Side parking left side is too wide because the steering wheel is turned too late. The specific reasons and correct operations are as follows: Specific reasons for the left side being too wide: The left side is too wide because when looking at the left rear wheel and the parking line in the left rearview mirror, the steering wheel is only turned all the way to the left when the left rear wheel has already touched the parking line and is about to enter the parking space. This will result in the right side being too narrow after parking. If the left side is too wide, you can only drive out and reverse again, because the steering wheel has already been turned all the way to the left during reversing, making it impossible to adjust. Correct operation: According to the normal operation, the steering wheel should be turned all the way to the left as soon as the left rear wheel touches the parking line in the left rearview mirror. If the car is too close to the left side, depending on the situation, turn the steering wheel back half a turn or more to allow the car to reverse further and increase the distance between the left side of the car and the parking line.

How many multiple-choice questions are there in Subject 4?

According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," there are a total of 10 multiple-choice questions in Subject 4, with 50 questions in the exam, each worth 2 points, totaling 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 includes various question types such as 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 hand signals, knowledge of traffic accident rescue and handling of common hazardous materials, comprehensive judgment of illegal behaviors 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 Driver's Licenses," there is no limit to the number of attempts for Subjects 1 and 4. If the first attempt on the day is unsuccessful, a retake can be conducted on-site. If still unsuccessful, a new appointment is required, and no retake fee is charged. However, it is important to note 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 results of any previously passed subjects will be invalidated. Subject 4, also known as the Subject 4 theory test or driver theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's 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 addition of a safety and civilization knowledge test, commonly referred to as "Subject 4," which assesses "driving ethics." Subject 4 is the colloquial term for the safety and civilization driving knowledge test under Subject 3 and is not a separate subject. Since this test is conducted after Subject 3, it is commonly referred to as the Subject 4 exam. Officially, there is no Subject 4. The safety and civilization driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject 3. Subject 4 Exam Notes: Exam Duration: The exam lasts 30 minutes, and answering 12 points (6 questions) incorrectly will terminate the exam. Number of Questions: Depending on the type of license being tested, 50 questions are selected proportionally from the Subject 4 question bank. For car licenses, questions are selected from 800, and for large vehicle licenses, from 1,023. Each question is 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 also includes animated questions, image questions, scenario identification questions, and text-based questions. Retake Notes: If Subject 4 is not passed, only Subject 4 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 4. The driving test consists of three subjects: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3, with Subject 3 divided into two parts. Subject 1 refers to the road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge exam. Subject 2 refers to the field driving skills exam. Subject 3 refers to the road driving skills and safety and civilization driving knowledge exam.

How is a car's mileage calculated?

Calculated through a mechanical odometer or electronic odometer. The following is a related introduction about odometer mileage calculation: 1. Mechanical odometer: The mechanical odometer consists of a worm gear mechanism and number wheels. When the car is moving, the drive shaft drives the first number wheel on the far right of the odometer through three pairs of worm gears, displaying 1/10km on the first number wheel. From the first number wheel to the left, every two adjacent number wheels form a 1:10 transmission ratio through their internal teeth and carry-over gears. When the first number wheel completes a full rotation from 9 to 0, the internal gear drives the second number wheel to rotate 1/10 of a turn, increasing the count by 1km. When the second number wheel completes a full rotation from 9 to 0, the third number wheel to its left rotates 1/10, increasing the count by 10km. The display and counting method of the remaining number wheels, from low to high, follow the same principle, thus displaying the car's mileage. 2. Electronic odometer: The electronic speed odometer consists of a speed sensor (installed on the worm gear component of the transmission on the wheel, either photoelectric or magnetoelectric), a microcomputer processing system, and a display. The photoelectric or magnetoelectric pulse signals transmitted by the sensor are processed by the microcomputer inside the instrument and displayed as speed on the screen. The odometer calculates and displays the mileage based on the speed and accumulated running time, processed by the microcomputer.

What are the main components of a car?

Here is an introduction to the main components of a car: 1. Body: The body is the space where drivers and passengers work or ride, and it is also used to carry goods. Depending on whether the car has a frame, the body is divided into monocoque (unibody) and body-on-frame structures. The body mainly consists of the subframe, body shell, and body panels. 2. Chassis: The chassis receives power from the engine, enabling the car to move and operate normally according to the driver's control. The chassis is mainly composed of four parts: the transmission system, running gear, steering system, and braking system. 3. Engine: The engine is the 'heart' of the car, providing the power for the vehicle. Currently, engines can be classified into diesel engines and gasoline engines based on the fuel they use. 4. Electrical equipment: Primarily consists of the power supply system, electrical devices, and distribution equipment. It functions like a dense network, connecting various components of the car together, while also acting like a commander, coordinating the work of each part.
