According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," for the road driving skills and safe civilized driving knowledge test in Subject 3, a score of 90 points is required to pass. Each wrong answer deducts 2 points, and you can only make 5 mistakes; exceeding this number results in failure. The full score is 100 points. Questions 1-10 are true/false questions; questions 11-40 are single-choice questions; and questions 41-50 are multiple-choice questions. The test includes image analysis, animated case studies, and text descriptions. The scope of Subject 4 covers driving knowledge under adverse weather and complex road conditions; identification of common traffic signs, markings, and gestures; accident rescue and handling of common hazardous materials; comprehensive judgment of violations and case analysis; emergency avoidance knowledge; safe driving knowledge; and driving ethics and civilized driving knowledge. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," there is no limit to the number of attempts for Subjects 1 and 4. If you fail the first attempt on the same day, you can retake it immediately. If you still fail, you need to reschedule the test, and no additional fees are required for retakes. However, it is important to note that the driving skills test permit is valid for three years. If the applicant does not complete the test within this period, the results of any previously passed subjects will be voided. Subject 4, also known as the theoretical test or driver theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driving license assessment. After the implementation of the Ministry of Public Security's Order No. 123, Subject 3 was divided into two parts: the road test and the safe civilized driving knowledge test, commonly referred to as "Subject 4," which evaluates "driving ethics." Subject 4 is the colloquial term for the safe civilized driving knowledge test under Subject 3 and is not a separate subject. Since this test is conducted after Subject 3, it is commonly called Subject 4. Officially, there is no Subject 4. The safe civilized driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject 3. Subject 4 Test Notes: Test Duration: The test lasts 30 minutes. If you lose 12 points (6 questions) during the test, the session will be terminated. Number of Questions: Depending on the type of license, 50 questions are randomly selected from the Subject 4 question bank in proportion. For car licenses, questions are drawn from a pool of 800, while for large vehicle licenses, they are drawn from 1,023. Each question is worth 2 points. Question Types: The test includes single-choice questions (including true/false questions) and multiple-choice questions. The first 45 questions are single-choice, and the last 5 are multiple-choice. The test also includes animated questions, image-based questions, scenario recognition questions, and text-based questions. Retake Notes: If you fail Subject 4, you only need to retake Subject 4. The driving school will schedule the retake, and there is no limit to the number of retakes. You can retake it until you pass, and no additional fees are required for retakes. There are a total of 3 subjects in the driving test: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3, with Subject 3 divided into two parts. Subject 1 refers to the test on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge. Subject 2 refers to the field driving skills test. Subject 3 refers to the road driving skills and safe civilized driving knowledge test.

Last year, I successfully passed the fourth subject of the driving test with a score of 90, which is the passing mark out of a full score of 100. The test consisted of 50 questions, mainly multiple-choice and true/false types, with each question worth about 2 points. Incorrect answers would deduct points, but the system would immediately show the correct answer. During preparation, I practiced daily on a mock test app and mastered it in two weeks, covering traffic signals, accident handling, and safe driving rules. The test duration was 45 minutes, which was stressful but staying calm is key—doing more practice helps grasp the essentials. The focus was on scenarios like yielding to pedestrians and emergency avoidance, which are crucial for actual driving. Remember, after passing, it takes a few days to get the driver's license, but this step is vital to ensure new drivers prioritize safety first.

Are China VI Standard Vehicles Fuel-Efficient?

China VI refers to vehicles with lower carbon emissions, meaning reduced pollution levels. The China VI emission standard is not directly related to a vehicle's fuel efficiency. Below are different scenarios regarding the fuel consumption of China VI standard vehicles: 1. Slightly higher fuel consumption in practice. Given China's actual conditions, it is highly possible that China VI vehicles may consume more fuel compared to China V emission vehicles of the same displacement and model. 2. Theoretically more fuel-efficient. From a theoretical perspective, higher emission standards imply more advanced engine technologies. Applications of new technologies such as turbocharging, direct fuel injection, variable valve timing, smaller displacement with higher compression ratios, and Atkinson cycle engines allow more complete combustion of the same amount of fuel, resulting in higher combustion efficiency. Theoretically, this should lead to better fuel efficiency, but this remains only a theoretical assumption.

What does a circle with an exclamation mark mean in Volkswagen?

Red exclamation mark (specifically a circle with an exclamation mark inside brackets), this represents a warning for the braking system, mainly indicating a brake system malfunction or low brake fluid level. Solution: Immediate inspection and repair of the braking system is required to avoid accidents. Apart from the red exclamation mark indicating brake system failure, all other exclamation marks in the car are yellow, representing general faults, automatic transmission faults, abnormal tire pressure, and lighting faults. Below is a detailed analysis of these four situations: General Fault: A triangle with an exclamation mark inside. If this symbol lights up, it indicates a fault in the car's general performance or components and functions. Mainly includes parking sensor failure, fuel cut-off system intervention or malfunction, external light failure, engine oil pressure sensor failure, etc. It is necessary to go to a 4S shop for inspection to identify the source of the fault. Automatic Transmission Fault: A yellow gear with an exclamation mark inside. This is the automatic transmission fault warning light, indicating a fault in the transmission or transmission lubricant below the normal range. Transmission oil needs to be replaced promptly. Abnormal Tire Pressure: A horizontal line under brackets with an exclamation mark in the middle. This represents the tire pressure monitoring warning light. When the car's tire pressure is too low, this warning light will illuminate. Check the car's tire pressure and restore it to the normal range. Lighting Fault: A yellow bulb with an exclamation mark. This is the lighting fault indicator, indicating a fault in the car's lights. Solution: Go to a 4S shop for inspection and repair as soon as possible, or you can check it yourself. Focus on commonly used bulbs such as turn signals, fog lights, and interior lighting to see where the problem lies.

Why Does the Car Make a Squeaking Noise When the Air Conditioner is On?

Here are the reasons for the abnormal noise when the car's air conditioner is on: 1. Air conditioner pump head. This type of fault mainly occurs at the engagement surface of the air conditioner electromagnetic clutch. If the electromagnetic clutch is worn, it can cause abnormal noise. If this is indeed the source of the problem, it is recommended to replace it. 2. Bearing performance. This refers to the compressor clutch bearing. This type of fault source usually occurs only when the air conditioner is operating and is directly related to acceleration. For this vehicle fault phenomenon, it is recommended to go to a repair shop for inspection. Here are the solutions for abnormal noise in the car's air conditioner: 1. Open the air filter cover under the glove compartment on the passenger side, cover it with a gauze bag, start the car, and turn the fan to the highest setting to blow out any foreign objects. Alternatively, go to a repair shop to have high-pressure airflow blow out the foreign objects. 2. Replace the refrigerant.
