Rolling back in Subject 3 deducts 10 points. Here are the specific details: 1. Deduction rules: Failing to walk around the vehicle before getting in or turning in the wrong direction, or not waiting for the examiner to confirm identity, starting the vehicle without turning it on before performing simulated lighting operations, or performing simulated lighting operations with omissions, excess actions, exceeding 5 seconds, or not turning on the lights as instructed, all these situations result in failure; not turning on the turn signal when starting, not fastening the seatbelt, not releasing the handbrake, rolling back more than 30CM after starting all result in failure, rolling back less than 30CM or turning on the turn signal for less than 5 seconds deducts 10 points. 2. Subject 3 test content: For large buses, tractors, city buses, medium buses, large trucks, small cars, small automatic transmission cars, low-speed trucks, and small automatic transmission cars for the disabled, the test includes preparation before getting in the vehicle, simulated nighttime lighting test, starting, driving in a straight line, shifting gears, changing lanes, parking by the side of the road, driving 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, nighttime driving; test contents for other permitted vehicle types are determined by the provincial traffic management department of the public security authority.
I just passed the Subject 3 test not long ago, let me share the point deductions for rolling back. During the test, if the vehicle rolls back less than 30 cm, 10 points will be deducted; if it rolls back more than 30 cm, 100 points will be deducted directly, resulting in test failure. I personally experienced almost rolling back when starting on a small slope, but luckily I stabilized the clutch and only lost 10 points. The key is to control the coordination between the clutch and the accelerator, and don’t release the foot brake too quickly. Practicing uphill parking more often and getting familiar with the vehicle’s engagement point can effectively avoid this mistake. The total test score is 100 points, and minor deductions can still pass, but if mistakes accumulate, you may fail. It’s recommended to find an experienced driver to guide your practice and enhance your feel, so nervousness doesn’t mess things up. Remember, fastening the seatbelt and starting smoothly are key points in the test.
