I just passed the Subject 3 test and have strong feelings about the lighting operation part. The high-low beam alternation usually requires two quick switches. For example, when you hear voice prompts like 'oncoming vehicle' or 'overtaking,' you need to quickly pull the control lever twice to simulate the action of alerting other vehicles in real situations. During my practice, I often made mistakes due to nervousness—either switching too fast for the examiner to recognize or forgetting the second switch, which resulted in a retake. The lighting test is a mandatory item in the exam with many points to lose, so I recommend practicing more on the simulator at the driving school to get familiar with the rhythm. Besides alternation, the lighting section also includes fog lights and hazard lights operation. Mastering all of them can improve your pass rate. In actual driving, correct lighting operation can prevent nighttime accidents, and forming this habit is crucial. Now, I always remember this standard action during night drives, making it much safer. In short, remembering the two quick switches is key—stay calm during the exam and follow the instructions.

Will I Be Caught on Camera If I Make a Right Turn from a Straight-Only Lane?

If you make a right turn from a straight-only lane, you will be caught on camera, which may result in a fine and penalty points. Therefore, it's crucial to pay attention while driving. If you accidentally enter the wrong lane, follow the lane's designated direction and make a U-turn at the next intersection. Additional details are as follows: 1. Lanes: Generally, the rightmost lane is for right turns, the leftmost lane is for left turns, and the middle lanes are for straight-through traffic. Different lanes are designated to maintain traffic order. Driving randomly without adhering to lane markings can easily lead to accidents and traffic congestion. Always drive in the correct lane. 2. Strictly follow traffic rules on the road: Following traffic rules is not just about avoiding fines and penalty points, but also about ensuring your safety and the safety of others, as well as maintaining good traffic order. When driving on the road, never exceed the speed limit or drive under the influence of alcohol. Always obey traffic signals while driving.

Which Gear Should Generally Be Used While Driving?

Generally, it is set to 4th gear, but the actual gear should be shifted based on the vehicle speed. The driver can save fuel by selecting the appropriate gear. The method of using gears and the benefits of selecting gears reasonably are as follows: Method of using gears: Start with 1st gear, then switch to 2nd gear after moving. Shift to 3rd gear when the speed is between 20 and 25, shift to 4th gear when driving at around 35 to 40, and shift to 5th gear when the speed reaches about 60. Generally, when you hear the sound change while driving, it's time to shift gears. Benefits of selecting gears reasonably: The driver can save fuel by selecting the appropriate gear. The so-called fuel efficiency of cars with mechanical transmissions is because mechanical transmissions have higher transmission efficiency, which can reduce transmission losses. Driving a manual transmission car requires a higher level of driving skill, and selecting gears reasonably and timely can truly save fuel.

What is a Dust Filter?

Dust filter is a device that works in conjunction with the charcoal canister, installed at the end of the pipe leading from the charcoal canister to the atmosphere. Below is relevant information about dust filters: Functions of a dust filter: Maintains air pressure balance and absorbs fuel vapor. The engine's fuel supply relies on the fuel pump drawing gasoline from the fuel tank. Without an external air passage, the fuel tank would remain in a negative pressure state, which would progressively increase, causing the tank to collapse and deform. Simultaneously, the working resistance and load on the fuel pump would continuously rise, potentially leading to severe cases where the fuel pump could burn out, and the sliding rod of the fuel level sensor could be crushed and deformed. Methods to extend the service life of a dust filter: Generally, the service life of an activated charcoal canister is quite long, and manufacturers typically do not recommend regular replacement of the charcoal canister. However, due to environmental factors, the ventilation pipe is prone to clogging from dust and debris. Therefore, installing a dust filter on the ventilation pipe can help prolong the effectiveness and service life of the charcoal canister.
