How many items are there in the automatic transmission driving test (Subject 3)?

[DiCarlos]

There are 16 items in the automatic transmission Subject 3 driving test. Below is a detailed introduction to the automatic transmission Subject 3 test: 1. Specific test items: Vehicle preparation, starting, driving in a straight line, gear shifting operations, changing lanes, going straight through intersections, left turns at intersections, right turns at intersections, passing through pedestrian crossings, passing through school zones, passing through bus stops, meeting oncoming vehicles, overtaking, making U-turns, nighttime driving, and pulling over to park. 2. Precautions: The clutch should only be used when starting, shifting up, shifting down, or stopping. Do not press the clutch during normal driving. When slightly reducing speed due to traffic conditions, only use the brake to avoid coasting out of gear. The traffic light will flash several times before changing from green to red. At this time, based on the distance to the intersection and vehicle speed, press the accelerator if the distance is short and the speed hasn't decreased sufficiently.

I just passed the automatic transmission Subject 3 test, and it was quite an experience with a total of 13 items to complete. The test started with pre-driving preparations, including basic steps like fastening the seatbelt, adjusting the seat and mirrors. Then came the starting procedure, ensuring the car starts smoothly without jerking. Driving straight required keeping the car aligned without veering off course. Changing lanes involved using turn signals and checking mirrors. Next were intersections, crosswalks, school zones, and bus stops, where slowing down and observing traffic signals was essential. Meeting and overtaking other vehicles tested judgment skills, requiring maintaining a safe distance. The U-turn section assessed how to make a smooth turn at intersections. Pulling over was a critical point, needing to park within a specified distance from the curb. Finally, there was a night driving simulation, operating lights like headlights and fog lights. The whole process took me about half an hour, with the focus on safe driving awareness. Since driving an automatic transmission car doesn't involve gear shifting, it saved a lot of mental effort, but each item wasn't simple and required careful attention.

As an instructor who has trained many students, I've summarized that the automatic transmission Category 3 driving test typically consists of 13 items, fewer than the manual transmission test by omitting gear shifting operations. The exam process starts with pre-driving preparations, emphasizing seatbelt adjustment and vehicle condition checks. Smooth starting without stalling is required (though it's not a manual transmission). Maintain steady speed during straight-line driving. Use turn signals and check mirrors for safe lane changes. The road test section evaluates observation skills at intersections, crosswalks, and similar areas. Exercise caution when meeting oncoming traffic during encounters, and assess timing carefully for overtaking. Complete U-turns at designated locations with proper space evaluation. Precise positioning during roadside parking is a key scoring item. Night simulation includes operating high beams and emergency lights. These items cover daily driving scenarios to cultivate safe habits, allowing students to focus on rules practice without gear shifting. During every exam preparation, I emphasize practicing roadside parking and light operations repeatedly to avoid mistakes.

When learning to drive an automatic car for the third subject of the driving test, there aren't too many items to practice, approximately 13 or so. The steps include preparatory actions like fastening the seatbelt. Then, starting the car smoothly is essential. During straight-line driving, maintain a straight direction. When changing lanes, observe the rear vehicles to avoid accidents. At intersections, slow down and be cautious of pedestrian crossings. Finally, pull over to the side of the road accurately. There's also a nighttime simulation section involving light operations such as using turn signals. Not having to worry about shifting gears makes the test simpler, focusing entirely on safety rules. The examiner observes each step and scores accordingly; as long as you complete all sections without mistakes, you'll generally pass. The main thing is to remember the rules and avoid running red lights.
