Does stopping midway during Subject 3 result in penalty points?

[VanAlexandra]

Stopping midway directly results in a 100-point deduction, which is treated as a failure. Except for stopping at red lights at intersections during Subject 3, stopping is not required at other times. Below are the penalty points for pulling over during the Subject 3 road test: 1. 100-point deduction (failure): Failing to observe the traffic conditions behind and to the right through the interior and exterior rearview mirrors before stopping results in a failure. If the examiner issues the command to pull over but the examinee fails to stop within the specified distance, it results in a failure. After stopping, if the vehicle body exceeds the right edge line of the road or the sidewalk edge line, it results in a failure. 2. 10-point deduction: Failing to use or incorrectly using the turn signal before stopping results in a 10-point deduction. Turning the steering wheel before the turn signal has been on for at least 3 seconds results in a 10-point deduction.

Stopping midway during the road test (Subject 3) will result in point deductions! For example, stopping at a green light intersection or stalling the engine when pulling over without properly stopping the vehicle will incur a 10-point penalty. The most daunting part of the exam is encountering unexpected situations. Once during my test, an electric scooter suddenly turned in front of me, forcing me to brake abruptly. Although no collision occurred, I was penalized for improper stopping. It's advisable to master the hill-start technique during practice sessions. When encountering slow-moving vehicles ahead, downshift in advance to maintain a safe distance and avoid being forced to stop too closely. Remember, after stopping, you must shift to neutral and engage the handbrake to meet the standard operating procedure. Always signal and check the rearview mirror before starting again.

I can relate to this deeply. Stopping midway during the driving test (Subject 3) will indeed result in point deductions. Last time when I accompanied a friend for his test, he stopped 30 meters before a crosswalk to yield to pedestrians, but the system judged it as an illegal stop at the intersection and directly deducted 10 points. The examiner later said such proactive yielding behavior was commendable, but the test rules are rigid. Key reminder: In school zones, you must observe and slow down but cannot stop, and stopping within 50 meters of a bus stop is also prohibited. If you're unlucky enough to encounter a vehicle cutting in, it's better to reduce speed rather than come to a complete stop—using the clutch for semi-engagement to control the speed is the safest approach.

Stopping during the driving test (Subject 3) results in penalty points depending on the situation. The exam rules clearly state: Stopping where you shouldn't costs 10 points, while failing to stop when required leads to immediate failure (e.g., not stopping at a red light). My instructor taught me a trick: If you can't proceed at a green light intersection, slow down and shift to 1st gear 5 meters before the stop line, then slowly release the clutch to creep forward - this doesn't count as stopping. Note particularly that stopping during the straight-line driving section results in an immediate 100-point deduction, so it's best to maintain a steady 25 km/h speed. Before the test, remember to check the handbrake sensitivity - one student failed because their car rolled back after slope parking due to an incompletely released handbrake, which also counted as improper stopping.

As a veteran who has taken the test three times, let me tell you the key points of point deduction for stopping midway: First, stopping during an ongoing maneuver (e.g., stopping while changing lanes) deducts 10 points; second, stalling the engine deducts another 10 points. The most unfair experience I had was when I stopped for pedestrians during a right turn, stalled while starting again, and got double deductions. Advice: Release the throttle early when approaching intersections, prepare to brake, and use the clutch to control the speed at around 10 km/h for creeping. If forced to stop, complete the actions of shifting to neutral + pulling the handbrake + shifting to 1st gear + observing within 5 seconds. Remember, stopping for over 30 seconds will automatically result in a fail.
