How Many Training Hours Are Required for Driving License Subject 3?

[DiAlexandra]

Driving License Subject 3 requires 24 training hours. Each training hour is defined as 1 hour, with instructional time not less than 45 minutes. Subject 3 alone requires 24 hours, while the total for Subjects 1 to 3 is 62 hours. Students must complete the required hours to be eligible to register for the corresponding subject exams. Failure to meet the hour requirement will prevent exam scheduling. The training hours for each subject from 1 to 4 are as follows: 1. Subject 1: 12 hours; 2. Subject 2: 16 hours; 3. Subject 3: 24 hours; 4. Subject 4: 10 hours. Key points for Subject 3 exam: 1. Prolonged parking route: Park decisively. Upon hearing the instruction and assessing the road condition, if there are no solid lines or if too close to an intersection, quickly turn on the right signal, check the rearview mirror, brake, slow down, and merge. 2. Right foot placement: When not accelerating, always keep your foot on the brake. 3. Driving too far to the right: If the car is noticeably right-biased, completing tasks like the bumpy road test and 100-meter gear shift may not be problematic, but maintaining a steady position is crucial during the exam. 4. Looking down at gears: Avoid this, especially when starting. Always look forward while driving—this is a fundamental habit. When slightly right-biased, turn the wheel left (more than usual), and press the clutch when the car straightens by inertia. Then, straighten the wheel to the right and park. 5. Hesitation at traffic lights: Before a green light turns red, it flashes a few times. Based on distance to the intersection and speed, either accelerate if close and maintaining speed, or brake decisively to stop. Hesitation may cause crossing the stop line.

In the driver's license test, Subject 3 typically requires around 24 instructional hours, which refers to the practical road driving portion. From my years of teaching experience, the number of hours is just a basic requirement—the key is to thoroughly practice fundamental operations in each session, such as starting, lane changing, and parallel parking. Many students rush to complete the hours quickly, only to panic during the actual test. No matter how many hours you log, it's crucial to gain experience in real road conditions, like driving on busy streets during rush hour or in rainy weather, to develop adaptability. Safe driving isn't something you can master overnight; you need to get used to handling unexpected situations, such as pedestrians crossing suddenly or vehicles cutting in. Only then do the instructional hours truly serve their purpose, helping you pass the test with ease.

Having just passed the third driving test, I obtained my license after 24 training hours. The coach's arrangement was systematic: the first few sessions focused on getting a feel for the car, turning, and pulling over, the middle sessions practiced complex scenarios like changing lanes at intersections, and the final sessions simulated the entire test. Although the training hours were fixed, I rented a car for extra practice four or five times, especially for challenging parts like starting on a slope. Remember, don't rely solely on the coach's time; take the initiative to drive more, observe road signs, and practice braking timing. Family practice outside of training hours is also very helpful, with parents guiding from the passenger seat to reinforce memory of road rules. This way, you make the most of your training hours and won't feel nervous during the test.

The training hours requirement for Subject 3 is now about 24, much stricter than before. When I learned to drive in my youth, it wasn't this detailed, but the benefit was developing solid skills. No matter how many training hours you have, nothing beats actual road experience: for example, driving one hour in rain or snow is more valuable than three lessons in clear weather. The key is learning to anticipate dangers, like not cutting lanes when turning and being mindful of blind spots. Training hours are just the starting point; subsequent experience is what makes a good driver. Driving isn't something you master overnight.
