Are Encouraging Words Helpful for the Subject 3 Driving Test?

[DelBrantley]

The greatest encouragement is the test precautions. The road test, also known as the Subject 3 test, is relatively simple but prone to errors. Key precautions for Subject 3: 1. Before getting in the car: Regardless of your position relative to the vehicle, always walk around the front of the car from the right side to the driver's door. First, observe if there are any obstacles on the road ahead, then check for approaching vehicles from behind to ensure safety before opening the door and getting in. 2. Gently close the door: Present your pre-prepared ID to the examiner with both hands, smiling as you introduce yourself. 3. Normal dashboard: Adjust the seat, left, right, and center rearview mirrors as quickly and skillfully as possible, fasten your seatbelt, and check the dashboard. If everything is normal, politely ask the examiner, "Reporting, the dashboard is normal. May I start?" 4. Smooth start: Upon approval, depress the clutch, shift to 1st gear, turn on the left turn signal, honk the horn, check the mirrors, and ensure safety. Then, slowly release the clutch to the semi-engaged position while simultaneously releasing the handbrake with your right hand (this effectively prevents rolling back on uphill starts) to start smoothly. 5. Continue driving: Do not rush to change lanes to the left immediately. Continue straight, turn off the left turn signal, depress the clutch, and shift to 2nd gear (for steep uphill starts, you can stay in 1st gear until reaching the top before shifting). Release the clutch slowly while gently pressing the accelerator with your right foot to prevent jerking or stalling. Maintain 2nd gear, and when the speedometer reaches 30 km/h or the engine exceeds 2000 RPM, shift to 3rd gear, keeping a steady speed of 30 km/h. Unless the examiner requests acceleration, avoid showing off by exceeding 60 km/h, as it is unsafe. During driving, remember to check the mirrors every 10 seconds. 6. Pull over: When nearing success, stay calm. First, activate the right turn signal, then noticeably turn your head to check the right mirror. If there are no vehicles approaching from behind, steer right while braking and depressing the clutch. Use your usual parking skills to stop the car 30 cm from the roadside, straighten the wheels, and park steadily. 7. Complete the test: After stopping, engage the handbrake, shift to neutral, release the clutch and brake, turn off the right turn signal, and unfasten the seatbelt.
