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.

Looking back when I took the automatic transmission driving test (Subject 3), the 13 test items covered essential daily driving skills. The pre-driving check included seat adjustment and seatbelt confirmation. The starting phase assessed smooth acceleration techniques. Straight-line driving required maintaining steady direction. Lane changes demanded proper traffic judgment. Passing intersections and crosswalks demonstrated deceleration and yielding awareness. Oncoming vehicle encounters evaluated safe overtaking distance. The U-turn segment tested safe turning at intersections. Pulling over simulated real parking scenarios at designated roadside spots. Night driving examined proper light usage like headlight operation. Though gear-shifting was omitted to simplify the process, other items emphasized practical application to develop safety instincts - this built confidence for actual road driving later.

I believe the automatic transmission Category 3 driving test is scientifically and practically designed with 13 key points to ensure fundamental driving skills. Each item corresponds to safety scenarios: pre-driving checks prevent careless accidents, smooth starts avoid sudden acceleration, straight-line driving enhances control, lane changes require blind spot checks, intersections demand speed reduction and signal observation, oncoming traffic requires safe distance maintenance, overtaking necessitates proper timing assessment, U-turns ensure safe space utilization, precise roadside parking positioning, and nighttime light simulation prevents accidents. Although gear shifting is omitted, these comprehensive tests help cultivate good habits and reduce accident risks. New learners should master each item thoroughly to ensure road safety.

What to Do If You Can't Find the Car Owner to Move the Vehicle?

If you can't find the car owner to move the vehicle, you can call the insurance company's phone number posted on the car window and falsely claim that you have hit the car but cannot contact the owner. In this case, the insurance company will definitely call the owner immediately, and the owner will arrive promptly. This method works every time. Calling 122 is a more straightforward method. If you call 110, the call will eventually be transferred to 122, as 122 is the telephone service established by China's traffic management department to handle public traffic incidents. Simply provide the vehicle's model, license plate number, color, and other details, and the service hotline will immediately contact the driver. If the driver refuses to cooperate in moving the vehicle, traffic police will directly tow the car away. If the vehicle is blocking the road in a residential area's parking lot, you can directly contact the property management. The car owner is likely a resident of the community, and their information will be registered with the property management. Therefore, explaining the situation will prompt the property management to notify the owner to move the vehicle.

What is the best car insurance to get?

Priority should be given to purchasing full third-party liability insurance. Third-party insurance is the most important type of auto insurance. After all, the moment of car destruction and personal injury is unpredictable, but compensation for others cannot be waived. When buying car insurance, the ability to compensate for others' losses should be the top priority. Otherwise, the only option is to sell houses or assets after an accident occurs. The premise of the above loophole is that the other party has not applied for asset preservation against your property. Therefore, the insurance amounts for the second and third types of risks should refer to the local compensation standards. According to the highest compensation standards for car insurance, in the event of a fatality, the maximum compensation in Shenzhen can reach 1.5 million yuan, while in Beijing, it may also reach 800,000 yuan. For example, in a 2008 traffic accident where full responsibility was taken, resulting in one fatality of a 30-year-old, the compensation calculation estimated about 600,000 yuan. The sum of the above three items may exceed 600,000 yuan. If you are a car owner in Beijing, it is recommended to review your old policy. If the insurance amount is insufficient, it is advised to insure for at least 200,000 yuan, and if possible, 500,000 yuan. Do not save money on third-party liability insurance. For car owners without other accident or medical insurance, it is recommended to purchase a 100,000 yuan driver's insurance as medical expenses, which can be considered as taking responsibility for the family.
