Failed the first attempt in Subject 3, do I need to get off the car for the second attempt?

Failed the first attempt in Subject 3, you don't need to get off the car for the second attempt. Here are some precautions for Subject 3: 1. Speed and gear mismatch: Before shifting gears, make sure to increase or decrease the speed to match the gear, and then shift. 2. Deviation in straight-line driving: Many students deliberately slow down because they are worried that the driving path is not straight, which is not advisable. Doing so will increase the possibility of the vehicle's path deviating, so it is better to maintain a reasonable and steady speed. 3. Parking more than 30cm from the curb: In the Subject 3 test, it is clearly required that the parking distance from the curb should not exceed 30cm, but this distance is difficult for students to grasp. Many students park too far from the curb, so this point needs special attention.

When I took the third driving test, I failed the straight-line driving section on my first attempt. The safety officer immediately instructed me not to exit the vehicle and drove the car back to the starting point to begin the second attempt. I never left the driver's seat the entire time—after adjusting the seat, I directly retook the test. In fact, most test centers follow similar rules: if you fail, the system will either have you complete the remaining route or return to the starting point, and the safety officer will initiate the second test via a button. However, pay close attention to the voice prompts and the examiner's instructions—if you're asked to exit the car and perform a walk-around inspection, you must comply. The key is to stay calm and not let the first attempt affect your performance.

Don't panic if you fail the first attempt in Subject 3 (Road Test), usually there's no need to rush out of the car. Last time I failed because I crossed the line during parallel parking, the examiner just asked me to drive forward a bit, make a U-turn and retry. If the car is parked in a safe position, the examiner might let you proceed directly with the second attempt; if the position is inappropriate, he'll instruct you to drive back to the starting point. Remember, as long as you don't hear the examiner explicitly tell you to exit or the system doesn't announce the end of the test, just stay in the driver's seat waiting for further instructions. This is a good time to take deep breaths, adjust your state, and reflect on what went wrong last time.

I just took the third driving test last month and failed at the very beginning during the light simulation. The safety officer waved to continue driving, and I didn't have to get out of the car throughout the process—just went back to the starting point for the second attempt. As far as I know, unless there are special circumstances like vehicle malfunction, there's usually no need to specifically get out of the car. The examiner cares more about your ability to follow instructions, and leaving the car without permission might actually be a violation. The key is to focus on the second attempt—for example, I forgot to use the turn signal the first time, so I paid extra attention to every detail during the second try.
