Can the Subject 3 Driving Test Be Taken on Holidays?
1 Answers
Generally, the Subject 3 driving test cannot be taken on holidays. Weekends and holidays are rest periods for staff, but in exceptional circumstances such as natural disasters, additional test sessions may be scheduled after recovery, which could fall on weekends. Below is an introduction to the Subject 3 test procedures and common mistakes: Subject 3 Test Procedures: There are 16 procedures in total: vehicle preparation, starting, straight-line driving, gear shifting (acceleration and deceleration), left turns at intersections, right turns at intersections, lane changes, passing through intersections, pulling over, crossing pedestrian crossings, passing school zones, passing bus stops, meeting oncoming vehicles, overtaking, making U-turns, and nighttime driving. There are two main challenges in the Subject 3 test: The first is speed and gear mismatch. Errors such as high gear with low speed or low gear with high speed must be avoided during the test. Before shifting gears, ensure the speed matches the intended gear, then proceed with the shift. During driving, glance at the speedometer every eight seconds to prevent such mistakes. The second challenge is veering off course during straight-line driving. While significant steering wheel adjustments are not allowed during straight-line driving, if the vehicle was not properly aligned before the test or if the trajectory deviates slightly, minor steering adjustments (around 5 degrees) can be made. Over a longer distance, this will gradually correct the vehicle's path back to straight, after which the steering wheel can be centered.
