No points will be deducted. Here is the relevant introduction about Subject 2: 1. Overview: Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment and is the abbreviation for the field driving skills test. The test items for small cars C1 and C2 include five mandatory tests: reversing into a garage, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, turning at a right angle, and driving through curves (commonly known as S-turns). Some areas also include a sixth item: high-speed card collection. 2. Teaching aids: Teaching software: Students can learn traffic regulations through driver simulation test software on mobile phones or computers; Teaching books: "Safe Driving Starts Here" compiled by the Ministry of Transport of the People's Republic of China. Driving study materials can be purchased uniformly by the driving school or by the students themselves.

In the Subject 2 driving test, touching the line with the car mirror will indeed result in point deduction because rearview mirrors are considered part of the vehicle body. Any line-touching behavior may be regarded as boundary violation. I remember being extremely nervous during my first attempt - despite practicing parallel parking numerous times, I accidentally touched the line and was immediately penalized 10 points by the examiner. The test rules clearly state that no part of the vehicle (including mirrors) should exceed marked lines, otherwise it will affect the overall score. My suggestion is to pay extra attention to mirror adjustment during practice, especially in reversing maneuvers. Use reference markers and maintain low-speed operation. For added confidence, simulate the test environment multiple times before the exam to familiarize yourself with each reference point, which can help minimize mistakes.

As someone with years of driving experience, I'm well aware of the strict requirements for vehicle positioning in the Subject 2 driving test. Touching the line with the rearview mirror will definitely result in point deductions, as it's considered part of the vehicle body - any contact with the marked line constitutes a violation. In maneuvers like reverse parking, even slight contact with the mirror can lead to a deduction of 5 points or more. I recommend new learners practice reference points in advance, such as using ground markings, and maintain slow, steady control of the vehicle to avoid mistakes caused by nervousness. The test rules are stringent - even minor details can determine success or failure, so never overlook any aspect.

In the Subject 2 driving test, touching the line with the car mirror will result in point deduction. The mirror is considered an extension of the vehicle body, so touching the line means the vehicle body is out of bounds. When I took my driving test, I paid special attention to this, being extra cautious during reverse parking and right-angle turns. Generally, touching the line deducts 5 to 10 points, depending on the test item. It's recommended to practice your skills during training, choose good reference points, and drive slowly without panicking. The rules require the entire vehicle to stay within the lines, and it's good to develop this habit for everyday driving as well.

What is the normal sound of engine idling?

Normally, during the engine startup process, there should be no screeching sounds, and the engine idling sound should be even. When starting a cold engine, there might be a ticking sound, which weakens and disappears after the engine warms up. This is considered normal engine sound. The reasons for an increase in car engine noise are as follows: 1. Engine abnormal noise: The engine makes a tapping sound, similar to a pencil knocking on a table, and the sound increases as the engine speed increases. Possible causes include impurities inside the engine. It is recommended to change the engine oil, oil filter, and clean the engine. 2. Inability to increase speed: While driving, acceleration may be normal, and ignition might also be normal. However, if you notice that the engine speed is too high but the speed still doesn't increase when driving at a constant speed, try checking the coolant. If the oil pressure is too high or too low, check the oil pressure gauge. There might also be an issue with the ignition timing settings, which could lead to such symptoms. Other possible causes include internal engine problems, such as a clogged EGR valve.

What does the semicircle exclamation mark warning light mean?

The semicircle exclamation mark warning light is the tire pressure warning light of the vehicle. Here are the specific details: 1. Tire pressure: The standard tire pressure is 2.4-2.5 bar. 2. Overinflation: If the tire pressure is too high, the contact area between the tire and the ground decreases, leading to increased pressure and wear per unit area, which can easily cause loss of braking control, tire blowouts when encountering road protrusions or depressions, damage to the vehicle's suspension system, and discomfort during rides. 3. Underinflation: This increases the contact area between the tire and the ground, causing abnormal temperature rise inside the tire while driving. Additionally, severe deformation of the tire sidewall accelerates aging of the internal steel wires and fabric layers, increasing the risk of blowouts, higher fuel consumption, and reduced tire lifespan.

