How many items are there in the B2 Subject 3 driving test?

[DelBrady]

The Subject 3 driving test for a B2 driver's license consists of 16 items. The road test items for a B2 driver's license include: preparation before starting, starting, driving straight, shifting gears, changing lanes, pulling over, 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. According to the appendix of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," a B2 driver's license allows the holder to drive heavy and medium-duty trucks, as well as heavy and medium-duty specialized operation vehicles. Other permitted vehicle types include: C1, C2, C3, C4, and M. Precautions for the B2 Subject 3 test: Starting: Close the door, fasten the seat belt, turn on the left turn signal, shift to second gear, honk the horn three times, observe the left rearview mirror, slowly release the clutch while accelerating and release the parking brake to start, avoiding rolling back. Going straight through intersections: Speed should not exceed 30 km/h or be below 20 km/h, and crossing the yellow line is prohibited. Bus stops: Speed should not exceed 30 km/h or be below 20 km/h, and crossing the yellow line is prohibited. Turning right at intersections: Turn on the left turn signal 3 seconds in advance, speed should not exceed 30 km/h or be below 20 km/h, and crossing the line is prohibited. Changing lanes: Turn on the left turn signal 3 seconds in advance, speed should not exceed 30 km/h or be below 20 km/h, and crossing the edge line is prohibited. Overtaking: Turn on the left turn signal 3 seconds in advance, speed should not exceed 30 km/h or be below 20 km/h, and crossing the edge line is prohibited. Turning left at intersections: Turn on the left turn signal 3 seconds in advance, speed should not exceed 30 km/h or be below 20 km/h, and crossing the line is prohibited. Passing school zones: Speed should not exceed 30 km/h or be below 20 km/h, crossing the line is prohibited, and honking is prohibited. Driving straight: Shift to fifth gear when speed exceeds 40 km/h, speed should be above 40 km/h, and crossing the line is prohibited. Accelerating: Shift to fifth gear when speed exceeds 40 km/h, speed should be above 40 km/h, and crossing the line is prohibited. Making U-turns: Choose an appropriate section, turn on the right turn signal, change to the far-right lane, stop, turn on the left turn signal, shift to second gear, make a two-forward-one-reverse U-turn, avoiding rolling back. Pulling over: Turn on the right turn signal for 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 3 scoring criteria: The following situations will result in immediate failure: Not using the seat belt as required; Blocking or turning off in-vehicle audio/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 an extended period, causing the engine to run at too high or too low RPM; Failing to shift gears twice in a row while driving; Coasting in neutral while driving; Not following traffic signals, signs, or markings; Not driving at the required speed; Driving over the solid center line or solid edge line of the road; Driving over the lane divider for more than 15 seconds; Changing two or more lanes consecutively; Parking in no-parking zones such as pedestrian crossings or grid lines; The candidate not attending the test 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. Preparation before starting: Failing to walk around the vehicle counterclockwise to inspect the vehicle's appearance and surroundings 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: Failing to shift gears smoothly as instructed will result in failure; Vehicle speed not matching the gear will result in a 10-point deduction. Pulling over: Parking with the vehicle body over the right edge of the road or the pedestrian crossing will result in failure; Failing to close the door after getting out will result in failure; Parking with the vehicle body more than 30 cm from the right edge of the road or the sidewalk will result in a 10-point deduction; Failing to engage the parking brake after parking will result in a 10-point deduction; Releasing the foot brake before engaging the parking brake will result in a 10-point deduction; Failing to turn off the engine before getting out will result in a 5-point deduction. Going straight through intersections, turning left at intersections, turning right at intersections: Failing to slow down or stop to observe as required will result in failure. Passing pedestrian crossings, school zones, or bus stops: Failing to slow down as required will result in failure.

I took the B2 driving license test, Part 3, which consists of 16 items including vehicle preparation, starting, driving straight, shifting gears, changing lanes, pulling over, going straight through intersections, left turns, right turns, crossing pedestrian crossings, passing school zones, passing bus stops, meeting oncoming traffic, overtaking, making U-turns, and night-time simulated lighting. The test really challenges your reaction skills, especially the night-time simulation where you have to correctly switch lights based on the examiner's instructions, or you'll lose points immediately. I believe practice is key—checking the vehicle's condition before each drive and simulating real road conditions can help avoid mistakes in advance. As a candidate, the pressure is high, but once you're familiar with each standard maneuver, you can complete it confidently. This test is designed to assess daily driving skills for large trucks, and no item should be underestimated—failing means retaking the test, wasting time and money. Practicing more with friends in a group, correcting each other's mistakes, helps you improve faster.

Having driven for years, I recall that the B2 license Category 3 test involves around 16 items, mainly divided into basic operations and road condition handling. For instance, driving straight requires steady steering wheel control at about 50km/h without deviation; gear shifting should be smooth to avoid jerking; slowing down and observing when passing bus stops and crosswalks is mandatory to prevent potential hazards. The most common failure point is lane changing—forgetting to signal or check mirrors often leads to point deductions. As someone who's been through it, I advise new test-takers to first master vehicle characteristics, like clutch pedal feel which may vary by model—a pre-test drive can save hassle. It's not just about skills but also cultivating safety awareness and calm response to emergencies. Remember, staying relaxed during the test and sticking to routine practice boosts success rates. Regularly watching test strategy videos helps accumulate handy tips.

The Subject 3 driving test typically consists of 16 items, including starting, changing lanes, and pulling over. Each item has clear standards, such as maintaining a straight line within 30cm and controlling speed appropriately when overtaking. Adequate preparation before the test is key, and practicing multiple times helps build familiarity.

B2 Subject 3 includes 16 items, designed to test comprehensive driving skills and ensure the safe operation of large vehicles. Scenarios such as passing school and bus zones simulate the appearance of children and pedestrians, requiring drivers to slow down and yield; nighttime simulations check compliance with lighting usage. Safety comes first, and every practice session should assume real-world conditions, such as signaling in advance when turning at intersections. The most common reasons for failing the exam are minor oversights, like not wearing a seatbelt or speeding. I believe this is not just a matter of numbers but about cultivating a sense of responsibility: driving large vehicles on the road involves public safety, and candidates must take it seriously. Checking the vehicle and rule manual before the exam can reduce simple mistakes.

The number of items in the Subject 3 exam varies by region, but the B2 standard includes 17 items: vehicle inspection, starting, driving straight, shifting gears, changing lanes, stopping, going straight at intersections, turning left or right, pedestrian crossings, school zones, bus stops, meeting oncoming vehicles, overtaking, making U-turns, nighttime simulation, and additional items in some areas. Each has detailed scoring criteria, such as pulling over within 30 cm of the curb. Variations exist as city policies may adjust, so it's recommended to check the local traffic management website for the latest list. As a test-taker, the focus should not be on memorizing the number of items but on understanding the skills: for example, shifting gears should be combined with engine RPM, and overtaking requires ensuring a safe distance. Participating in more mock exams to familiarize yourself with the process will comprehensively improve your pass rate.
