started learning to drive, the light mnemonic chart for Subject 3 was a lifesaver. The basic mnemonic is: turn on the low beam first after getting in the car to ensure the correct position; when overtaking or changing lanes at night, turn on the left turn signal and switch between high and low beams twice to simulate flashing; when encountering oncoming traffic or meeting another vehicle, you must use the low beam and avoid dazzling with the high beam; before sharp turns or passing through intersections, flash the high and low beams once in advance. After memorizing the mnemonic, practicing simulated test scenarios a few times will help you get used to it. I used to practice hand gestures in front of the mirror at home every day, afraid of being flustered during the test, but I passed in the end. Now, driving feels much simpler and safer when it comes to light operations. The core of the mnemonic is to develop muscle memory. During the test, just follow the examiner's instructions and avoid nervous mistakes.

As a coach who frequently instructs trainees, I emphasize that the mnemonic for the lighting operations in Subject 3 must be memorized: After starting the car, immediately turn on the low beam as the default mode; when overtaking or changing lanes, quickly activate the left turn signal while switching between high and low beams twice to simulate flashing; when encountering oncoming vehicles, immediately switch back to low beam to avoid glare; for sharp turns, flash the high and low beams once in advance. The purpose of the mnemonic is to ensure safe responses to various situations during nighttime driving and avoid failing due to incorrect operations. The most common mistakes trainees make are slow switching or forgetting to return to low beam. I recommend practicing more with mobile apps for simulation and maintaining a calm mindset during the test to pass smoothly. Safety comes first—only with proper lighting can driving on the road be reassuring.

I got my driver's license decades ago, but the lighting mnemonic back then was quite simple: keep low beams on after turning on the headlights, flash high beams when changing lanes, switch to low beams during oncoming traffic, and flash once when turning. The mnemonic chart was just to help remember the sequence of test steps, so you wouldn't panic when the examiner gave instructions. Today's Subject Three might be more complex, my son said they've added tests like fog lights. The key point of the mnemonic is to develop habitual operations—proper use of lights in actual driving can reduce accidents. Master this, and once you pass the test, getting the license will be a breeze.

While accompanying my daughter in preparing for the Driving Test Part 3, we recited the lighting mnemonic daily: Start by turning on the low beam in basic mode when getting in the car; flash the left turn signal and toggle between high and low beams twice when overtaking; always switch back to low beam during oncoming traffic, avoiding high beams; flash once to switch before sharp turns. The mnemonic is simple and practical—I simulated giving commands while she practiced, restarting from the beginning if she made a mistake. Nervousness during the test can lead to forgotten steps, so I recommend reviewing video tutorials in advance to ensure standardized lighting operations for a safe pass. I also added some family tips, like adjusting the headlight angle not too high to protect others' vision.

Can You Carry Passengers During the Motorcycle Break-in Period?

Yes, you can carry passengers. The key during the break-in period is to avoid overloading and pay attention to the coordination of engine speed, gear selection, and throttle usage. Below is relevant information about the motorcycle break-in period: Concept of Break-in Period: The break-in period generally refers to the initial operation process where mechanical components come into contact, friction, and meshing. Precautions: Avoid emergency braking if possible: Emergency braking not only shocks the braking system during break-in but also increases the impact load on the chassis and engine. It is best to avoid emergency braking within the first 300 kilometers of riding. Avoid excessive load: If a new motorcycle is operated at full load during the break-in period, it can cause damage to the components. Therefore, within the first 1,000 kilometers of riding, the load should generally not exceed 75%-80% of the rated capacity.

Will Removing the Car Battery Cause Data Loss?

Removing the car battery will cause data loss, resulting in the loss of ROM or RAM information data. Here is some extended information: Precautions for Battery Replacement: Note that you must first disconnect the negative terminal before the positive terminal. Most models today use the negative terminal. If the positive terminal's head touches the frame first, it can cause a battery short circuit. During installation, the negative terminal should be connected before the positive terminal. This way, the data in the car will not be lost. ECU (Engine Control Unit): The ECU is different from a regular microcomputer; its motherboard does not have a CMOS (memory battery). Therefore, when power is cut off, it truly loses power. However, data storage should theoretically not be an issue, and current cars generally do not experience reset faults.

What are the reasons why new energy vehicles cannot be fully charged?

This is due to a fault in the power battery system, which prevents it from being fully charged. You should go to a service center for inspection. Below is relevant information about new energy vehicles: Basic Structure: Electric vehicles are mostly automatic transmission models. Structurally, pure electric vehicles rely on the three core components (battery, motor, and electronic control) as the power source. They do not have a traditional transmission system. According to the working principle of pure electric vehicles, they operate by supplying electrical energy from the battery to the motor, which drives the vehicle. Output Characteristics: New energy vehicles generally do not come equipped with multi-speed transmissions. The torque output characteristics of the motor eliminate the need for a "transmission" to coordinate the relationship between speed and torque.

Will the Insurance Company Compensate for Transmission Damage?

If the car transmission is damaged due to its own defects, the insurance company will not compensate. However, if the transmission suffers obvious impact damage in an accident, you can claim compensation from the insurance company. Below is additional information: Transmission Classification: Automotive transmissions mainly refer to the car's gearbox, which is divided into manual and automatic types. Manual transmissions primarily consist of gears and shafts, achieving speed and torque changes through different gear combinations. Automatic transmissions (AT), on the other hand, are composed of a torque converter, planetary gears, a hydraulic torque system, and a hydraulic control system, achieving speed and torque changes through hydraulic transmission and gear combinations. Manual and Automatic Transmissions: Manual transmissions mainly consist of gears and shafts, achieving speed and torque changes through different gear combinations. Automatic transmissions (AT) are composed of a torque converter, planetary gears, and a hydraulic control system, achieving speed and torque changes through hydraulic transmission and gear combinations.

Does the alternator belt need to be replaced after 6 years of use?

Alternator belts should be replaced after 6 years of use. Typically, alternator belts are replaced every 2 years or approximately 60,000 kilometers. Here is some extended information: Power source of the alternator belt: The alternator belt is the most important belt in a car, connecting components such as the alternator, air conditioning compressor, power steering pump, idler pulley, tensioner pulley, and crankshaft pulley. The power source of the alternator belt is the crankshaft pulley, which provides power through the rotation of the crankshaft and drives the operation of other components. Consequences of not replacing it in time: When small cracks appear on the surface where the belt contacts the pulley, it needs to be replaced. If the belt breaks, it can cause the alternator to stop generating electricity, the power steering pump to fail, and make steering difficult, which is a very dangerous situation.
