Driver's license application form, physical condition certificate, ID card, driver's license, white background photo. The examination content includes the following four types: 1. Subject 1: Road traffic, traffic signals, traffic safety violations and accident handling, regulations on the application and use of motor vehicle driver's licenses, motor vehicle registration, and other road traffic safety laws, regulations, and rules; 2. Subject 2: Testing reverse parking, mastery of motor vehicle driving skills, and the ability to judge the spatial position of motor vehicles; 3. Subject 3: The situation of driving a motor vehicle on the road to complete the test items, compliance with traffic laws and regulations, and the comprehensive control ability of the motor vehicle; correct use of lights, horns, seat belts, and other devices; the ability to correctly observe and judge road traffic conditions; 4. Subject 4: The knowledge related to safe and civilized driving in Subject 1 is listed separately, as well as safe driving skills under complex conditions and emergency handling in critical situations, which are conducted after the actual road driving test of 'Subject 3' to further test the candidate's traffic quality level.

Last time I went to renew my initial driver's license, I needed to bring several items. The original ID card is mandatory to prove it's you; don't forget the original driver's license either, as it's about to expire and needs renewal. The physical condition certificate must be obtained from a hospital, mainly covering vision, hearing, and a general health check to ensure you can still drive safely. Prepare a 1-inch white-background formal ID photo. For the process, I also made an appointment with the DMV in advance and filled out an application form on-site. If you forget to bring any materials, you'll make a wasted trip, so I recommend gathering everything together—it made the renewal process go smoothly. Also, a reminder: the initial renewal is usually valid for ten years, so keep an eye on the expiration date in the future.

What happens if the engine exhaust pipe is not connected?

If the engine exhaust pipe of a car is not connected, it may cause engine noise and abnormal engine operation. The vehicle may fail to meet emission standards, which also has an impact on the environment. Below are the functions of connecting the exhaust pipe in a car: 1. Promotes exhaust combustion: The car exhaust pipe extracts engine exhaust under certain specific conditions and sends part of the exhaust back to the intake manifold, where it mixes with fresh air-fuel mixture and re-enters the cylinder to participate in the combustion process. 2. Improves emissions: Since the exhaust cannot burn, it reduces the combustion speed and temperature inside the cylinder, thereby improving emissions and reducing the content of pollutants.

Can the Subject 4 test be taken every day?

Subject 4 can be taken every day, but it must be scheduled in advance. The relevant introduction to Subject 4 is as follows: Introduction 1: 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, the Subject 3 test was divided into two parts: the road test and the addition of a safe and civilized driving test, commonly known as "Subject 4," which assesses "driving ethics." Introduction 2: Because this test is conducted after Subject 3, it is commonly referred to as the Subject 4 test. However, there is no official term "Subject 4" in the actual regulations. The test paper consists of 50 questions, mainly in the form of case studies, pictures, animations, etc., with a full score of 100 and a passing score of 90.

Can I take the Subject 2 driving test by myself?

You can take the Subject 2 driving test by yourself, as there is no strict rule requiring you to go with your driving instructor. However, going with your instructor to the test site allows them to inform you about the test procedures or precautions to avoid mistakes during the exam. Before making an appointment, be sure to inform your instructor. According to national regulations, the theoretical study time for Subject 2 must be at least 2 hours, and the practical training must reach 22 hours. This also helps the instructor manage each student's test schedule and test site arrangements. If necessary, the instructor can arrange for a vehicle to pick up and drop off students on the test day. Subject 2 passing criteria: The test is scored out of 100, with deductions of 20 points, 10 points, or 5 points for various errors. A score of 80 or above is required to pass. Subject 2 test content: The test includes reversing into a parking space, parallel parking, straight-line turning, stopping and starting on a slope, and curve driving. Subject 2 is a crucial and the most challenging part of the driving license test. Subject 2 test precautions: Wear comfortable clothing before the test and be mentally prepared. Pay attention to key points when reversing into a parking space—avoid turning left or right. When parallel parking, ensure the rear wheels do not cross the edge line, adjust the distance properly, and remember to use the turn signal and honk. For sharp turns, steer the wheel decisively once you reach the designated spot. During curve driving, make wide turns after entering the curve, maintain a steady speed, and avoid crossing any lines. After the test, drive the car back to the starting position, sign to confirm, and then turn off the engine. Mock tests are designed to familiarize candidates with the test environment and allow instructors to point out areas where points are easily lost. Remember to bring your ID card to the test; without it, you cannot take the exam. Ensure your phone is turned off during the test, as any sound from the phone may be considered cheating.

