How to Pass the School Zone in Subject 3 of the Driving Test?
1 Answers
In the school zone section of Subject 3, you need to apply the tap-braking technique. Similar to bus stops, your speed should be below 30 km/h when passing through. You must tap the brake to slow down, and if you encounter students crossing the road after school, you should stop and wait. Here are the key points requiring tap-braking in Subject 3: 1. Straight through intersections: Due to complex traffic conditions with potential vehicles or pedestrians, you must tap the brake in advance to reduce speed below 30 km/h, even when the light is green with no obstacles. Failure to do so will result in immediate failure. 2. Left/right turns: Always signal first, then decelerate (even if moving slowly, tap the brake before turning). 3. Bus stops: Normally announced by voice prompt; if not, watch for roadside signs. Tap brake and pass slowly. 4. Pedestrian crossings: Mandatory brake tap. Stop completely if pedestrians are crossing (never stop ON the crosswalk). Avoid honking or rushing - such behavior means instant failure. 5. School zones: Same as bus stops - below 30 km/h with brake taps. Stop for crossing students. 6. U-turns: Always decelerate, potentially shifting to 1st/2nd gear. High-speed turns compromise vehicle stability. 7. Oncoming traffic: Slow down when meeting vehicles. Follow system instructions - even without actual vehicles, execute the slowdown procedure when prompted.
