Points will be deducted for pressing the left dotted line after parallel parking. During parallel parking, it is permissible to press the left dotted line before the vehicle is properly parked, but not after the parking is completed. Below are some tips for the parallel parking test in Subject 2 of the driving exam: 1. Starting: After getting into the car, first adjust the seat and fasten the seatbelt, which is a must for every test. Adjust both side mirrors so that one-quarter of the car body is visible in the inner part of the mirrors. 2. Positioning the car: Start with the clutch partially engaged, and if confident, you can appropriately apply the accelerator. Follow the principle of 'press, shift, turn, honk, and look' when starting, and park the car parallel to the parking space at a distance of 30-50 cm, with the rear of the car passing the frontmost pole. 3. Reversing: Shift into reverse gear, start with the clutch partially engaged, and control the speed. Turn your body to the right and look at the lower rear corner of the right door window. When the first pole appears, quickly turn the steering wheel to the right all the way while moving slowly. Then look at the left rearview mirror. When the second pole (diagonal to the first pole) appears, stabilize the speed and quickly turn the wheel two turns to the left. While turning the wheel back, start looking at the right rearview mirror to check its position. When the base of the rearview mirror passes the first pole, quickly turn the steering wheel all the way to the left. (Note: After identifying each turning point and starting to turn, immediately look for the next one.) Look at the front of the car and stop when the car body is straight. If the front wheels need to be straightened, quickly straighten them when the car body is almost straight. 4. Exiting the parking space: Shift into first gear, turn on the left turn signal, honk, and start slowly with the clutch partially engaged. Quickly turn the steering wheel to the left when starting, and when the front right corner of the car passes the pole, quickly turn the wheel two turns to the right. After the third turn, adjust the steering based on the distance to the right pole and the speed of turning. Look straight ahead, and when the front of the car is almost straight, straighten the front wheels to drive straight.

How long after the Subject 2 retest can you take Subject 3?

After the Subject 2 retest, you can take Subject 3 after an interval of 10-20 days. Below is the relevant exam information: 1. Scheduling Subject 3 more than 10 days after Subject 2 results: Each local vehicle management office has different regulations. If scheduling online, normally you can schedule Subject 3 immediately after the Subject 2 results are updated. However, scheduling often fails due to high demand, so many vehicle management offices require a waiting period of more than 10 days before scheduling. 2. Subject 3 content includes: vehicle preparation, light simulation test, starting, straight-line driving, gear shifting operations, lane changing, pulling over, going straight through intersections, left turns at intersections, right turns at intersections, passing pedestrian crossings, passing school zones, passing bus stops, meeting oncoming vehicles, overtaking, making U-turns, and night driving.

What does 'mix' mean in a car?

In a car, 'mix' means random playback, while 'rpt' refers to repeat playback. Both are function buttons on the car audio system. Car audio system: The car audio system consists of five parts: antenna, receiver, speaker correction, audible frequency amplification, and speaker system. The car audio system is a playback device designed to alleviate the boredom of drivers and passengers during travel. The earliest version used was the car AM radio. Advantages: Car audio systems meet high standards in terms of sound quality, operation, and vibration resistance, ensuring stable performance and perfect sound quality even on bumpy roads. Tips for using car audio: Avoid using maximum volume: Every car audio system has a maximum volume limit, and the car's audio system often operates close to this limit. Prolonged use at maximum volume can damage the audio, leading to sound distortion or cracking. Additionally, in the confined space of a car, maximum volume can also harm hearing. Therefore, it's recommended to keep the volume output at around 80% of the maximum. Be careful when removing door panels to avoid damaging the audio: As electronic devices, vibrations and impacts are major causes of damage. Generally, audio systems are fixed in slots inside the door, so normal driving vibrations don’t harm them. However, when removing door panels for tasks like replacing soundproofing or repairing the audio, extra caution is needed. Handle the audio gently during removal; any impact or vibration from knocking the door panel can loosen or damage internal components. Protect from moisture and dust: Dust and moisture are deadly for most electronic devices. When cleaning the car interior, avoid using overly wet towels or spraying liquids like water or cleaners directly onto the speakers. For dust on the audio, use a dry towel or wet wipe. After cleaning the interior, ventilate the car to dry it before normal use. On rainy days, avoid opening windows to prevent rainwater from entering and wetting the speakers located in the doors and corners, which can cause water damage or moisture issues.

What are the penalties for using counterfeit license plates?

