Starting on a slope with the vehicle body less than thirty centimeters from the edge line but not crossing the lane line will not result in penalty points. Different items in Subject 2 have different deduction points. The specific analysis is as follows: 1. General deductions: Not wearing a seatbelt, not closing the car door properly, and not having the gear in neutral when starting the engine will all deduct 100 points. Not using the turn signal, using the turn signal for less than three seconds, forgetting to turn off the turn signal, or using the turn signal incorrectly, as well as stalling, will deduct 10 points each. 2. Parallel parking: If the vehicle body crosses the line after stopping in the parking space, or if the task completion time exceeds 90 seconds, 100 points will be deducted. Failing to use or incorrectly using the turn signal when exiting the parking space will also deduct 100 points. If the vehicle body touches the parking space line or the wheels touch the lane edge line while driving, 10 points will be deducted each time. Stopping for more than 2 seconds during the process will deduct 5 points each time. 3. Reverse parking: If the task completion time exceeds 210 seconds, not following the specified route or sequence, not driving the front wheels over the control line before reversing, or failing to complete the reverse parking will all deduct 100 points. Stopping for more than 2 seconds during the process will deduct 5 points each time. 4. Curve driving: If the wheels press against the edge line or the vehicle stops for more than 2 seconds, 100 points will be deducted.

Regarding the parking position issue during hill starts, I often emphasize when teaching others to drive that the exam requirement is that after the vehicle stops, the front bumper must be within 30 centimeters of the stop line, either forward or backward, to be considered qualified. Being less than 30 centimeters is completely normal, not penalized, and may even result in a higher score. Why? Because this distance is set by the rules to test operational precision, including speed and brake control. If you stop very close, within less than 30 centimeters, it shows your technique is on point. During practice, it's recommended to use reference points, such as looking at the left side mirror or roadside markers, and simulate the scenario multiple times to make the operation more stable. During the exam, don’t be nervous; focus on the coordination between the clutch and brake. Less than 30 centimeters is a safe range and won’t cause any issues.

As a student who just passed the driving test, I'd like to share my personal experience. During the hill start test, I had to ensure the parking position was within 30 cm before or after the stop line. Parking less than 30 cm away not only didn't incur penalties but was also recognized by the examiner as correct operation. During my test, I stopped about 15 cm away and passed without penalty. The key is to practice hill parking repeatedly, develop a feel to avoid being too far or too close, but anything within this range is acceptable. Technically, use visual references more, control speed, and stabilize the car body. Regular training should include repeating different scenarios to minimize errors. In short, less than 30 cm is safe and worry-free, contributing to test success.

From my years of driving experience, I've learned that hill-start parking must be controlled within a 30-centimeter range. Parking within less than 30 centimeters won't result in point deductions, and even indicates your precise operation. The rule aims to cultivate safe habits, such as preventing vehicle rollback. With more practice, you'll naturally be able to park accurately with ease.

What is the method for adding refrigerant to a car air conditioner?

There are two methods for adding refrigerant to a car air conditioner: high-pressure side refrigerant charging and low-pressure side fluorine charging. After the system is vacuumed, close the high and low pressure manual valves on the manifold pressure gauge. Refrigerant, commonly known as freon, is the working fluid used in refrigeration and air conditioning systems to transfer heat energy and produce cooling effects. It can be classified by working method into primary refrigerants and secondary refrigerants, and by material properties into natural refrigerants and synthetic refrigerants. Car air conditioning refers to the air conditioning device installed in vehicles, which can cool, heat, ventilate, and purify the air inside the cabin, providing a comfortable environment for passengers, reducing driver fatigue, and improving driving safety.
