The subject three test for a B2 driver's license consists of 16 items. The road test items for B2 driver's license subject three include: vehicle preparation, starting, driving straight, shifting gears, changing lanes, pulling over, driving 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 night driving. According to the annex of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses": A B2 driver's license allows driving heavy and medium-duty trucks; heavy and medium-duty special operation vehicles. Other permitted vehicle types include: C1, C2, C3, C4, M. B2 subject three precautions: Starting: Close the door, fasten the seat belt, turn on the left signal, shift to second gear, honk three times, observe the left rearview mirror, slowly release the clutch, accelerate, and release the parking brake to start without rolling back; Driving straight through intersections: Speed should not exceed 30 or be below 20, and crossing the yellow line is prohibited; Bus stops: Speed should not exceed 30 or be below 20, and crossing the yellow line is prohibited; Turning right at intersections: Turn on the left signal 3 seconds in advance, speed should not exceed 30 or be below 20, and crossing the line is prohibited; Changing lanes: Turn on the left signal 3 seconds in advance, speed should not exceed 30 or be below 20, and crossing the boundary line is prohibited; Overtaking: Turn on the left signal 3 seconds in advance, speed should not exceed 30 or be below 20, and crossing the boundary line is prohibited; Turning left at intersections: Turn on the left signal 3 seconds in advance, speed should not exceed 30 or be below 20, and crossing the line is prohibited; Passing school zones: Speed should not exceed 30 or be below 20, crossing the line is prohibited, and honking is prohibited; Driving straight: Shift to fifth gear when speed exceeds 40, speed should be above 40, and crossing the line is prohibited; Accelerating: Shift to fifth gear when speed exceeds 40, speed should be above 40, and crossing the line is prohibited; Making U-turns: Choose a suitable section, turn on the right signal, change to the far right lane, stop, turn on the left signal, shift to second gear, make a two-forward-one-reverse U-turn without rolling back; Pulling over: Turn on the right signal 3 seconds before pulling over, the right wheel should not be more than 30 cm from the roadside line, engage the parking brake, and shift to neutral. B2 subject three scoring criteria: The following situations will result in immediate failure: Not using the seat belt as required; Blocking or turning off in-vehicle audio and video monitoring equipment; Not following the examiner's instructions; Rolling back more than 30 cm when starting; Using a gear that does not match the speed for a long time, causing the engine speed to be too high or too low; Failing to shift gears twice in a row while driving; Coasting in neutral while driving; Not following traffic lights, signs, or markings; Not driving at the required speed; Driving over the solid center line or lane boundary line; Driving over the lane divider for more than 15 seconds; Changing two or more lanes continuously; Parking in no-parking zones such as pedestrian crossings or grid lines; The examinee not attending the exam at the scheduled time; The following situations will result in a 10-point deduction: Rolling back when starting, but less than 30 cm; Shifting to the wrong gear when starting or driving; Not using or incorrectly using the turn signal before starting, turning, changing lanes, overtaking, or parking; Turning the steering wheel less than 3 seconds after turning on the turn signal before starting, turning, changing lanes, overtaking, or parking; Stalling the engine once due to improper operation. Vehicle preparation: Not checking the vehicle's exterior and surroundings by walking counterclockwise around the vehicle will result in failure. The following situations during starting will result in immediate failure: Starting with insufficient brake pressure; Starting with the door not fully closed; Not shifting to neutral when starting the engine; Starting without releasing the parking brake and not correcting it in time; The following situations will result in a 10-point deduction: Starting without releasing the parking brake but correcting it in time; Not releasing the starter switch in time after the engine starts. Shifting gears: Not shifting gears smoothly as instructed will result in failure; Vehicle speed not matching the gear will result in a 10-point deduction. Pulling over: After stopping, the vehicle body exceeding the right edge of the road or pedestrian crossing will result in failure; Not closing the door after getting off will result in failure; After stopping, the vehicle body being more than 30 cm from the right edge of the road or sidewalk will result in a 10-point deduction; Not engaging the parking brake after stopping will result in a 10-point deduction; Releasing the foot brake before engaging the parking brake will result in a 10-point deduction; Not turning off the engine before getting off will result in a 5-point deduction. Driving straight through intersections, turning left at intersections, turning right at intersections: Not slowing down or stopping to observe as required will result in failure. Passing pedestrian crossings, school zones, bus stops: Not slowing down as required will result in failure.
When taking the B2 driving license test for Subject 3, we found that there are 16 items to be tested, all of which are real on-road operations. For example, before starting, you need to walk around the car to check the tires, and after adjusting the seat, you also need to test the lights. While driving, you must complete basic actions such as shifting gears, driving straight, changing lanes, and overtaking. At intersections, you must watch the traffic lights, and when encountering a crosswalk, you must stop to yield to pedestrians. The most challenging part is pulling over to the side, which must be within 30 centimeters—any mistake means failing. During the night test, you also need to operate the headlight switches. Among these items, the most common mistakes are deviating from straight-line driving and forgetting to check the rearview mirror when changing lanes. When I was practicing, the instructor always emphasized that every detail must become muscle memory, as missing any action results in immediate points deduction.
During those days practicing for the B2 Subject 3 test, I spent eight hours daily at the training ground. The exam consisted of sixteen consecutive operations: from vehicle preparation to exiting and closing the door, with no mistakes allowed throughout. Mastering the light controls for switching between low and high beams, signaling before starting, and entering the waiting zone early for left turns at intersections were crucial. When changing lanes, the rearview mirror had to provide a clear view of the road conditions 100 meters behind, and overtaking maneuvers had to be completed within ten seconds. The most time was spent perfecting the 30 cm margin for roadside parking, aligning the wiper's raised point with the roadside line for accuracy. Approaching school zones required slowing down to 30 km/h in advance, and the final step of checking behind before exiting the vehicle was particularly easy to forget.
