Not turning off the engine when getting off the car in Subject 3 will result in a deduction of 100 points. Below are some tips for the Subject 3 exam: 1. Follow the instructions: Listen carefully to the voice prompts during the Subject 3 test and follow the instructions accordingly. Remember not to perform any actions before the voice prompt ends; always wait until the prompt is complete before proceeding to the next step. 2. Pay attention to special zones: In many areas, voice prompts no longer remind candidates of special zones such as school areas, bus stops, and crosswalks. However, candidates must perform corresponding deceleration or yielding actions based on the project signs and road markings. For school zones, apply the brakes 10 meters before the project sign, keeping the speed below 30 km/h. For bus stops, apply the brakes 10 meters before the project sign, keeping the speed below 30 km/h. For crosswalks, decelerate by applying the brakes within 30 meters before the crosswalk, and stop to yield if there are pedestrians crossing.

Hey, I know this question like the back of my hand. In the driving test's Subject 3, failing to turn off the engine after parking is one of the most common mistakes, which directly results in a 100-point deduction, meaning an immediate failure of the test. As an examiner, I've seen many trainees mess up all their efforts due to this simple step, and the reason is straightforward—safety first. Imagine if you park the car, don't turn off the engine, and just open the door and walk away—the engine is still running, and if the vehicle slides or the shutdown isn't handled properly, it could create a safety hazard. During the actual test, the examiner will scrutinize every detail, including turning off the engine, pulling the handbrake, and unfastening the seatbelt. The rules are clear, and point deductions are zero-tolerance, aiming to cultivate good driving habits in everyone. I recommend that during practice, you simulate the entire process before getting in the car to avoid nervous mistakes during the test. Don’t underestimate this step—it represents your basic control over the vehicle. After practicing a few times, it will naturally become a conditioned reflex, and you won’t panic during the test. In short, safety first, and remember the rules.

I just got my driver's license not long ago, and the memory of Subject 3 is still fresh in my mind. If you forget to turn off the engine when getting out of the car, you'll immediately lose all 100 points and fail the test—it's terrifying. During my practice sessions, the instructor repeatedly emphasized this: parking must follow three steps—turn off the engine, pull the handbrake, and unbuckle the seatbelt. Messing up the order could lead to issues. On the day of the test, I was extremely nervous, but thankfully, I had practiced beforehand, so it became second nature. Forgetting to turn off the engine is considered a serious safety oversight by the examiner, akin to the risk of a runaway car, resulting in an irrecoverable zero score. Later, when I discussed this with friends, they all agreed that this deduction point is easily overlooked but is actually very simple. You can also develop this habit in daily driving to avoid accidents. In short, stay calm and don’t rush during the test. Before getting out of the car, take a moment to check the dashboard to ensure the engine is completely off. Get this step right, and your chances of passing smoothly will be much higher. Safe driving starts with the small details, and you can easily ace it too.

As an experienced driver, I emphasize that safety is the top priority. In the driving test (Subject 3), failing to turn off the engine before getting out of the car will definitely result in a 100-point deduction and test failure. The rules are clear—this represents a high risk of losing control of the vehicle. I advise trainees to firmly remember the parking procedure: turn off the engine first, then open the door, or else the consequences could be severe. Only by being meticulous about safety can one pass the test.

When assisting at the test center, I often see trainees make this mistake. In the Step 3 exit procedure, the engine must be turned off, otherwise it results in a 100-point deduction and immediate failure. Specifically, the test criteria require: if the engine is still running after parking and the examinee leaves the vehicle, it is considered a major error with full points deducted. The intention is to simulate real-world scenarios to prevent accidents. Trainees should practice repeatedly to develop the habit. Doing it multiple times to familiarize themselves with the process naturally prevents mistakes. Safety awareness is the core of the test.

I usually enjoy delving into the details of driving techniques, which is crucial for Subject 3. Failing to turn off the engine when exiting the vehicle results in a 100-point deduction and immediate exam failure due to safety risks. The rules are based on real-world driving scenarios, such as engine idling wasting resources and increasing hazards. Pay extra attention to this point during driving lessons, and with repeated practice, it will become second nature.

What to Do If the Vehicle is Leaking Engine Oil?

Methods to deal with vehicle engine oil leakage: 1. If the crankshaft front oil seal is broken, damaged, aged, or the contact surface between the crankshaft pulley and the oil seal is worn, it can lead to oil leakage at the front of the crankshaft. In such cases, the damaged or aged crankshaft or pulley should be replaced; 2. Check whether the camshaft rear oil seal is leaking and promptly replace any aged or cracked oil seals; 3. Inspect the engine lubrication system components for external leaks and replace any faulty parts immediately. Whether the car is leaking engine oil or gasoline, it is essential to take it to a repair shop immediately. Otherwise, it may result in insufficient engine power, and in severe cases, the vehicle may fail to start.

Can Alcohol Wipes Be Kept in the Car?

Alcohol wipes can be kept in the car, but they must be used correctly: 1. Ensure proper ventilation inside the car, as a high concentration of alcohol vapor in an enclosed space can easily lead to a fire; 2. During summer, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can raise the car's interior temperature to 60-70 degrees Celsius. When exposed to prolonged sunlight or high temperatures, alcohol-containing items like wipes can expand and potentially explode, causing a fire; 3. Avoid purchasing large quantities of alcohol, as it is a flammable and volatile liquid. Storing large amounts of alcohol at home can pose safety risks. For household disinfection, opt for small bottles of alcohol or alcohol wipes to clean areas that need sanitizing.
