How many points are deducted for not shaking head in Subject 3?

[Everett]

If it happens once, it should be 10 points, but if it happens multiple times, it will result in an immediate failure. Here is some relevant information about Subject 3: Overview: Subject 3, which includes the road driving skills test and the safe and civilized driving knowledge test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. It is the abbreviation for the road driving skills and safe and civilized driving knowledge test subjects in the motor vehicle driver's examination. The content of the road driving skills test varies for different types of vehicles. Test Content: The road driving skills test for Subject 3 generally includes: preparation before getting on the vehicle, simulated lighting test, starting, driving in a straight line, shifting gears, changing lanes, 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, making U-turns, and driving at night. The safe and civilized driving knowledge test generally includes: requirements for safe and civilized driving operations, knowledge of safe driving under adverse weather and complex road conditions, emergency handling methods for situations such as tire blowouts, and knowledge of post-accident handling procedures.

When I took the driving test for Subject 3 before, I was extremely nervous and almost failed because I didn’t turn my head to check both sides. Actually, turning the head refers to looking at the left and right rearview mirrors and blind spots, which is a mandatory test item. The examiner told me this action is crucial because it prevents failing to see other vehicles or pedestrians when changing lanes or turning. In the test scoring criteria, not turning the head usually deducts 10 to 15 points, depending on the severity and local test regulations. That time, I was deducted 15 points—any more would have been risky, as failing the test typically requires a total deduction of 30 points out of 100. So, everyone must develop this habit during practice. Simulate the head-turning action a few times before getting in the car, unlike me who crammed at the last minute. Practice more with friends and remind each other—this small thing can make the test much smoother.

Speaking of the head-turning requirement in the driving test (Subject 3), I have deep feelings about it. The head turn is meant to safely check blind spots by turning your head. If you don't do it, the examiner will consider you lacking safety awareness. Based on my experience, this mistake can cost you 10 to 20 points, depending on the test situation and the examiner's strictness. My friend forgot to turn his head once during the test and was directly deducted 12 points, which made him even more nervous afterward. My practice suggestion is: don't just memorize the action—think about how dangerous blind spots are in real driving. If an accident happens while changing lanes, it's game over. I recommend simulating urban road conditions more often at the training ground to build muscle memory, so it becomes natural during the test. Losing points is a small matter, but safety is a big deal. Developing this habit brings many benefits.

The head-check during the driving test (Subject 3) is crucial, and missing it will result in point deductions. Generally, failing to perform the head-check leads to a 10 to 15-point penalty, as it affects safety judgment. During the test, movements must be executed thoroughly, including turning your head to check blind spots when changing lanes or making turns. I learned that even minor mistakes like this can't be overlooked during my test, as they quickly lower your score. Practice more to develop the habit—safety comes first.
