Does failing to engage the gear twice in the Driving Test Part 3 count as a failure?
1 Answers
Engaging the gear twice consecutively will result in failure. Below are common issues in Driving Test Part 3: 1. Gear shifting hesitation: Shifting to a lower gear at high speed can cause hesitation. To engage the correct gear, reduce the speed to the appropriate range before shifting. 2. Inability to engage gear: This is mainly due to not fully depressing the clutch. Forcing the gear lever will definitely lead to failure. If you can't engage the gear, quickly press the clutch all the way down and try again. 3. Looking down at the gearshift: Never look down at the gearshift. Before starting Part 3, you can practice with the engine off, feeling the positions of each gear (1st to 5th) with your eyes closed. Repeated practice will help you memorize them. Looking down is a major mistake. 4. Skipping gears while accelerating: While you can skip gears when decelerating, you must shift up sequentially. Accelerating by skipping gears may cause insufficient power, leading to engine stalling and significant damage to the engine. You can practice gear shifting without starting the engine, moving from 1st to 5th gear and back, repeating the process multiple times. 5. Speed-gear mismatch: The test requires the gear to match the speed. Some candidates, due to nervousness, avoid shifting and drive at low speed for too long, which will definitely result in failure.
