How many points are deducted for each mistake in the Subject 3 lighting test?

Subject 3 lighting test deducts 100 points directly for each mistake, leading to failure in the Subject 3 test. Below is an introduction to the random lighting test in Subject 3: Subject 3 lighting test items: The Subject 3 lighting simulation test examines low beam, high beam, alternating between high and low beams, width indicator lights, and hazard warning lights. During the lighting simulation test, upon hearing the voice prompt indicating the start of the lighting test, turn on the main lighting switch. Each lighting instruction must be operated within 5 seconds after the instruction is given. After the lighting test is completed, turn off all lights. If the lighting test fails, the Subject 3 test fails, and you must wait for the second test opportunity. Tips for the Subject 3 lighting test: Students must master the relevant details and understand the meaning of each lighting operation. When operating, students should not rush. Before the test, ensure to check the lights properly and avoid operating before the voice prompt.
When I was taking the lighting section of the driving test (Subject 3), I was so nervous that my hands were shaking, and I accidentally made a mistake in one action, which resulted in a direct deduction of 10 points. The examiner said the lighting test standard is a full score of 100 points, with a passing grade of 90. If one mistake deducts 10 points, you could easily fail. I was lucky to pass with over 80 points that time, but if I had made one more mistake, it would have been over. The lighting test includes switching between high and low beams, turning fog lights on and off, etc. These may seem simple, but they are crucial for driving. Not using lights properly at night can easily lead to accidents, or using the wrong lights in poor visibility during rain can cause rear-end collisions. So, before the test, I practiced intensely for half a month, simulating the test multiple times in a friend’s car. The key is to familiarize yourself with the position of the car’s light switches—don’t just memorize them, but develop habitual movements. I advise beginners not to underestimate this part—one mistake could mean retaking the test, wasting both time and money.
