Can I look at the dashboard during Subject 3 test?

You can look at the dashboard during Subject 3 test. After getting in the car and fastening the seat belt, focus on listening to the voice prompts and turn on the lights promptly. From left to right on the dashboard, there are low beam, high beam, front fog light, and rear fog light. Then turn the steering wheel and press the horn to start driving. On the dashboard, you can observe left and right turn signals and also see the gear position. Subject 3 includes the road driving skills test and the safety and civilized driving knowledge test, which is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. It is the abbreviation for the road driving skills and safety and civilized driving knowledge test subjects in the motor vehicle driver's test. The content of the road driving skills test varies for different types of vehicles eligible for driving.
During my driving test for Subject 3, I thought checking the dashboard was acceptable, but it needed to be done in moderation. Safe driving is the priority, so on the road, I quickly glance at the speedometer or warning lights to ensure I'm not speeding or that there's no vehicle malfunction. I can't stare at it for too long, or the examiner might deduct points for distracted driving. I remember during one test on the highway section, I checked my speed to confirm I was within the limit, and the examiner even nodded in approval. During regular practice, it's important to develop good habits: check the dashboard on straight roads or when stopped, keeping your main focus on the road ahead. This way, you can monitor the vehicle's status while preventing accidents. With enough practice, it becomes second nature, and you won't feel nervous during the test. Remember, the dashboard is an aid, not a distraction.
