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.
