Can I Bring My Phone for the Driving Test Subject 3?
2 Answers
Mobile phones are not allowed to be brought into the vehicle during the test and must be stored. Precautions for Subject 3 are as follows: 1. Before starting the test, walk around the vehicle counterclockwise to inspect its condition. 2. After entering the vehicle, adjust the seat position and rearview mirror angle, and fasten the seatbelt. 3. During all test items, listen to the voice prompts and avoid acting before the prompt, as the computer may fail to record the operation, resulting in test failure. Special attention is required for the school and bus stop sections, where there are no voice reminders. Ensure to perform the deceleration and braking actions within 30 meters, avoiding doing so too early. 4. For operations such as starting, changing lanes, overtaking, turning, making a U-turn, or parking, always signal first and wait for 3 seconds before executing the maneuver. 5. After completing the parking, do not rush to exit the vehicle. Open and then close the door, wait for the voice announcement of the results before exiting, and remember to close the door after getting out.
Last year when I was taking the driving test (Subject 3), my instructor clearly stated before the exam that mobile phones were not allowed in the testing area. On the day of the test, the place was packed with people, and I forgot to hand my phone to her. As a result, the examiner stopped me and sternly warned that bringing any electronic device would lead to immediate disqualification. I was so startled that I nearly broke into a cold sweat and hurried back to the car to lock my phone away. This rule makes perfect sense—the road test is a practical exam where you need to focus entirely on the road and your maneuvers. A ringing or vibrating phone could easily distract you, and any accident would be disastrous. Reflecting on it later, I realized that the test is just like real driving—safety comes first. So now, I always remind myself to put my phone away before entering the testing area or hand it to a friend accompanying me. Staying focused during the test is the key to passing on the first try—don’t let a small gadget ruin the big picture.
