How many points are deducted for rolling back in Subject 3?

[LeLeila]

Ten points are deducted for rolling back in Subject 3. The following is relevant information about Subject 3: 1. Basic test items: preparation before getting on the car (walk around the car counterclockwise, get on the car, fasten the seat belt, turn on the left turn signal, shift gears, release the handbrake, and honk the horn), starting, driving straight, changing lanes, passing intersections, parking by the roadside, passing pedestrian crossings, passing school zones, passing bus stops, meeting vehicles, overtaking, making U-turns, and driving at night. 2. Basic test process: The driver's license test is conducted to obtain a motor vehicle driver's license. The test content and passing standards are unified nationwide. The test is divided into three subjects and four tests: theoretical knowledge, field driving skills, road driving skills, and civilized driving-related knowledge. The basic process of the driver's license test includes filling out forms, physical examination, acceptance, payment, testing, and certificate issuance.

I still remember when I was first learning to drive, the most nerve-wracking part of the driving test (Subject 3) was the hill start to prevent rolling back. The exam rules were clear: if the car rolled back more than 30 centimeters, the examiner would deduct 100 points immediately, resulting in an automatic fail. For minor rollbacks under 30 centimeters, you might only lose 10 points, but scoring below 80 overall still meant failing. Honestly, this wasn't the examiner being harsh—it was to emphasize driving safety, as rolling back on real roads could lead to rear-end collisions. During practice, my instructor repeatedly stressed that a smooth hill start relies on mastering the clutch's half-engagement point: release it slowly until you feel the car's power, then release the brake. With enough practice to build muscle memory, you'll stay calm during the test. Don’t rush—safety comes first. Passing on the first try saves both stress and money.

A friend who just finished the third driving test asked me about the penalty for rolling back. I shared my personal experience: Before the test that day, I was so nervous that my palms were sweaty. The instructor said rolling back more than 30 centimeters would result in a full 100-point deduction and an automatic fail. Even a slight backward movement during start-up would be noticed. My advice is to always engage the handbrake when stopping on a slope. When starting, slowly release the clutch, hold it at the semi-engaged point, and then release the brake to prevent rolling. The standard is clear: more than 30cm means a full deduction and failure, less than that deducts 10 points, but accumulating other mistakes can still make passing difficult. Practicing hill starts in pre-test simulations can prevent problems. Now, looking back, the test was a fundamental safety lesson—developing good habits benefits you for life.

After years of teaching driving, I've seen countless students lose points on Subject 3 due to rolling back. The rules are specific: rolling back over 30cm results in a full 100-point deduction and failing the test, while less than that deducts 10 points, but you need over 80 points to pass. The main cause is poor clutch control leading to rolling, which examiners penalize on the spot. In my teaching, I emphasize three key points: always engage the handbrake when stopping—don't skip steps, ensure the clutch is at the biting point before lifting your foot when starting, and stay calm—don't rush. Practicing this detail ensures test success and prevents road hazards. Safe driving starts with the small things.
