According to the 'Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses', the road driving skills and safety & civilized driving knowledge test in Subject 3 requires a score of 90 points to pass. Each incorrect answer deducts 2 points, with a maximum allowance of 5 wrong answers (beyond which is considered a fail). The full score is 100 points. Questions 1-10 are true/false questions; 11-40 are single-choice questions; and 41-50 are multiple-choice questions. The test includes 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; recognition of common traffic signs, markings, and hand signals; accident rescue and hazardous material handling knowledge; 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 Driving Licenses', there is no limit to the number of attempts for Subject 1 and Subject 4. If you fail the first attempt on the same day, you can retake it immediately. If you still fail, you need to reschedule the test, and no additional fees are required for retakes. However, it is important to note that the validity period of the driving skills test permit is three years. If the applicant does not complete all tests within this period, the passed subject scores will become invalid. Subject 4, also known as the Subject 4 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, Subject 3 was divided into two parts: the road test and the safety & civilized driving knowledge test, commonly referred to as 'Subject 4', which evaluates 'driving ethics'. Subject 4 is the colloquial term for the safety & civilized driving knowledge test under Subject 3 and is not a separate subject. Since this test is conducted after Subject 3, it is commonly called Subject 4. Officially, there is no Subject 4. The safety & civilized driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject 3. Subject 4 Test Notes: Test Duration: The test lasts 30 minutes. If you lose 12 points (6 questions) during the test, the session will be terminated. Number of Questions: Depending on the type of license, 50 questions are randomly selected from the Subject 4 question bank. For car licenses, questions are drawn from a pool of 800; for large vehicle licenses, from a pool of 1,023. Each question is worth 2 points. Question Types: The test 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 test also includes animated questions, image-based questions, scenario recognition questions, and text-based questions. Retake Notes: If you fail Subject 4, you only need to retake Subject 4. The driving school will schedule the retake, and there is no limit to the number of retakes. You can retake until you pass, and no additional fees are required for Subject 4 retakes. The driving test consists of 3 subjects: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3, with Subject 3 divided into two parts. Subject 1 refers to the traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge test; Subject 2 refers to the field driving skills test; and Subject 3 refers to the road driving skills and safety & civilized driving knowledge test.

I recently took the Subject 4 test and just passed with the minimum score of 90. During preparation, I used the Driving Test Treasure APP for practice, doing one to two hours of mock tests daily. Questions about traffic signals and emergency handling were the easiest to get wrong, so I had to repeatedly review the wrong answer collection. The exam has 50 questions, each worth 2 points—missing five could be risky. It's advisable to aim for at least 95 in mock tests before the real exam. Don’t cram at the last minute; start two weeks early, stay relaxed, and ensure enough time. Mastering safety knowledge not only helps pass but also benefits actual driving.

As a frequent tutor, scoring 90 points to pass Subject 4 is the basic requirement, with questions covering all aspects of safe driving. Focus on key points during revision, such as right-of-way rules and responses to severe weather. Use mobile apps or official question banks to practice mock tests multiple times, avoiding mistakes due to nervousness during the exam. With a total score of 100, aiming for above 92 points is more secure, and retaking the test if not passed is not difficult. Mastering safety rules is crucial to prevent road risks—don't overlook the importance of theory.

As an older adult with a not-so-good memory, I passed the Subject 4 test on my second attempt, and the 90-point passing score seems fair. Every night before bed, I reviewed APP questions for half an hour and took notes on common mistakes like traffic violation handling questions. During the actual exam, take your time to read each question carefully—passing ensures you've grasped the basics, which is helpful for future driving. The study materials were simple and practical, easy to understand without needing professional jargon.

How much does an 18-liter barrel of engine oil weigh?

A barrel of 18-liter engine oil equals approximately 32.76 Chinese pounds. Here is some extended information about automotive engine oil: Grade Introduction: 'S' indicates suitability for gasoline engines, with 'N' being the highest grade for gasoline engine oil. 'C' denotes suitability for diesel engines, and 'F' represents the highest grade for diesel engine oil. Oil Introduction: Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant (English name: Engine-oil), has a density of approximately 0.91×10³ (kg/m³). It serves multiple functions in an engine, including lubrication and wear reduction, auxiliary cooling, sealing and leakage prevention, rust and corrosion protection, as well as shock absorption. Often referred to as the 'blood' of a car, engine oil consists of two main components: base oil and additives. The base oil is the primary constituent of lubricants, determining their fundamental properties, while additives compensate for and enhance the performance shortcomings of the base oil, imparting new characteristics, making them a crucial part of lubricants.

Is N the Reverse Gear?

N is not the reverse gear. Here is more information about the N gear: Definition: The N gear is one of the three standard gears in automatic transmission models, located between the R gear and D gear on the gearshift console. Its essence is the neutral gear in the transmission. Function: Its purpose is to cut off the power transmission between the input shaft and output shaft inside the transmission. Precautions: Automatic transmission vehicles should not coast in neutral under non-special circumstances, as it is not only unsafe but can also damage the transmission due to insufficient lubrication of gears and other parts caused by the transmission oil pump's inadequate oil supply. Additionally, the N gear is a pure neutral gear without a braking mechanism, requiring the use of the parking brake or brake pedal to park; otherwise, the vehicle may roll on uneven surfaces.

Why can't the tricycle shift gears?

It may be due to slippage in the hydraulic-operated clutch. Below is relevant information about vehicle gear shifting: Precautions: When downshifting, use the method of double-clutching with a blip of the throttle. The principle of downshifting with a throttle blip is: the faster the speed, the larger the "throttle blip"; the slower the speed, the smaller the "throttle blip"; at low engine speeds, the "throttle blip" should be larger; at high engine speeds, the "throttle blip" should be smaller; on flat roads, the "throttle blip" should be larger; when going uphill, the "throttle blip" should be smaller. Techniques: Gear shifting should be timely, accurate, smooth, and swift. When starting the vehicle, generally use the low gear (first gear). After starting, as long as road conditions permit, quickly and promptly shift up to higher gears.

Should You Turn Off the Air Conditioner When Exiting the Car?

When the car's air conditioner is not in use, whether you are exiting the vehicle or remaining inside, it is essential to turn it off promptly. Below is an introduction to automotive air conditioning systems: Air Conditioning Layout: Different types of air conditioning systems have varying layouts. Currently, most passenger cars widely adopt integrated heating and cooling air conditioning systems. The layout typically involves assembling components such as the evaporator, heater core, centrifugal blower, and control mechanisms into a single unit, referred to as the air conditioning assembly. Air Conditioning Components: Modern air conditioning systems consist of a refrigeration system, heating system, ventilation and air purification devices, and a control system. Automotive air conditioning systems generally include components such as the compressor, electronically controlled clutch, condenser, evaporator, expansion valve, receiver-drier, piping, condenser fan, vacuum solenoid valve, idle speed controller, and control system. The automotive air conditioning system is divided into high-pressure and low-pressure lines. The high-pressure side includes the compressor output side, high-pressure lines, condenser, receiver-drier, and liquid lines; the low-pressure side includes the evaporator, accumulator, suction lines, compressor input side, and compressor oil sump.
