Can Someone Else Take the Driving Test (Subject Three) for Me?
2 Answers
Subject Three of the driving test cannot be taken by someone else on your behalf. Below are the relevant details about Subject Three: 1. Test Items: The test includes 13 items: vehicle preparation, starting, driving straight, changing lanes, passing intersections, pulling over, crossing pedestrian crossings, passing school zones, passing bus stops, meeting oncoming vehicles, overtaking, making U-turns, and nighttime driving. 2. Test Method: Subject Three is conducted with the examiner and the examinee in the same vehicle (except for two-wheelers and vehicles where this is not possible), using a deduction-based scoring system for essential road test behaviors. The examinee must hold the appropriate driving license during the road test. 3. Passing Criteria: The test is scored out of 100, with deductions for failing items (20 points, 10 points, or 5 points). A minimum score of 80 is required to pass for small vehicles.
Absolutely no one can take the place of another in the Subject 3 driving test, as it is completely illegal. The road test primarily assesses a driver's practical skills, including key maneuvers like turning, lane changing, and parking. Having someone else take the test not only deceives the examiner but also goes against the purpose of the test. I've personally witnessed cases where individuals were caught attempting to cheat, resulting in their test eligibility being revoked, fines imposed, and even being placed on a negative record list, which can affect future driver's license applications. Safe driving is the fundamental principle, and taking the test yourself is the only way to truly learn. During practice, find an open area to simulate the test multiple times to build confidence. Failing once is not a big deal—retaking it two or three times is normal, but the consequences of cheating will leave you with deep regrets and may even plant hidden risks on the road.
