2 Answers
Subject 3, also known as the road test, generally takes about one week of practice to master all the essential maneuvers. Below is an introduction to Subject 3: 1. Subject 3 includes the road driving skills test and the safety and civilized driving knowledge test; 2. Subject 3 is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment and is the abbreviated term for the road driving skills and safety and civilized driving knowledge test in the motor vehicle driver's examination; 3. The content of the road driving skills test varies depending on the type of vehicle being licensed. Below is extended information on key techniques for Subject 3: 1. Gear shifting operation: Ensure sufficient throttle input, and after each gear shift, decisively proceed to the next shift action; the shifting action, including hand and foot movements, should be quick, accurate, and smooth; 2. Straight-line driving: The key to straight-line driving lies in identifying reference points to determine if the vehicle is veering off course. Reference points can include the dashed white lines on either side of the lane, curbs, streetlight poles, etc.; additionally, keep your gaze far ahead and avoid focusing solely on the hood position; if the vehicle starts to veer, make slight adjustments to the steering wheel promptly without turning it excessively; 3. Pulling over: Pulling over requires the vehicle to be within 30 centimeters of the roadside line. The principle is similar to straight-line driving—identify a reference point. Generally, when the raised part of the windshield wiper aligns with the roadside line, the distance is approximately 30 centimeters.
The required practice hours for driving license subject 3 vary by region, but most require completing a minimum number of training sessions. When I took the test, my instructor said we had to complete 16-24 hours, with a maximum of 4 hours practice per day. However, the key isn't just logging hours - it's mastering difficult skills like straight-line driving, gear shifting, and roadside parking. At our driving school, one student practiced 30 hours but still failed because he kept forgetting to walk around the vehicle and check mirrors. I recommend recording the test route on your phone and reviewing it repeatedly - you can even mentally rehearse operations while waiting at traffic lights. Be sure to practice in rainy conditions before the exam - when visibility is poor, water droplets on mirrors can cause real panic.