According to relevant regulations, the use of other vehicles' motor vehicle registration certificates, license plates, driving licenses, inspection qualification marks, or insurance marks will result in confiscation by the traffic management department of the public security authority, detention of the motor vehicle, and a fine ranging from 2,000 to 5,000 yuan. Additional information on handling counterfeit license plate cases: 1. For individuals: If a motor vehicle driver or owner discovers their vehicle's license plate has been counterfeited, they should promptly report to the traffic police department. When reporting, the affected party must present the vehicle's driving license, the owner's ID card, a copy of the driver's license, clear photos of the original vehicle from different angles (front and rear), and provide information on the suspected counterfeit vehicle, such as two copies of traffic violation notices received for the counterfeit vehicle (including violation time, offense, location, type of license plate, license plate number, and vehicle color). 2. For organizations: If the vehicle owner is an organization, the reporter must also hold an authorization letter from the organization. After verifying the vehicle information, the local public security and traffic police department will report to the relevant department of the Provincial Public Security Department's Traffic Management Bureau for system entry. Upon confirmation of the counterfeit license plate, on one hand, the traffic violation records of the affected vehicle will be cleared, and on the other hand, the counterfeit vehicle will be subject to long-term monitoring and strict enforcement measures, being included in a 'blacklist' database.

What are the penalty rules for parallel parking?

Parallel parking penalty standards are as follows: 1. Regulations: Driving over the parking space and lane lines with tires, deduct 20 points. After the vehicle is parked in the space, if the body extends beyond the parking space lines, deduct 20 points. If the vehicle is not properly aligned after parking, deduct 5 points. Failing to park in one forward and one reverse movement, deduct 20 points. Touching or scraping the poles, deduct 20 points. 2. New rules: After the implementation of the new traffic regulations, parallel parking no longer uses poles, and all parking space boundaries are marked with ground lines. For students learning C1 driver's license, the length of the parallel parking space is 1.5 times the vehicle length 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 this range without crossing the parking space lines, it is considered a pass.

Does Crossing the Front Wheels Over the Line Count as Running a Red Light?

No. If the front wheels of the vehicle have just crossed the stop line when the light is red, and the vehicle stops immediately without moving, it will not be considered as running a red light. However, if the vehicle continues to proceed in violation of the rules, it will be deemed as running a red light. According to Article 90 of the new traffic regulations: driving a motor vehicle in violation of traffic signal lights will result in 6 demerit points and a fine of 200 yuan. If the vehicle completes crossing the line and continues to move until it fully crosses the line before stopping, thereby affecting the passage of other vehicles and pedestrians, it will be penalized under Article 3, Section 7 of the Road Traffic Safety Law: violating prohibition signs will result in 3 demerit points and a fine of 100 yuan. Crossing the stop line can be divided into two scenarios: the front wheels of the vehicle crossing the stop line; the entire body of the vehicle crossing the stop line. Article 38 of the Implementation Regulations of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China states: motor vehicle signal lights and non-motor vehicle signal lights indicate: When the green light is on, vehicles are permitted to proceed, but turning vehicles must not obstruct the passage of straight-moving vehicles and pedestrians. When the yellow light is on, vehicles that have already crossed the stop line may continue to proceed. When the red light is on, vehicles are prohibited from proceeding. When the red light is on, right-turning vehicles may proceed provided they do not obstruct the passage of other vehicles and pedestrians. At intersections where non-motor vehicle signal lights and pedestrian crossing signal lights are not installed, non-motor vehicles and pedestrians should follow the indications of the motor vehicle signal lights. The new traffic regulations clearly stipulate that the following three necessary conditions must be met to constitute a red-light violation: The vehicle illegally crosses the stop line. The vehicle illegally enters the intersection. The vehicle illegally crosses the opposite stop line. To determine a red-light violation, only three photos are required: A photo showing the front wheels of the vehicle not crossing the stop line when the red light is on, a photo of the vehicle passing through the middle of the road, and a photo of the vehicle reaching the opposite road; these three clear photos can prove the vehicle's movement trajectory after the red light is on, thereby confirming the red-light violation. Drivers should pay attention to the following three situations: If the front wheels of the vehicle cross the stop line or both the front and rear wheels cross the stop line but the rear of the vehicle has not crossed the stop line, and the vehicle stops immediately, the traffic police will not penalize it as running a red light, but may penalize it for over-the-line parking. If the front wheels of the vehicle cross the stop line, regardless of whether the entire body has fully crossed the stop line, and the vehicle stops and then reverses back, if the electronic eye captures two complete movement images, it will be treated as running a red light, resulting in 6 demerit points and a fine of 200 yuan. If the entire body of the vehicle fully crosses the stop line and stops or continues to move forward, and within one red-light cycle, the electronic eye captures three complete images constituting a red-light violation, regardless of whether the vehicle has entered the intersection or crossed the opposite stop line, it will be treated as a red-light violation and penalized accordingly.
