Can You Choose Not to Proceed on a Green Light During Driving Test (Subject 3)?

You can choose not to proceed on a green light during the Subject 3 driving test, and stopping to wait for the next green light will not result in point deductions. Below is a detailed introduction to Subject 3: 1. Road driving skills test for Subject 3: The content generally includes: preparation before driving, simulated lighting test, starting, driving in a straight line, gear shifting operations, changing lanes, pulling over, proceeding straight through intersections, turning left at intersections, turning right at intersections, crossing pedestrian crossings, passing through school zones, passing through bus stops, meeting oncoming vehicles, overtaking, making U-turns, and nighttime driving. 2. Safe and civilized driving knowledge test for Subject 3: The content generally includes: requirements for safe and civilized driving operations, safe driving knowledge under adverse weather and complex road conditions, emergency handling methods for situations like tire blowouts, and post-accident handling knowledge.
From my experience teaching people to drive, during the road test (Subject 3), you must proceed when encountering a green light and cannot stop without reason. Traffic regulations clearly state that a green light is a signal to proceed, and drivers must move forward; intentionally stopping will be judged by the examiner as failing to obey traffic signals, resulting in immediate point deductions and failure. Only under special circumstances can you pause, such as when pedestrians are crossing the crosswalk ahead or obstacles block the road, compromising safety. I've seen many students brake at green lights due to nervousness or hesitation, ultimately failing the test. The core principle is to start moving at green lights, but always observe the surroundings while driving to ensure no potential hazards. Remembering these key points not only improves passing rates but also cultivates safe driving habits to avoid accidents on actual roads.
