Touching the line means the vehicle body crosses the line, which results in a 100-point deduction and failure of the current test. Other actions that also result in a 100-point deduction include crossing the line, failing to enter the parking space, stopping midway, not following the prescribed route or sequence, and exceeding the time limit. The total score for both subjects is 100 points, with evaluation criteria set for failure, 20-point deduction, 10-point deduction, and 5-point deduction. The rules for the Subject 2 driving test state that any of the following actions will result in failure: stopping or rolling back midway, not following the voice prompts, wheels crossing the line, or the vehicle body touching the line. Many learners encounter line-crossing issues during Subject 2 practice, and "touching the line" is the most common reason for failure. The main cause of wheel line-crossing is not mastering the correct timing for steering. Besides missing the steering timing, another reason could be that the steering speed does not match the vehicle speed. Subject 2 penalty point standards: Not wearing a seatbelt: 100-point deduction. Starting the engine without the gear in neutral: 100-point deduction. Not using turn signals (including starting, lane changing, overtaking, turning, and parking); using turn signals for less than three seconds (this is easily overlooked!); forgetting to turn off turn signals or using them incorrectly: 10-point deduction. Stalling once: 10-point deduction. Reverse parking: Not following the prescribed route sequence: 100-point deduction. Vehicle body crossing the line: 100-point deduction. Failing to enter the parking space: 100-point deduction. Before reversing, not ensuring both front wheels pass the control line: 100-point deduction. Exceeding the 210-second time limit: 100-point deduction. Stopping for more than 2 seconds midway: 5-point deduction per occurrence. Slope parking and starting: After stopping, if the front bumper is not aligned with the pole line and exceeds 50 cm: 100-point deduction. After stopping, if the front bumper is not aligned with the pole line but does not exceed 50 cm: 10-point deduction. After stopping, if the starting time exceeds 30 seconds: 100-point deduction. Wheels touching the road edge line while driving: 100-point deduction. Rolling back more than 30 cm when starting: 100-point deduction. After stopping, if the vehicle body is more than 50 cm from the road edge line: 100-point deduction. After parking, not tightening the parking brake: 10-point deduction per occurrence. After stopping, if the vehicle body is more than 30 cm but less than 50 cm from the road edge line: 10-point deduction per occurrence. Rolling back more than 10 cm but less than 30 cm when starting: 5-point deduction per occurrence. Parallel parking: After parking, if the vehicle body crosses the line: 100-point deduction. Not using or incorrectly using turn signals when entering the parking space: 10-point deduction. Exceeding the 90-second time limit: 100-point deduction. Touching the parking space edge line while driving: 10-point deduction per occurrence. Wheels touching the lane edge line while driving: 10-point deduction per occurrence. Stopping for more than 2 seconds midway: 5-point deduction per occurrence. 90-degree turn: Wheels touching the road edge line: 100-point deduction. Not using or incorrectly using turn signals during the turn, or not turning them off after the turn: 10-point deduction. Stopping for more than 2 seconds midway: 5-point deduction per occurrence. Curve driving: Wheels touching the road edge line: 100-point deduction. Stopping for more than 2 seconds midway: 100-point deduction. Not driving in second gear or higher: 5-point deduction.

What is the reason for the Cruze fault code 84 disappearing after restarting?

Cruze fault code 84 disappearing after restarting is a false fault and can be checked at a repair shop. Code 84 fault code: The meaning of the code 84 fault code displayed on the Cruze dashboard is that the vehicle's power may be insufficient, usually due to a throttle fault. If the throttle position sensor is damaged, it can cause the engine to shake and idle unstably. The engine may easily stall while driving, experience surging, or have difficulty starting. Replacing the throttle position sensor will resolve the fault. Other fault codes: P0001: Fuel volume regulator control - circuit open; P0002: Fuel volume regulator control - circuit range/performance fault; P0003: Fuel volume regulator control - circuit low voltage; P0004: Fuel volume regulator control - circuit high voltage; P0005: Fuel shutoff valve - circuit open; P0006: Fuel shutoff valve - circuit low voltage; P0007: Fuel shutoff valve - circuit high voltage.

What is the fuel consumption when idling with the air conditioning on?

1.6L displacement idling with the air conditioning on for one hour consumes approximately 1.4-2.5 liters of fuel. The following are the specific drawbacks of idling with the air conditioning on: 1. High fuel consumption: Keeping the engine idling with the air conditioning on after parking consumes a lot of fuel because the compressor relies on the engine idling to operate, which can lead to incomplete fuel combustion and the formation of carbon deposits. 2. Toxic emissions: Incompletely burned fuel produces toxic substances such as carbon monoxide. If the car windows and doors are kept closed for a long time, these exhaust gases can enter the sealed cabin. When they accumulate to a certain level, they can cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Idling with the air conditioning on emits more harmful exhaust gases than driving with the air conditioning on. The idling condition produces relatively higher amounts of harmful gases such as carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and nitrogen oxides.

What does the Subject 2 simulator mean?

Subject 2 simulator is designed to simulate the official Subject 2 driving test, aiming to improve the pass rate. The simulation covers the same test items as the official exam, essentially serving as a practice test. The content of the Subject 2 test is introduced as follows: For small vehicles (C1, C2 licenses), the test items include five mandatory components: reversing into a garage, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, right-angle turns, and curve driving (commonly known as S-curves). Some regions may include a sixth item, such as highway toll card collection. For large vehicles (A1, A2, A3, B1, B2 licenses), the test items include: pole test, stopping and starting on a slope, parallel parking, driving over a single-plank bridge, curve driving, right-angle turns, passing through a narrow gate, navigating continuous obstacles, driving on bumpy roads, making a U-turn in a narrow road, as well as simulations for highway driving, continuous sharp turns on mountain roads, tunnels, rainy (foggy) conditions, slippery roads, and emergency handling.

How to Align the Reference Points Most Accurately for Straight-Line Driving in Subject 2?

Methods for aligning reference points are as follows: 1. Select a reference object: First, the driver should look straight ahead and pay attention to both sides while driving in a straight line. It is essential to choose a reference object to maintain straight-line driving, make timely direction corrections, and always be aware of various traffic situations ahead, ensuring prompt detection and handling. 2. Look far and near while holding the steering wheel straight: The driver should adjust the distance they look ahead based on the vehicle's speed. When driving at higher speeds, look further ahead; at lower speeds, look appropriately closer. Additionally, use peripheral vision to monitor the surroundings of the vehicle. 3. Steering wheel operation: Operate the steering wheel by pulling with one hand and pushing with the other. Use both hands to control the steering wheel smoothly and naturally, keeping them shoulder-width apart without applying excessive force.
