Normally, beginners need about 5 days of practice for Subject 3. For students with a weaker sense of direction, it may take around 7 days to master. Although Subject 3 has many test items, they are all basic operations, and many skills have already been learned in Subject 2. Subject 3 includes the road driving skills test and the safety and civilized driving knowledge test, which are part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. It is the abbreviation for the road driving skills and safety and civilized driving knowledge test in the motor vehicle driver's examination. The content of the road driving skills test varies for different types of vehicles. The specific details are as follows: 1. Road driving skills test for Subject 3: The content generally includes: preparation before driving, simulated lighting test, starting, driving straight, shifting gears, changing lanes, parking by the roadside, going straight through intersections, turning left at intersections, turning right at intersections, crossing pedestrian crossings, passing school zones, passing bus stops, meeting vehicles, overtaking, making U-turns, and driving at night. 2. Safety and civilized driving knowledge test: The content generally includes: requirements for safe and civilized driving operations, safe driving knowledge under adverse weather and complex road conditions, emergency handling methods for situations like tire blowouts, and knowledge of handling after traffic accidents.

The number of practice days needed for a beginner in Subject 3 varies from person to person. Based on my years of teaching experience, most people can pass after practicing for five to seven days. The key is to practice continuously for two to three hours every day, focusing on challenging maneuvers such as hill starts, parallel parking, and turning/lane changes. Practice isn’t just about driving—it should also incorporate traffic rules and simulate exam conditions to avoid panic during the actual test. Among the beginners I’ve taught, some got the hang of it in just three days due to strong fundamentals and good road sense, while others who were more timid took up to ten days to become proficient. My advice is not to rush—safety comes first. Practice basic maneuvers in open areas until you’re fully comfortable before hitting real roads. On the exam day, stay calm, and your chances of success will be much higher.

Parking in First Gear or Neutral?

When parking, you can either engage first gear or neutral. Engaging first gear can prevent the vehicle from rolling. Below are specific instructions regarding parking gear selection: 1. On generally flat road surfaces, first gear should be engaged when parking. 2. When parking on an uphill slope, engage a forward gear; when parking on a downhill slope, engage reverse gear. Below are expanded notes on gear-shifting taboos: 1. Looking down at the gear lever while shifting. 2. Prolonged driving in low gear. Generally, higher gears are more fuel-efficient than lower gears. Therefore, upshift promptly after starting. 3. Failing to fully depress the clutch when shifting, which can damage gears. Additionally, when not using the clutch, avoid resting your foot on it to prevent excessive wear on the release bearing. 4. Veering off course while shifting gears. 5. Forcing the gear lever when unable to engage a gear smoothly. 6. Rocking the gear lever back and forth when in neutral. This can cause unnecessary wear on components and affect shift timing. 7. Skipping gears when upshifting. Upshifting should be done sequentially to maintain continuous power, while downshifting can skip gears. 8. Engaging reverse gear before the vehicle comes to a complete stop. This can easily damage gears.

How to Clean Car Seat Belts?

Cleaning tips for seat belts: 1. For stains on car interior items, foam cleaner is practically a universal solution. Spray the cleaner onto the seat belt, wait for a dozen seconds, then gently scrub with a soft brush. After cleaning, wipe it dry with a clean towel. Note: Do not use the seat belt before it is completely dry. 2. If foam cleaner is not available, soapy water can also be used for cleaning. Avoid using highly corrosive cleaning products. Fully extend the seat belt and secure the top with a binder clip, then soak the belt in warm soapy water. After cleaning, dry it with a soft cloth. 3. Before the seat belt is completely dry, do not remove the binder clip at the top. Wait until it is fully dry before retracting it. If the seat belt fails to tighten promptly after cleaning, it is advisable to have it inspected at a professional repair shop.
