The economical speed for second gear in a manual transmission is 25-40 km/h. Starting in low gear: Generally, first gear is used, with an economical speed of 15-20 km/h. Uphill gear selection: When driving continuously uphill, lower gears (1st or 2nd) should be used. The economical speed for 2nd gear is 25-40 km/h to ensure sufficient vehicle power. Downhill gear selection: When driving continuously downhill, lower gears (2nd or 3rd) should be used. The economical speed for 3rd gear is 40-60 km/h to prevent excessive speed and avoid prolonged brake usage, thus protecting the brake pads.

Can You Start Practicing for Subject Two Only After Completing Subject One?

You can begin learning the Subject Two curriculum as arranged by the driving school after completing Subject One. The exam for Subject Two can be scheduled online 10 days after passing Subject One. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," the registration requirement for Subject Two is completing 26 study hours, including 2 hours of theoretical knowledge, 3 hours of simulated driving, and 21 hours of practical training. For a C1 license, the Subject Two exam can be scheduled online 10 days after passing Subject One. Each Subject Two exam appointment allows for two attempts. If the first attempt is unsuccessful, a free retake is available. If the retake is not attended or is still unsuccessful, the exam session ends, and you can reschedule the Subject Two exam after 10 days. Within the validity period of the driving permit, the Subject Two exam can be scheduled up to 5 times. If the fifth attempt is still unsuccessful, the results of other passed subjects will be invalidated. To continue learning for the driving permit, you must restart the process by scheduling Subject One again. Subject Two Exam Content: Driving a motor vehicle within a designated area to complete exam tasks; demonstrating mastery of vehicle driving skills; and assessing the ability to judge the spatial position of the vehicle. Subject Two, also known as the small road test, includes five mandatory tasks: reverse parking, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, right-angle turns, and curve driving. Subject Two Exam Tips: After getting into the car, always adjust the seat and mirrors to a suitable position and state, and ensure the seatbelt is fastened. For parallel parking, find the correct angle quickly, turn the steering wheel rapidly, and react promptly to match the vehicle's speed. On slopes, remember to engage the handbrake when stopping. When starting, signal left, release the handbrake, and stabilize the clutch while gently pressing the accelerator to avoid stalling or rolling back. For right-angle turns, identify the turning point quickly and steer in sync with the vehicle's speed to prevent deviation. For curve driving (S-turns), slow down. Those with good driving sense may navigate smoothly in one go. During reverse parking, control the speed, identify reference points, and make minor adjustments if deviations are noticed in the mirrors. The driving test consists of three subjects: Subject One, Subject Two, and Subject Three. Subject One covers traffic laws, regulations, and related knowledge. Subject Two assesses driving skills in a designated area. Subject Three includes two parts: on-road driving skills and safety and civilized driving knowledge. The safety and civilized driving test is conducted after Subject Three, commonly referred to as Subject Four, though the official term (as per Public Security Ministry Order No. 123) does not include "Subject Four."

What happens if I don't bring my ID card for the Subject 1 test and don't take the exam?

If you don't bring your ID card for the Subject 1 test and don't take the exam, and also don't cancel it, it will be considered as a failed test. If you don't have your ID card, you can apply for a temporary ID card. A temporary ID card has the same validity as a formal ID card. The admission ticket and other documents are handled by the driving school, which will distribute them during the test. Electronic ID cards cannot be used for the exam. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses", on the day of the Subject 1 test, you can take the exam twice. If you fail the first time, you can retake it for free the second time. If you still fail the second time, the Subject 1 test will be terminated, and you can only reschedule the exam after ten days. The Subject 1 test for the driving license consists of 100 questions, divided into single-choice questions and true/false questions, with each question worth 1 point, totaling 100 points. If you answer 11 questions incorrectly during the test, the system will automatically submit the exam and end the test. The Subject 1 test is a computer-based exam, and the test duration is 45 minutes. The content of the Subject 1 test includes: regulations on driving licenses and motor vehicle management; road traffic conditions and regulations; road traffic safety violations and penalties; regulations on road traffic accident handling; 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. Notes for the Subject 1 test: During the Subject 1 test, students should pay attention to their attire. Slippers are not allowed, and electronic devices and bags are not permitted in the exam room. Bring your ID card and queue to enter the waiting hall. Observe the notes and procedures on the large screen, and place personal belongings in the lockers before entering the exam room. Upon entering the exam room, the identity verification area will assign seats. After finding your seat, start the exam. Ensure the camera is aligned with you and follow the exam rules. If you fail the first time, you can retake the exam on the same day. If you fail again, you will need to pay and reschedule. After the exam, queue to collect your score report and sign it. If you don't sign, it will be considered invalid. There is no limit to the number of times you can reschedule the Subject 1 test. Each subject can be taken once, and if you fail, you can retake it once. If you don't take the retest or fail the retest, the exam will be terminated, and you must reschedule. For Subject 2 and Subject 3, there are only five exam attempts. Subject 2 and Subject 3 tests can be rescheduled after ten days. If you fail the Subject 3 safe driving knowledge test, the previously passed road driving skills test results remain valid. There are three subjects in the driving test: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3. Subject 1 refers to the road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge test; Subject 2 refers to the field driving skills test; Subject 3 is divided into two parts: road driving skills and safe driving knowledge test. The safe driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject 3, so it is commonly referred to as Subject 4. However, in the official terminology (i.e., the Ministry of Public Security Order No. 123), there is no such term as Subject 4. The test duration is 45 minutes.

Can a Gasoline Car Run on Diesel?

Gasoline cars cannot run on diesel for the following reasons: 1. The fuel injector pressure is insufficient, causing diesel to only partially atomize and enter the cylinder in liquid form, leading to incomplete combustion, carbon buildup, and clogged injectors; 2. Before the spark plug ignites, the high-pressure mixture reaches the auto-ignition temperature, resulting in violent combustion, abnormal pressure in the combustion chamber, and potential engine damage, including cylinder scuffing. Gasoline is a volatile, flammable hydrocarbon mixture liquid derived from petroleum through distillation or cracking processes, primarily composed of aliphatic hydrocarbons, naphthenes, and a certain amount of aromatic hydrocarbons, used as fuel.

What is the ignition timing advance angle for a car?

Car ignition timing advance angle varies depending on engine conditions: 1. The ignition advance angle for gasoline engines is approximately 10 degrees; 2. The ignition advance angle for diesel engines is around 15 degrees. The ignition advance angle refers to the crankshaft rotation angle from the moment the spark jumps between the spark plug electrodes until the piston reaches top dead center. The effects of excessive ignition timing advance are: 1. Combustion occurs entirely during the compression stroke, causing a sharp rise in cylinder pressure; 2. High pressure is reached before the piston reaches top dead center, creating significant resistance for the ascending piston; 3. Engine power decreases, leading to knocking.
