2 Answers
Subject 3 requires a mileage of 270 kilometers before you can schedule the test. 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 subjects in the motor vehicle driver's test. The content of the road driving skills test varies for different types of vehicles eligible for driving. Subject 3 test content: The road driving skills test for Subject 3 generally includes: preparation before getting on the car, light simulation test, starting, driving in a straight line, shifting gears, changing lanes, pulling over, going straight through intersections, turning left at intersections, turning right at intersections, passing pedestrian crossings, passing school zones, passing bus stops, meeting vehicles, overtaking, making U-turns, and driving at night. There are three deduction standards in the Subject 3 test, deducting 5 points, 10 points, or 100 points. The different deduction standards are as follows: Deduct 100 points: Before stopping, not observing the traffic behind and to the right through the interior and exterior rearview mirrors; After the examiner issues the instruction to pull over, failing to stop within the specified distance; After stopping, the vehicle body exceeds the right edge of the road or the edge of the sidewalk; After stopping, not turning your head to observe the traffic behind and to the left before opening the door; Not closing the door after getting out of the car. Deduct 10 points: After stopping, the vehicle body is more than 30cm away from the right edge of the road or the edge of the sidewalk; After stopping, not tightening the parking brake; Releasing the foot brake pedal before tightening the parking brake. Deduct 5 points: Not turning off the engine before getting out of the car.
When I was getting my driver's license, the instructor clearly stated that the subject three test doesn't focus on mileage at all, but rather requires completing the prescribed training hours. For a C1 license, you typically need around 32 hours of practice, including hands-on skills like reverse parking and parallel parking. I remember squeezing in two hours of practice every day, with more intensive sessions on weekends, accumulating about 200-300 kilometers in total, but that was the result, not a requirement. Driving schools set different hour standards based on vehicle types, with the key being to prove you've mastered safe driving skills through proficiency. Many people mistakenly think they need to drive hundreds of kilometers to take the test, but regular attendance and effective training are what truly matter. For preparation, I recommend using simulators for supplementary practice to save time and reduce nervousness. The final test mainly evaluates your ability to handle real road conditions, including whether maneuvers like starting and lane changes are performed correctly.
