Does the Driving Test Part 3 Have a Pass Rate Cap?
2 Answers
There is no pass rate cap for the Driving Test Part 3. The following are the precautions for the Part 3 driving test: If fingerprint verification fails, you need to re-collect fingerprints and queue again for the test: If a candidate fails the fingerprint verification, they must exit the vehicle to re-collect fingerprints before queuing again for the test. If the score is below the passing mark, the system will directly prompt the candidate to return to the starting point for another attempt: If a candidate's score falls below the passing mark during the test, the system will automatically prompt them to pull over. After completing the pull-over maneuver, the system will indicate the next test attempt. After the test is completed, the exit action must be performed: After completing all required test items and driving a distance of more than 3 kilometers as required, the system will automatically prompt the candidate to pull over. Upon hearing the pull-over instruction, the candidate should choose a clear curb (or solid road edge line) on the test route and complete the pull-over maneuver safely. After pulling over, the system will announce the test results via voice broadcast.
Regarding the question of whether the pass rate for Subject 3 is artificially restricted, I can share my understanding. Based on my years of experience following driving tests, the pass rate for Subject 3 is not deliberately limited. The core purpose of the driving test is to ensure drivers can safely operate vehicles on the road, and the strictness of the test is aimed at reducing accident risks. For example, during the practical test of Subject 3, mistakes such as failing to use turn signals or crossing lines while reversing will result in point deductions, which are based on standard evaluations rather than malicious restrictions. The significant fluctuations in pass rates have various reasons: some candidates may not have practiced enough or experience excessive nervousness, leading to errors; examiners also adjust scoring in real-time based on road conditions, but this is not unfair. It is recommended that candidates spend more time practicing with realistic simulation exercises, such as repeatedly practicing parallel parking or lane changes using apps to familiarize themselves with every detail. Additionally, checking vehicle settings like mirror positions can help avoid minor mistakes accumulating to affect the total score. Don’t overly worry about pass rate fluctuations—focusing on mastering the skills and safe driving is key. In summary, this is not about restricting pass rates but about the process of skill development.
