Points will be deducted if the wheels touch the dashed line during parallel parking, with a deduction of 10 points. In the past, parallel parking used four poles placed on the ground to symbolize the four corners of the parking space. Whether the vehicle successfully entered and parked without touching these four poles was one of the criteria. After the implementation of the new traffic regulations, parallel parking no longer uses poles, and all boundaries are marked with ground lines. Below are the standards for the driving test: 1. Vehicle body crossing the line: If the vehicle body crosses the line after parking, 100 points will be deducted. 2. Wheels touching the lane boundary line: If the wheels touch the lane boundary line while driving, 10 points will be deducted. 3. Not parking within the space: If the vehicle is not parked within the space, 100 points will be deducted. 4. Not turning on the left turn signal: If the left turn signal is not turned on when starting, 10 points will be deducted.

When parallel parking, it is true that driving over the dotted line will result in point deductions – I've seen this happen frequently during my time working at a driving school. Dotted lines typically mark parking space boundaries, and crossing them indicates improper parking alignment, which leads to point deductions (usually 5-10 points, depending on local regulations). During tests, this is a common mistake as beginners often get nervous or misjudge mirror positioning, causing wheels to touch the lines. I recommend using reference points during practice, such as landmarks outside the window, to better control wheel placement. Crossing lines doesn't just affect test scores – it may also lead to fines in real-world driving for obstructing lanes, which is hazardous. Remember, driving tests aim to cultivate proper parking habits. Developing precise parking instincts will save you future trouble. With repeated simulations and controlled steering speed/direction, you can easily avoid these point-loss situations.

Where is the battery located in an Audi?

Audi car batteries are generally installed in the trunk of the vehicle. You can see it by opening the trunk's partition board. Here is some relevant information about the battery: 1. Battery: The battery, also known as a storage battery, is a device that converts chemical energy into electrical energy. It refers specifically to lead-acid batteries - a type primarily made of lead and its oxides, with sulfuric acid solution as the electrolyte. The normal service life of a car battery ranges from 1 to 8 years, depending largely on the vehicle's condition. 2. Battery replacement: If the battery is dead, it's recommended to first measure the battery voltage. When using a multimeter for inspection, measure the battery voltage during engine cranking. You can first use a high-frequency discharge tester or battery tester to measure it. Under a load current of no less than 110 amps, the minimum voltage should not be lower than 9.6 volts and should remain stable for 5 seconds. If the voltage is below 9.6 volts but can remain stable for 5 seconds, it indicates over-discharge and should be recharged promptly. If the voltage is below 9.6 volts and cannot remain stable for 5 seconds, rapidly dropping to 0 volts or close to 0 volts, this suggests the battery may be faulty and likely needs replacement.

Where is the tire pressure reset button for the Outlander?

The tire pressure reset button for the Outlander is located near the air conditioning vents, specifically the rightmost button among the three. Here is some relevant information about the Outlander: 1. Tire Pressure: The factory-recommended tire pressure standard for the Mitsubishi Outlander is between 2.3-2.5 bar, which is considered normal. The maximum should not exceed 3.0 bar, and the minimum should not be below 2.1 bar. Measuring tire pressure when the car is cold and empty yields more accurate results. If the pressure is extremely low, check for possible tire leaks. This applies to both front and rear tires, as passenger cars generally do not have significant weight-bearing differences, and the speed and load ratings for front and rear tires are usually the same. Overinflated tires reduce the contact area with the ground, which can lower fuel consumption but may also affect braking performance. Underinflated tires cause the sidewalls to rub against the ground, and prolonged or high-speed driving under such conditions can lead to sidewall damage or even a blowout. 2. Tire Replacement: Owners can refer to the user manual for guidance. If the tire pressure warning light comes on, it is advisable to reduce speed immediately, turn on the hazard lights, and find a safe place to stop. After stopping, inspect the tires for leaks and decide whether to continue driving or switch to a spare tire based on the situation.

How Long Does It Usually Take to Buy and Pick Up a Car?

Due to differences in the models and configurations of the purchased vehicles, the time from buying to picking up a car is not a fixed value. For some popular models, it may take up to a month to pick up the car, while for less popular models, the pickup time may be shorter. Below are some common misconceptions when buying a new car: SUVs are better than sedans: Buying a car should not be done blindly, especially when choosing the model. Although SUVs are larger in size, they also consume more fuel. Consumers should make a reasonable purchase based on their needs. Larger models are better: When comparing five-seater SUVs and seven-seater SUVs, many might choose the latter, thinking that seven-seater SUVs offer more space. However, in practical use, five-seater SUVs might be more convenient, and they also ensure better passenger comfort.

Why Does the License Plate Fall Off When Driving Through Water?

When a car moves quickly through water, the water in front of the vehicle is rapidly pushed downward from above the bumper toward the underside of the car, generating a strong top-to-bottom impact force. Poor-quality license plates made of thin metal sheets can be torn apart by this force, causing them to fall off. Below is some relevant information about license plates: 1. Temporary License Plates: Temporary license plates are issued by vehicle management authorities when a car is undergoing registration procedures and has not yet been officially registered. Temporary plates have time and regional restrictions. They can be applied for at the local vehicle management office under certain conditions. 2. Fire and Rescue Vehicle License Plates: These plates have a white background with black characters and the red Chinese characters "Emergency Response." For cars, the plate consists of 8 characters: the abbreviated Chinese character of the province (autonomous region, or municipality), the code of the rescue team, a four-digit serial number, and the Chinese characters "Emergency Response." For motorcycles, the plate has 7 characters: the Chinese characters "Emergency Response," the abbreviated Chinese character of the province (autonomous region, or municipality), a three-digit serial number, and the code of the rescue team.
