Here is a detailed introduction to the test drive process and precautions: 1. Signing the test drive agreement: Before the test drive, the 4S store usually requires signing a test drive agreement to clarify the responsibilities of both parties, such as how liability will be divided in case of an accident. 2. Understanding the test drive process: Generally, the test drive personnel will first demonstrate and operate the vehicle. During the drive, the primary focus should be on familiarizing yourself with the vehicle's controls and performance. Avoid changing lanes, accelerating, or braking abruptly. If acceleration is necessary, choose a suitable section of the road to avoid accidents during the test drive. 3. Safety measures: The test drive route is usually designated by the 4S store, but even designated routes can pose various risks. Ensure safety measures are in place. Both the test driver and accompanying personnel, whether in the front or back seats, should fasten their seat belts.

Should You Use a Sunshade Mat on the Car Dashboard?

Whether to place a sunshade mat on the car dashboard depends on personal preference, as it has both advantages and disadvantages. Here are the details: Advantages of using a sunshade mat: Sunshade mats, also known as anti-glare mats, are particularly useful for low-end car models where the dashboard is made of hard plastic. During daytime driving, sunlight reflecting off the dashboard can create glare on the windshield, impairing the driver's visibility. A sunshade mat effectively reduces this glare. Additionally, it helps protect the dashboard's plastic components, as well as internal electronic parts and wiring. Disadvantages of using a sunshade mat: The car's dashboard is designed with the overall interior aesthetics in mind, and placing a sunshade mat can significantly detract from its visual appeal. Low-quality sunshade mats may emit unpleasant odors or contain formaldehyde. If not cleaned regularly, they can accumulate dust and bacteria, polluting the air inside the car. Sunshade mats can also obstruct the deployment of airbags, posing a serious safety risk. Many mats come with double-sided adhesive, which can be difficult to remove from the dashboard and may damage its appearance. Additionally, some drivers tend to place items on the mat, which can easily slide off during sudden maneuvers, creating potential hazards.

Is the Volkswagen Bora a Domestic or Joint Venture Car?

Strictly speaking, the Bora is both a domestic car and a joint venture car. About the Bora: The Bora is a compact family car under FAW-Volkswagen. In 2001, FAW-Volkswagen introduced the fourth-generation Jetta and gave it the very down-to-earth Chinese name 'Bora.' It is precisely because of this down-to-earth name that many people assume the Bora, like the Lavida, is a China-specific model. In reality, the Bora is a genuine global model. About Joint Venture Cars: The definition of a 'joint venture car' is quite straightforward—it refers to models produced by joint venture companies. FAW-Volkswagen is a company jointly established by FAW Group and Volkswagen Group in the Chinese market, so FAW-Volkswagen is classified as a joint venture. Relevant Regulations: According to national laws, foreign automakers must collaborate with Chinese companies to invest and build factories in the Chinese market. This is why brands like Toyota, Honda, Buick, etc., all have a Chinese prefix in their names—Tesla being the only exception. The primary reason for this regulation was to help Chinese automakers 'learn advanced techniques' at the time. Indeed, through reverse engineering and imitation, Chinese automakers managed to cover in 20-30 years the same path that Western automotive industries took over 100 years to traverse.

How many days between retakes for Subject 1?

You need to wait 10 days before scheduling a retake. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," the Subject 1 retake allows two attempts on the same day. If you fail the first attempt, you can take a second one for free. If you fail the second attempt, the Subject 1 test is terminated. Subject 1, also known as the theoretical driving test or driver's theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driving license assessment. The test covers driving theory basics, road safety laws and regulations, local regulations, and related knowledge. The test is computer-based and has a time limit of 45 minutes. A passing score for Subject 1 is 90 points. The test consists of 100 questions, including single-choice and true/false questions, with each question worth 1 point (total 100 points). If you answer 11 questions incorrectly, the system will automatically submit the test and end the session. Subject 1 test content: Driving license and motor vehicle management regulations; road traffic conditions and rules; road traffic safety violations and penalties; road traffic accident handling regulations; basic knowledge of motor vehicles; local regulations; knowledge of braking systems and safety devices for large and medium-sized passenger and freight vehicles; specialized knowledge for wheeled self-propelled machinery, trams, and trolleybuses. Subject 1 test precautions: Candidates should dress appropriately (no slippers) and are not allowed to bring electronic devices or bags into the test center. Bring your ID card and queue to enter the waiting hall. Observe the instructions and procedures on the large screen, and store personal belongings in lockers before entering the test room. At the test center, verify your identity at the assigned station and begin the test. Ensure the camera is aligned with you and follow test discipline. If you fail the first attempt, you can retake it the same day. If you fail again, you must pay to reschedule. After the test, queue to collect your score report and sign it—failure to sign renders the result invalid. There is no limit to the number of times you can reschedule Subject 1. Each subject allows one test attempt, with one free retake if you fail. If you skip the retake or fail it, the test is terminated, and you must reschedule. For Subjects 2 and 3, there are only five attempts. Rescheduling for Subjects 2 and 3 must be done after 10 days. If you fail the Subject 3 safety and civilized driving knowledge test, your previously passed road driving skills test results remain valid. The driving test consists of three subjects: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3. Subject 1 covers road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge. Subject 2 is the field driving skills test. Subject 3 includes two parts: road driving skills and safety and civilized driving knowledge. The safety and civilized driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject 3, so it is commonly referred to as Subject 4. However, the official term (under the Ministry of Public Security Order No. 123) does not include "Subject 4."

When Will China 6 Standard Vehicles Be Available?

According to relevant national policies, the "China 6 Standard" is divided into two phases: "China 6a" and "China 6b," with nationwide implementation planned for July 1, 2020, and July 1, 2023, respectively. As early as 2019, some automakers began producing China 6-compliant models, and by mid-2020, all automakers ceased production of China 5 models. Below is additional information: 1. Registration Regulations: By 2021, only China 6-compliant models could be registered in all regions of China. While China 5 vehicles were not yet restricted from driving, they were completely banned from sale and could no longer be registered. Automakers, of course, did not sit idle, so all China 5 models were transitioned to China 6 by 2020. 2. Market Vehicle Standards: The "Announcement on Adjusting the Implementation Requirements for the China 6 Emission Standards for Light-Duty Vehicles" indicated that several regions could enjoy a clearance transition period for China 5 vehicles, but the deadline was only until December 31, 2020. This means that all vehicles sold in China by 2021 complied with the China 6 emission standard.
