How many points are deducted for not stalling in Subject 3?

[MacLeo]

Not stalling in Subject 3 deducts 5 points. Here are the relevant details: 1. Surrounding environment: Failing to walk around the vehicle to inspect its appearance and the surrounding environment results in disqualification; not observing the traffic behind before opening the car door results in disqualification. 2. Insufficient air pressure: Starting with insufficient brake air pressure results in disqualification; starting without fully closing the car door results in disqualification; before starting, not observing the interior and exterior rearview mirrors or turning the head to observe the traffic behind results in disqualification; when starting the engine, not placing the transmission control lever in the neutral (parking) position results in disqualification; starting without releasing the parking brake and failing to correct it promptly results in disqualification; starting without releasing the parking brake but correcting it promptly deducts 10 points.

I still remember that unforgettable experience when I stalled during my driving test (Subject 3) and got a full 10 points deducted. At the time, I was a bit nervous during startup and released the clutch too quickly—the car jerked and stalled, and the examiner immediately wrote down the deduction on the score sheet. The total test score was 100, with 90 needed to pass, so I had to be extra careful on the subsequent items. Stalling deducts so many points because it shows unstable control, which could lead to real-road dangers, like suddenly stopping and getting rear-ended. Since then, I’ve practiced more on clutch control, focusing on hill starts and coordinating the throttle and clutch to maintain smoothness. Practicing more at the driving school to get familiar with the car’s response, taking it slow during the test, and keeping a relaxed mindset can help avoid stalling. Actually, stalling is a common issue for beginners, but once mastered, it’s fine—nowadays, I rarely make mistakes while driving and have become a safer driver.

Stalling during the driving test (Subject 3) typically results in a 10-point deduction, which is a strict rule. Especially if it happens during startup, it's considered a major mistake. Examiners pay close attention to this because stalling reflects insufficient basic driving skills, which can easily lead to accidents in complex road conditions, such as sudden braking by vehicles behind you, posing high risks. I've taught several students who often stalled due to nervousness and poor coordination during startup, leading to point deductions and subsequent frustration. However, I always emphasize practicing clutch control—lightly pressing the accelerator before slowly releasing the clutch to get a feel for it. Repeated practical exercises can improve performance. The passing score for the test is 90 points, so losing 10 points means you're just one step away from passing. Therefore, don't overlook daily training. Start with simple road sections and gradually increase the difficulty. Safe driving starts with solid fundamentals, and the point deduction system is a reasonable way to protect everyone.

My buddy was taking the driving test for Subject 3. When he started the car, he got too nervous and stalled it. The examiner coldly said, 'Deduct 10 points.' His face turned green. He almost failed that test, but thanks to a perfect score on the reverse parking, he barely passed with an 86. The rules for stalling are strictly enforced—examiners watch closely because stalling on the road could lead to a rear-end collision, which is really dangerous. Before my test, I practiced starting the car for half a day, and now I'm really good at it. New drivers, remember to coordinate the gas and clutch—let the clutch out slowly. Being too tense can lead to mistakes. Actually, after driving a few more times, it’ll become natural. Safe driving comes first.

Stalling in Subject 3 will definitely deduct 10 points. Standard operation shows no mercy, mostly occurring during starting or low-speed turns. The examiner judges on the spot, reflecting control deficiencies. The test core examines safety skills, hence the strict deduction. It is recommended to strengthen clutch techniques before the test, focusing on the coordination between throttle and clutch. When starting, lightly press the throttle and slowly release the clutch, maintaining the semi-linked state. Feel the car shake and adjust immediately. Increase simulation training to familiarize with the vehicle's stalling signals and timely remedies. Passing the test becomes easier. Safe driving habits eliminate mistakes from details.
