How many points will be deducted for not braking at a bus stop in Subject 3?

[MelanieMarie]

In Subject 3, when passing through a pedestrian crossing (zebra crossing) or a bus stop, failing to brake or turn your head will result in an immediate deduction of 100 points, leading to an automatic failure. Familiarization: Before the test, it is essential to familiarize yourself with various deduction rules to avoid point deductions. Practice more: Depending on the vehicle type, the road test content for Subject 3 varies, with nighttime test mileage required to be no less than 5 kilometers. The road test content for Subject 3 generally includes preparation before starting, light simulation, straight-line driving, gear operation, lane changing, etc. During the test, no less than 20% of the candidates will be selected for nighttime testing. Subject 3 is a practical road test, so it is important to practice thoroughly beforehand to ensure passing the test.

During my driving lessons, the instructor repeatedly emphasized that failing to tap the brake when passing a bus stop in Subject 3 would result in an immediate 10-point deduction, which is quite a strict rule. Tapping the brake means gently pressing the brake pedal to slow down, not coming to a sudden stop. It mainly simulates slowing down in real-life situations when encountering crowded bus stops to watch out for pedestrians. The entire Subject 3 test is scored out of 100 points, with a passing mark of 80. Losing 10 points means you must perform almost perfectly in all other sections to pass. I've seen many test-takers fail because they overlooked this point, especially when nervous during the exam. The examiner pays close attention to whether you tap the brake at the designated spot, usually about 20 meters before the bus stop sign. Preparing to tap the brake in advance is the safest and most reliable approach. During regular practice, it's essential to simulate this scenario frequently and develop a habitual braking reflex. Not tapping isn't just about losing points—it reflects a lack of safety awareness.

Practicing for the Subject 3 driving test, braking at bus stops is a key action. Forgetting to brake will deduct 10 points, and this rule is highly standardized. Getting a driver's license is not just a formality, but about cultivating safe habits, such as braking to prevent pedestrians from rushing out from blind spots. In reality, bus stops often have people getting on and off, so it's reasonable for trainees to lose points for not slowing down. I suggest that beginners watch more videos to familiarize themselves with the stopping points before the test and use markers to remind themselves during practice. Each missed brake could lead to failure, and the scoring system is designed to encourage real driving behavior, not to make things difficult.

Passing the subject three test requires attention to details. For example, forgetting to brake at a bus stop will deduct 10 points, and the standard is very clear. Why is this rule set? In actual driving, slowing down can reduce the probability of colliding with pedestrians. During the test, you need to keep an eye on all directions, observe the location of the bus stop sign in advance, and lightly tap the brake to maintain a safe distance. When I practice driving, I often use my phone to record simulated routes and repeatedly reinforce the memory of the braking action. The actual operation is not difficult, the key is to develop a conditioned reflex and not let nervousness lead to omissions. Remember, there are many points that can be deducted, and this mistake may drag down the overall score, so practice and master it early.
