2 Answers
Subject 3 night test has been canceled. The content of the Subject 3 skill test includes: preparing to get on the car, simulated light test, starting, driving in a straight line, shifting gears, changing lanes, parking by the roadside, going straight through intersections, turning left at intersections, turning right at intersections, passing through pedestrian crossings, passing through school zones, passing through bus stops, meeting vehicles, overtaking, and making U-turns. The following is a related introduction to Subject 3: Test content: requirements for safe and civilized driving operations, knowledge of safe driving under adverse weather and complex road conditions, methods for handling emergencies such as tire blowouts, and knowledge of handling after traffic accidents. Passing standard: The full score for the Subject 3 road driving skills and safe and civilized driving common sense test is 100 points, and a score of 90 points is required to pass. Test time: Starting from June 1, 2021, the interval between Subject 3 test appointments has been adjusted from 30 days after passing the Subject 1 test to 20 days. For cases of adding a medium or large passenger or truck driver's license, the interval between Subject 3 test appointments has been adjusted from 40 days after passing the Subject 1 test to 30 days.
I'm a student who got my driver's license last year, and indeed, the nighttime driving test is no longer part of the Subject 3 exam. After the driving test reform in 2017, the separate nighttime test for Category C licenses has been abolished. Now, all tests are conducted during the day, but don't celebrate too soon! The light operation has become a mandatory test item, including the use of lights in simulated nighttime scenarios. During the test, when you hear voice prompts like 'passing a sharp curve at night' or 'temporary parking on the roadside at night,' you must correctly switch the lights within 5 seconds. The instructor said that the most common reason for failing now is the light operation, after all, you need to develop muscle memory for the positions of buttons like high-low beam alternation and position lights to react in time.
