Can the Driving Test (Subject 3) Venue Be Changed at Will?
2 Answers
Yes. When scheduling the next Subject 3 driving test, simply select [Choose Test Venue Independently]. Below are several important notes for the Subject 3 driving test: Pre-driving preparation: Walk around the vehicle to inspect it, including checking all four tires, then open the door, start the engine, turn on the headlights, and finally take your seat. On-road test: Lane change: Upon hearing the prompt "Please change lanes," activate the turn signal, wait for 3 seconds, then turn the steering wheel. Lane changes are not allowed on single-lane roads. Straight-line driving: Before starting straight-line driving, align the vehicle to the center of the lane. Once straight-line driving begins, do not turn the steering wheel and avoid crossing solid lines.
When I was taking the driving test for Subject 3, I didn't even think about how easy or difficult it would be to change the test location. Generally speaking, you can't just switch test centers casually because each one has a fixed quota of appointments and a schedule, all arranged uniformly by the traffic police department. A friend of mine tried to change locations but found out they had to apply in advance and check for availability—you can't just switch directly in the system. If you really feel the test center isn't suitable, you'll need to consult with the driving school or test center, providing reasons like it being too far away or a scheduling conflict, and they might consider making an adjustment. But you have to act early—trying to change it a week before the test is usually hopeless. I recommend practicing driving in different environments to get familiar with various road conditions, reducing your dependence on the test center, which will make you more confident during the actual test. The key is not to cut corners—following the rules is the smart way to go.