Do I still need to step on the foot brake when shifting to N gear at a traffic light?

When shifting to N gear at a traffic light, you need to step on the foot brake. In daily driving, it is important to develop good driving habits. When waiting at a traffic light or during other stationary moments, always apply the brake when shifting to N gear to prevent the car from rolling due to uneven road surfaces, which could cause unnecessary trouble. The correct practice when waiting at a traffic light is to use "N gear + handbrake." This method does not harm the car, as N gear disconnects the engine from the transmission, while the handbrake prevents rolling or collisions. If the red light is short, you can use "N gear + foot brake," but for longer waits, it is better to engage the handbrake to free your feet. It is worth noting that some vehicles now come with an "autohold" function, which is an automatic handbrake. Once activated, the car will automatically brake when stopped, eliminating the need to shift from reverse or drive gears, keeping the vehicle in a parked state. However, not shifting to neutral can still pose safety risks, such as sudden acceleration if the accelerator is accidentally pressed, leading to potential collisions. Additionally, the auto start-stop function is also suitable for use at traffic lights, as it saves fuel to some extent and prevents exhaust fumes from entering the cabin when the engine is off.

Can Subject 4 Be Taken Indefinitely?

Subject 4 can be taken indefinitely, as there is no limit to the number of attempts for the Subject 4 exam. However, there are three important points to note: the number of exam applications for Subject 4, the time limit for the Subject 4 exam, and the relationship between Subject 4 and the driver's license. Number of Exam Applications for Subject 4: If you fail the Subject 4 exam, you can retake it immediately. If you fail the retake, you can schedule another attempt 10 days later. In theory, you can apply for retakes indefinitely. Unlike Subjects 2 and 3, which have limits on the number of attempts, Subject 4 can be taken repeatedly until you pass. Time Limit for Subject 4 Exam: Although there is no limit to the number of attempts for Subject 4, there is a time constraint. The validity period of the driving test permit is three years. Since Subject 4 is the final exam for obtaining a driver's license, it must be passed within these three years. This means you can take Subject 4 an unlimited number of times within the three-year validity period of the driving test permit. If the permit expires, you will need to reapply and retake all the exams. Relationship Between Subject 4 and the Driver's License: Subject 4 is a theoretical knowledge test conducted on a computer. The exam consists of 50 questions, including true/false, single-choice, and multiple-choice questions, each worth two points, totaling 100 points. Passing Subject 4 does not immediately allow you to drive on the road; you must wait until you receive your driver's license before you can legally drive. Subject 4 Exam Content: The main content includes safe and civilized driving requirements, safe driving knowledge in adverse weather and complex road conditions, emergency handling methods for situations like tire blowouts, and post-accident procedures.

What is the difference between D gear and S gear?

Here are the differences between D gear and S gear: 1. Different definitions: D gear stands for "Drive", representing the forward gear; S gear stands for "Sports", representing the sports gear. 2. Different responses: when driving in S gear, suddenly stepping on the accelerator will result in a quick response; when shifting up in D gear, the response speed is relatively gentle and requires a bit of waiting. 3. Different fuel consumption: while pursuing speed advantages, S gear also squeezes the output of power, resulting in higher fuel consumption; when in D gear, the transmission will switch between gears 1 to 4 based on speed and throttle conditions, belonging to the ordinary driving gear with lower fuel consumption. 4. Different power: S gear has strong power and is generally switched to when overtaking or climbing slopes; when operating in D gear, the engine power is minimal, used for driving on ordinary roads.
