Stalling during the hill start in Subject 2 results in a 20-point deduction. Here is relevant information: Introduction: The driver's examination (motor vehicle driver's examination) is a qualification test organized by the Vehicle Management Office of the Public Security Bureau. Only by passing the driver's examination can one obtain a driver's license and legally operate a motor vehicle. Examination Subjects: Applicants for a motor vehicle driver's license must pass the following four subjects: Subject 1: Road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge examination, Subject 2: Field driving skills examination, Subject 3: Road driving skills examination, and Subject 4: Safe and civilized driving related knowledge.

Stalling on a hill start will indeed result in point deductions during the driving test. I remember during the Subject 2 exam, the examiner specifically emphasized that hill starts were a key assessment item. Stalling once deducts 10 points, and the full score for Subject 2 is only 100 points, with 80 needed to pass. If the car rolls back more than 30 centimeters after stalling, it’s an immediate 100-point deduction and a fail. However, stalling doesn’t mean it’s over—as long as you quickly shift back to neutral and restart the engine, you can continue the test. Once, while accompanying a friend during practice, he stalled and panicked, trying to restart without shifting to neutral, which led to an immediate failure. It’s recommended that beginners focus on practicing the clutch’s biting point: when you hear the engine sound deepen, slowly release the brake, and once you feel the car’s front lift, apply the throttle.

What is the name of Subject 4?

Subject 4 is called the Safe and Civilized Driving Knowledge Test. Its main content includes aspects such as safe driving and civilized driving, particularly focusing on knowledge about response methods and corresponding measures in unexpected situations. Subject 4 extracts the requirements related to safe and civilized driving from the original Subject 1, along with safe driving skills under complex conditions and emergency handling knowledge in critical situations, and places them after the Subject 3 actual road driving test to further assess the candidate's level of traffic awareness. The main content of Subject 4 includes: safe and civilized driving operation requirements, safe driving knowledge under adverse weather and complex road conditions, emergency handling methods in situations like tire blowouts, and knowledge on handling traffic accidents.

How often should the antifreeze in a sedan be replaced?

Sedan antifreeze should typically be replaced every two years, or when the vehicle reaches approximately 40,000 kilometers. The functions of automotive antifreeze include: 1. Providing anti-corrosion protection for components of the cooling system; 2. Preventing scale buildup to avoid reducing the radiator's cooling efficiency; 3. Ensuring the engine operates within the normal temperature range. Precautions for using antifreeze include: 1. Regularly checking the antifreeze level and topping it up promptly if it falls below the minimum mark; 2. Observing whether the antifreeze has any turbid sediments and replacing it immediately if such sediments are present; 3. Not mixing antifreeze of different colors, as they vary by vehicle model; 4. Measuring the antifreeze's freezing point before winter to prevent it from freezing.

Can a Heavy Car Steering Wheel Be Adjusted?

Car steering wheel heaviness cannot be adjusted. Some vehicle cross shafts are prone to jamming, and applying lubricant may alleviate the heavy feeling. The reasons for a heavy car steering wheel include: 1. Insufficient tire pressure; 2. Contaminated power steering fluid; 3. Internal failure of the power assist system; 4. Poor bearing lubrication. Solutions for a heavy car steering wheel are: 1. Replenish hydraulic power steering fluid; 2. Replace circuit fuses; 3. Replace flat bearings and replenish kingpin grease; 4. Increase lubrication for steering tie rod ball joints. Steering wheels are categorized into: single-spoke, dual-spoke, three-spoke, and four-spoke designs. Their working principle involves transmitting torque to the rack-and-pinion mechanism to facilitate wheel rotation left or right.

What are the three main components of an AC contactor?

An AC contactor mainly consists of an electromagnetic system, a contact system, and an arc extinguishing system. It is generally used to start equipment, control the forward and reverse rotation, start and stop of motors through different control wiring methods, and achieve remote control by adjusting the length of control cables. Changing the wiring method can also enable multi-point control. The AC contactor is a common low-voltage control device in power drive and automatic control systems. When the electromagnetic coil is energized, the moving iron core is attracted by electromagnetic force, causing the moving contacts to directly or through lever transmission come into contact with the stationary contacts, thus closing the circuit. When the electromagnetic coil is de-energized, the moving iron core automatically returns under the action of the reset spring.

In an Emergency, Should You Press the Clutch or Brake First?

In an emergency, press the brake first and apply full braking force. This allows simultaneous engine braking and wheel braking, shortening the stopping distance and providing better deceleration to ensure personal and vehicle safety. The function of brakes is to reduce speed or bring the vehicle to a complete stop. Their working principle involves converting the kinetic energy of the moving vehicle into heat energy through friction between brake pads and drums, as well as between tires and the road surface. Causes of brake failure include: 1. Contaminants or poor sealing in the master cylinder; 2. Failure of the vacuum booster; 3. Dirty brake fluid; 4. Oil leakage from the master or wheel cylinders; 5. Air leaks in the air reservoir or pipe connections; 6. Severe overloading; 7. Carbonized brake drums; 8. Insufficient brake fluid in the master cylinder; 9. Worn-out master cylinder piston.
