2 Answers
For the third subject of the driving test, 120 kilometers of valid mileage and 7.5 hours of valid study time are required. The test mileage regulations for different vehicle types in the third subject are as follows: 1. Bus test mileage: Large buses and medium-sized buses require no less than 20 kilometers, including no less than 10 kilometers during the day and no less than 5 kilometers at night. 2. Urban vehicle test mileage: Tractor trucks, city buses, and large trucks require no less than 10 kilometers, including no less than 5 kilometers during the day and no less than 3 kilometers at night. 3. Small vehicle test mileage: Small cars, small automatic transmission cars, low-speed trucks, and small automatic transmission cars for the disabled require no less than 3 kilometers, with no less than 20% of the tests conducted at night; if no night test is conducted, a simulated night light usage test should be performed.
Last year, for the third part of my driver's license test, the requirement was to accumulate 100 kilometers of driving practice, which is a standard setup at local driving schools in my area. I had to set aside time every day to practice driving, cruising around urban and suburban areas with my instructor to familiarize myself with various road conditions. Honestly, at first, the mileage seemed quite daunting, but gradually I understood its necessity—it allowed a beginner like me to gain real driving experience and avoid panicking during the test. The instructor always reminded me to use the automatic mileage logging system installed in the car and not to slack off or underreport. In reality, 100 kilometers sounds like a lot, but when spread over a few weeks of practice, it didn’t feel too difficult. The key was mastering turns and lane changes to ensure stability during the test.
