How many meters should be driven in 3rd gear for Subject 3?
2 Answers
In the Subject 3 examination, there is no restriction on the driving distance in 3rd gear, only the driving speed in 3rd gear is limited. Related introduction: Introduction: The road driving skills test for Subject 3 generally includes: vehicle preparation, light simulation test, starting, straight-line driving, gear shifting operation, lane changing, parking by the roadside, going straight through intersections, turning left at intersections, turning right at intersections, passing pedestrian crossings, passing school zones, passing bus stops, meeting vehicles, overtaking, turning around, and nighttime driving. Expansion: The safety and civilized driving knowledge test generally includes: requirements for safe and civilized driving operations, safe driving knowledge under adverse weather and complex road conditions, emergency handling methods for situations such as tire blowouts, and post-accident handling knowledge.
Actually, the specific distance for driving in third gear during the Subject 3 test depends on local regulations, but the basic requirement is to maintain third gear continuously for at least 150 meters. When I was taking my driving test, the instructor particularly emphasized this distance requirement because the testing system uses GPS positioning to measure the driving length. It's best to practice this maneuver on straight roads during training, and remember to keep the speed between 25 km/h and 40 km/h after shifting gears for stability. Avoid slowing down immediately after shifting to third gear, as that might be judged as failing to meet the distance requirement. A small tip is to glance at the dashboard to track the distance—wait until you've exceeded 200 meters before shifting gears to be on the safe side, since exam nerves can lead to rushing the operation.