What Causes Engine Power Loss After Overheating?

Causes of engine power loss after overheating: 1. Electrical faults: The electric cooling fan fails to operate, reducing the radiator's heat dissipation capacity. When the air conditioning is not in use, the water temperature remains normal; however, when the air conditioning is activated, the water temperature rises significantly. This issue is typically caused by the electric fan of the air conditioning radiator not working or relay failure/damage. 2. Mechanical faults: The fan coupling lacks oil, is damaged, or stuck, preventing the cooling fan from operating. During prolonged engine operation, the water temperature becomes excessively high or even boils. This is usually due to a faulty thermostat obstructing water circulation. When the water temperature rises, the thermostat valve fails to open, preventing the coolant from entering the major circulation cycle, thus failing to dissipate heat or regulate water temperature. In tropical regions of southern China or during emergencies, the thermostat valve can be removed. Loose water pump belts or a damaged water pump can lead to a lack of circulating water. Leaks in hoses, water jackets, or the junctions between the cylinder block and cylinder head. 3. Improper assembly: For engines that have undergone major repairs or are newly assembled, incorrect dimensions or fitting clearances during installation often result in elevated water temperatures. A newly overhauled engine running at medium speed for about half an hour may exhibit high water temperatures, typically due to excessively small gaps between the pistons or piston rings and the cylinder walls. Prolonged operation under these conditions can cause ring sticking, ring breakage, or cylinder scoring. Debris left during repairs or improperly placed objects can block water passages, leading to high water temperatures. Blocked air intakes can also impair heat dissipation. 4. Improper adjustments: Excessive exhaust valve clearance. This delays the opening time of the exhaust valve and shortens its duration, resulting in poor exhaust flow and elevated water temperatures. This condition can usually be identified by a tapping sound between the valve and rocker arm during engine operation. Incorrect ignition timing. If ignition occurs too early, incomplete combustion can cause knocking and secondary ignition, raising the water temperature. If ignition occurs too late, incomplete combustion will similarly increase the water temperature.

What Causes the OBD Engine Malfunction Light?

The engine malfunction light may illuminate due to the following 7 primary reasons: Sensor failure: This includes sensors such as coolant temperature, crankshaft position, air flow, intake temperature, and oxygen sensors. When these sensors are damaged, have poor connections, or experience signal interruptions, the vehicle's ECU cannot accurately obtain engine data, triggering the malfunction light. Fuel/oil quality issues: Failure to use the manufacturer-recommended fuel or engine oil may cause engine wear, leading to the malfunction light activation. Poor fuel mixture combustion: Incomplete combustion can cause engine carbon buildup or knocking. When detected by oxygen sensors and reported to the ECU, the malfunction light will illuminate as a warning. Contributing factors include spark plug failure, ignition coil issues, fuel pump malfunction, or fuel line blockage. Turbocharger problems: Issues with the intake boost system or turbocharger can trigger the light. Common turbocharger failures may be accompanied by oil leaks, excessive oil consumption, power loss, metallic noises, or blue/black exhaust smoke. Air intake issues: Obstructed engine air intake passages, often caused by dirty air filters that haven't been regularly cleaned, may eventually activate the malfunction light. Exhaust system faults: Problems like rear oxygen sensor failure, catalytic converter issues (most common), or exhaust camshaft/bearing failures can trigger the light. Leaded gasoline, improper lubricant additives, physical damage to the catalytic converter, or fuel system malfunctions often cause catalytic converter problems. Anti-theft system malfunction: If the electronic anti-theft system fails or isn't properly synchronized with the engine control unit, it may prevent normal engine operation while activating the warning light. When the engine light illuminates, follow these steps: 1. First check if the engine operates normally. If there's shaking, black smoke, or other abnormalities (especially with a red warning light), do not restart the engine. 2. If restarting is possible, wait 5-10 minutes after turning off the engine. Without pressing the brake pedal, press the start button once or turn the key halfway to the ON position (without depressing the clutch). The vehicle will perform a self-check for 5-10 seconds - observe if the warning light turns off. 3. If the light remains on, visit a service center immediately. Technicians can use diagnostic tools to read trouble codes and perform targeted repairs.
