Can I Apply the Brake to Slow Down When Pulling Over in Subject Three?

[Maria]

Yes, you can apply the brake to slow down when pulling over in Subject Three. Here are the details: 1. Reason: From a rule perspective, there is no prohibition against using the clutch to control speed, so using the clutch to regulate speed is acceptable. After the pull-over instruction is given, applying the brake counts as stopping, indicating that the examinee has completed the required action, hence the requirement to use the clutch for speed control. 2. Exam Tips: During the Subject Three test, try to avoid prolonged semi-clutch operation, as this can easily cause the engine to stall, leading to test failure. Especially when completing maneuvers like U-turns or pull-overs that require slow speeds, using first gear at idle speed is relatively safer than semi-clutch (semi-engagement). Pulling over is not difficult; it mainly depends on the individual's ability to judge the distance from the side line, and controlling speed with the brake is sufficient.
