Officially, there is no Subject Four. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," the road driving skills and safety civilization driving common sense test in Subject Three requires a score of 90 points to pass. Each incorrect answer deducts 2 points, and only 5 mistakes are allowed; exceeding this 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 exam question types include image analysis, animated case studies, and text descriptions. The scope of Subject Four exam questions covers driving common sense under adverse weather and complex road conditions; identification of common traffic signs, markings, and hand signals; knowledge of traffic accident rescue and common hazardous material handling; comprehensive judgment of illegal behaviors and case analysis; common sense of avoiding danger in emergencies; safe driving common sense; and driving ethics and civilized driving common sense. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," there is no limit to the number of attempts for Subject One and Subject Four exams. If the first attempt on the same day is unsuccessful, an immediate retake is allowed. If it still fails, a new appointment is required, and no retake fee is charged. However, it should be noted that the validity period of the driving skill test permit is three years. If the applicant fails to complete the exam within the validity period, the scores of the previously passed subjects will be invalidated. Subject Four, also known as the Subject Four theory 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, the Subject Three exam was divided into two parts: the road test and the safety civilization common sense test. Subject Four is the colloquial term for the safety civilization driving common sense test under Subject Three and is not a separate subject. Since this test is conducted after Subject Three, it is commonly referred to as Subject Four. Officially, there is no Subject Four. The safety civilization driving common sense test is conducted after Subject Three. Subject Four exam precautions: Exam duration: The exam lasts 30 minutes. If 12 points (6 questions) are deducted during the exam, the session will be terminated. Number of questions: Depending on the type of driving license being tested, 50 questions are randomly selected from the corresponding Subject Four question bank, with each question worth 2 points. Question types: The exam 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 exam questions include animated questions, image-based questions, situational recognition questions, and text-based questions. Retake precautions: If Subject Four is not passed, only Subject Four needs to be retaken. The driving school will schedule the retake, and there is no limit to the number of retakes. No retake fee is required for Subject Four retakes. The driving test consists of three subjects: Subject One, Subject Two, and Subject Three. The Subject Three exam is divided into two parts. Subject One refers to the traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge test; Subject Two refers to the field driving skills test; and Subject Three refers to the road driving skills and safety civilization driving common sense test.

I just finished the Subject 4 exam and I'm so excited! The passing score is 90 out of 100, with 50 questions mainly covering safe driving and civilized road behavior. I used the 'Driving Test Treasure' app to practice, doing several mock exams before the test, ensuring I scored around 95 each time. On exam day, it took me 45 minutes to finish, and I got 5 wrong, just scraping by with 90. If you're preparing, don't just memorize—understand real-life scenarios, like how to react when pedestrians are crossing the street. This makes both the test and actual driving more reliable. After passing, you can get your driver's license—so happy! It feels like all the preparation was worth it, and the safety knowledge is really practical.

Why Do Large Vehicles Use Air Horns?

Air horns play a powerful warning role during driving. Principle of Air Horns: They generally consist of four main components: an air source, a control switch, a sound generator, and a sound amplifier. The air source is the origin of compressed gas, which can be either a DC electric air pump or the vehicle's own air supply. The control switch is typically an electromagnetic switch connected to the horn button in the cab. The sound generator mainly contains a diaphragm made of materials such as paper, silicone, or metal, which produces a whistle sound through high-frequency vibration. The sound amplifier has a tapered structure (narrow at one end and wide at the other) to make the sound louder and travel farther. Classification of Air Horns: Currently, there are two common types of air horns: electric air horns and electronically controlled air horns. Electric air horns use a DC motor-driven air pump to generate compressed air, which is then directed into the horn through an air tube to produce the whistle sound. This type of horn can be used on motorcycles and small cars.

Which intersections do not allow direct right turns?

When auxiliary signs such as 'No right turn on red' or 'Right turn prohibited when red light is on' are displayed at the intersection traffic signal, direct right turns are not allowed. Arrow-shaped traffic signals: A red prohibition arrow indicates that right turns are not allowed. Vehicles must strictly follow the traffic signals. Violating the traffic signal, whether going straight or turning right, is considered running a red light and results in a 6-point penalty. Circular traffic signals without additional signs: Motor vehicles can make a right turn at a red light without it being considered running a red light. However, drivers must yield to pedestrians and proceed with caution to avoid accidents. Circular traffic signals with additional signs: If there are restrictions for right-turning vehicles, drivers must stop and wait until right turns are permitted before proceeding.

How many cubic meters of stones can a tandem-axle truck carry?

Generally around 10 cubic meters. Dimensions are 5.2×2.3×1.2M. Structure of dump trucks: The dump truck adopts SINOTRUK's specialized dump truck chassis, with the cargo box floor and side panels welded from high-quality steel plates, making it particularly suitable for transporting materials such as stones, ores, steel blocks, and soil. The sub-frame serves as the foundational component for installing the lifting mechanism and cargo box, as well as a reinforced fixed connection with the truck chassis. Different models of dump trucks use alloy steel plates, pressed into channel-section longitudinal and cross beams and welded together. The rear of the sub-frame employs a triangular structure to increase the distance between the cargo box supports, ensuring stability during vehicle movement or lifting operations. Precautions: When unloaded or not in use for an extended period, ensure the top cover is retracted into the front visor. Before starting work each day, check that there are no debris on top of the cover to prevent it from being drawn into the visor when retracted, which could damage the cover. It is strictly prohibited to open or close the top cover while the cargo box is in a lifted position.

Why can oncoming vehicles go straight when the left turn light is green?

Oncoming vehicles can go straight when the left turn light is green because at intersections with only red, yellow, and green lights, vehicles can proceed in three directions when the green light is on. When going straight while both left turn and straight lights are green: This will be penalized as driving not in the specified direction, resulting in a fine and 2 demerit points. The rules for combined left turn and straight lanes depend on the direction of travel. If you need to turn left, check if the left turn signal is green; if you want to go straight, check if the straight light is green. When going straight while the straight light is green and the left turn light is red: This is usually treated as running a red light, resulting in a fine and 6 demerit points. If a left-turning vehicle causes an accident when there are no traffic signals, signs, or police officers, and it proceeds ahead of straight-going vehicles at the intersection, the left-turning vehicle will bear full responsibility.

Will Using Wipers on a Dusty Windshield Cause Scratches?

Using wipers on a dusty windshield will not cause scratches. Maintaining cleanliness: When there are streak marks on the glass surface, the wiper blade may be dirty. You can sprinkle alcohol on a towel and wipe the surface of the wiper blade. Cleaning it once a month can improve the performance of the wipers. Checking the rubber: If the wipers make unusual noises while operating, the rubber blade may be aging or cracked. If the wear is not severe, you can use sandpaper to smooth out rough spots on the surface. Avoiding sunlight: Park the car in a shaded area where it is not exposed to sunlight, such as a garage. Summer is a season that can be particularly harsh on cars. Wiper blades are rubber products, and exposure to sunlight will only accelerate their aging process. Refilling fluid: Adding plain water directly to the windshield washer fluid reservoir is not conducive to the long-term maintenance of the windshield or wiper blades. To ensure the longevity of the components, always use a proper windshield washer fluid. Refill the washer fluid promptly to be prepared for unexpected needs.
