After stalling in Subject 3, first shift back to neutral, then ignite the engine, and proceed to start normally. If the engine stalls once due to improper operation in Subject 3, 10 points will be deducted, meaning no mistakes can be made in the following procedures, otherwise a retest will be required.

After years of driving, it's important to stay calm when restarting after a stall. Keeping your foot firmly on the brake to prevent the car from rolling is crucial. For manual transmission vehicles, remember to shift to neutral first, then press the clutch before turning the key to start the engine. Once the car is running, ensure everything is normal, then shift back into gear and slowly release the clutch to move off. Stalling during the driving test (Subject 3) may deduct some points, but as long as your actions are standard, the examiner won't fail you. During regular practice, pay attention to the coordination between the accelerator and clutch, and release the clutch slowly when starting to reduce stalling. Make it a habit to check the dashboard and vehicle status—safety comes first. Don't be afraid of making mistakes; stalling is a normal part of learning to drive, and keeping a steady mindset is most important.

I just passed my driving test, and stalling during Subject 3 was nerve-wracking. After stalling, immediately press the clutch with your left foot and keep the brake pedal firmly pressed with your right foot. Then shift to neutral, start the car, and after the engine recovers, shift to first gear, slowly release the clutch, and accelerate to start moving. During the test, the examiner cares about whether your actions are standard, so don’t panic or act hastily. Practicing starts more often is key to reducing stalls—keep the clutch steady and don’t release it too quickly. For safety, remember to ensure the car is fully stopped after stalling, check all around for any vehicles, and prevent dangers. The test rules allow for minimal points deducted if you restart quickly and correctly, so stay confident and everything will go smoothly.

When I was a driving instructor, I noticed that the common issue with students stalling the car lies in clutch control. Restarting is simple: press the brake, shift to neutral, start the engine, and begin again. The key is to keep the car completely stationary to prevent accidents. During practice, focus on slowly releasing the clutch while applying a bit of throttle when starting—don’t rush to accelerate to avoid mishaps. For safety, always check your surroundings after stalling before proceeding. Proper restarting ensures smooth continuation during the driving test (Subject 3), so remember to keep the actions fluid to minimize point deductions. With more practice, mastering the balance between clutch and throttle will reduce stalling.
