When following a car, you should pay attention to: 1. The speed of the car in front: During driving, closely monitor the speed of the car in front and adjust the following distance in time; 2. The type of the car in front: When the car in front is a large bus or truck, and the following car is a small or mini car, the large vehicle ahead will block the view, making it impossible to judge the road conditions ahead, so a larger following distance is required; 3. Road conditions: Different roads have different braking distances. If the road surface has a small friction coefficient, the following distance should be increased; 4. Weather impact: When following a car in rain or snow, the slippery road surface will increase the unsafe braking zone, so the following distance should also be increased.

When following another car, I always remind myself to maintain a safe distance—at least two to three seconds, which varies with speed: keep several dozen meters at 60 km/h. Increase the distance further on rainy days when the road is slippery to avoid delayed braking. Keep a close eye on the brake lights of the car ahead; slow down as soon as they light up—don’t wait until the last moment to brake. Also, watch the road for potholes or oil spills to prevent rear-end collisions. Match your speed with the car in front—too fast risks a collision, too slow disrupts traffic. If the car ahead speeds up and slows down unpredictably, consider changing lanes to overtake. When carrying passengers, stay extra focused—chatting is fine, but avoid distractions like staring at your phone. Regularly check the brake pads and replace them if they’re heavily worn—safety comes first. These habits have helped me avoid traffic tickets.

What is the reason why the sunroof of the eighth-generation Accord can open but not close?

It is because the car's anti-pinch function is activated; simply turn off the anti-pinch function. Below are some related additional details: 1. The function of power windows: On one hand, it is to reduce the labor intensity of the driver and passengers, making operation very convenient; on the other hand, the rising speed of power windows is relatively fast, which may lead to accidents where passengers could get pinched. The anti-pinch function of power windows can safely address the potential hazards caused by power windows. When a car window encounters an obstacle while rising, it can automatically retreat to the bottom, preventing accidents. Many window anti-pinch functions use Hall sensors to determine the position of the glass. During the process of the car window glass rising, if something blocks the glass from rising, it will immediately stop rising. 2. The principle of the anti-pinch function: An additional set of current sensors is installed, with Hall sensors continuously monitoring the motor's speed. When the power window rises and the motor speed slows down, the Hall sensor detects the change in speed and reports it to the ECU. The ECU then sends instructions to the relay, causing the current to reverse, which stops or reverses (lowers) the motor. As a result, the window stops moving or lowers, providing a certain degree of anti-pinch functionality.

Skills and Methods for Parallel Parking in Subject 2

Parallel parking techniques are as follows: Start the car in low gear. When the driver aligns with the third reference point, turn the steering wheel to the right. When the car moves to the position where the front of the car is between the third and fourth reference points, quickly turn the steering wheel to the left to steer the front of the car toward the left side of the road. When the front of the car approaches the left edge of the road, quickly turn the steering wheel back and stop immediately. Shift the car into reverse gear and back up. When the rear of the car approaches the right edge of the parking space (garage), quickly turn the steering wheel to the left to the maximum position. When both sides of the car body are parallel to the edge of the parking space (garage), quickly straighten the steering wheel and stop. Precautions: Maintain an upright sitting posture, as this is crucial for accurately judging each reference point; when entering the parking area, park as close to the right side of the road as possible, but do not cross the yellow right edge line to avoid backing too far and crossing the line. Subject 2 has a full score of 100 points, with evaluation criteria set for failing, deducting 20 points, deducting 10 points, and deducting 5 points. The test is passed if the following conditions are met: ① For applicants of large passenger vehicles, tractors, city buses, medium-sized passenger vehicles, and large trucks, a score of 90 or above is required; ② For other vehicle types, a score of 80 or above is required.

How long does it take to upgrade from C1 to A2?

You cannot directly upgrade from a C1 to an A2 driver's license. If you already hold a C1 license, the fastest way to obtain an A2 license is to first upgrade to a B1 or B2 license after holding the C1 license for at least one year. After obtaining the B1 or B2 license, you must have three years of professional driving experience before you can apply for the A2 license. Therefore, upgrading from C1 to A2 requires at least four years. Alternatively, you can take a second approach by directly obtaining a B2 license. With three years of driving experience after obtaining the B2 license, you can also upgrade to an A2 license. This method is faster but does not involve upgrading directly from a C1 license. According to the 'Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses' (Ministry of Public Security Order No. 123) of the People's Republic of China, the following conditions must be met for upgrading a driver's license: Article 14: For those who already hold a motor vehicle driver's license and apply to add a permitted vehicle type, there should be no record of accumulating 12 penalty points in the current scoring cycle or the most recent scoring cycle before the application. For applications to add medium-sized passenger vehicles, tractors, or large passenger vehicles as permitted vehicle types, the following additional regulations apply: To apply for adding medium-sized passenger vehicles as a permitted vehicle type, the applicant must have held a license for urban buses, large trucks, small cars, small automatic transmission cars, low-speed trucks, or three-wheeled vehicles for at least three years, with no record of accumulating 12 penalty points in the three most recent scoring cycles before the application. To apply for adding tractors as a permitted vehicle type, the applicant must have held a license for medium-sized passenger vehicles or large trucks for at least three years, or have held a license for large passenger vehicles for at least one year, with no record of accumulating 12 penalty points in the three most recent scoring cycles before the application. To apply for adding large passenger vehicles as a permitted vehicle type, the applicant must have held a license for medium-sized passenger vehicles, urban buses, or large trucks for at least five years, or have held a license for tractors for at least two years, with no record of accumulating 12 penalty points in the five most recent scoring cycles before the application. In temporary residence areas, the permitted vehicle types that can be added include small cars, small automatic transmission cars, low-speed trucks, three-wheeled vehicles, ordinary three-wheeled motorcycles, ordinary two-wheeled motorcycles, and light motorcycles. Article 15: Under any of the following circumstances, the applicant is not allowed to apply for large passenger vehicles, tractors, medium-sized passenger vehicles, or large trucks as permitted vehicle types: Being responsible for a traffic accident resulting in death with equal or greater liability; Driving a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol; Having the motor vehicle driver's license revoked or rescinded for less than ten years. According to the 'Permitted Vehicle Types and Codes' (Ministry of Public Security Order No. 139) of the People's Republic of China, the A1 permitted vehicle type is large passenger vehicles, which allows driving large passenger cars and also permits driving A3, B1, B2, C1, C2, C3, C4, and M vehicle types. According to the 'Permitted Vehicle Types and Codes' (Ministry of Public Security Order No. 139) of the People's Republic of China, the A2 permitted vehicle type is tractors, which allows driving heavy and medium-sized full trailers and semi-trailer trains, and also permits driving B1, B2, C1, C2, C3, C4, and M vehicle types.
