When exiting a parallel parking space, you should turn on the turn signal before shifting gears. Here is some additional information: Precautions: Parallel parking no longer uses poles, but instead uses ground markings as the boundary of the parking space. For students learning to drive with a C1 license, the length of the parallel parking space is 1.5 times the length of the vehicle plus 1 meter. Drive the vehicle to the front of the parking space parallel to the direction of travel, then reverse into the space to the right rear without any pauses. As long as the vehicle is parked within the boundaries without crossing the lines, it is considered a pass. Grading criteria: If the vehicle crosses the line after stopping in the space, 100 points are deducted. If the wheels touch or press against the lane boundary lines while moving, 10 points are deducted. If the vehicle is not parked inside the space, 100 points are deducted. If the left turn signal is not turned on when starting, 10 points are deducted. If there is a pause during the maneuver, 100 points are deducted.

How Far Can a Car's Reserve Fuel Tank Go?

Under normal circumstances, the gasoline in the reserve fuel tank can allow a car to continue driving for 20 to 30 kilometers. However, the exact distance depends on the driver's habits and road conditions, as both factors significantly impact fuel consumption. Below are detailed introductions to fuel tanks: 1. Overview: A fuel tank is a container for storing fuel in aircraft or automobiles, or a specialized container for hydraulic oil or fluid in hydraulic systems. Fuel tanks can be categorized into open-type and closed-type. They must have sufficient capacity. 2. Classification: Based on shape, fuel tanks can also be divided into rectangular and cylindrical types. Rectangular tanks are easier to manufacture and more convenient for mounting hydraulic components, making them widely adopted. Cylindrical tanks offer higher strength, lighter weight, and easier cleaning, but are more difficult to manufacture and occupy more space, often used in large metallurgical equipment.
