When encountering oncoming traffic, following a vehicle, or driving straight, remember to turn on the low beams; for new turning scenarios, turning on the low beams is sufficient; upon hearing 'pass' or 'overtake', alternate between high and low beams; high beams are only used when illumination is poor; in case of vehicle malfunction or temporary parking, turn on the width and warning lights; if the lighting conditions are the same, stop the operation and listen to the voice prompt; when the test ends with a voice prompt, turn off all lights. Below is an introduction to Subject 3: 1. Introduction: Subject 3 is part of the motor vehicle driver's license , referred to as the road driving skills and safe civilized driving knowledge test. 2. Content: The road driving skills test generally includes: preparation before driving, simulated lighting test, starting, driving straight, gear shifting operations, changing lanes, pulling over, driving straight through intersections, turning at intersections, encountering oncoming traffic, overtaking, making U-turns, and nighttime driving. 3. Assistance: Students can use the mock test software on the Driving Test Guide mobile app or computer to study traffic regulations.

When I was practicing for Subject 3, I specifically summarized the rules for nighttime lighting. It can actually be divided into three categories: use low beams for daily driving, such as meeting or following other vehicles; use high beams and hazard lights to alert others in situations like overtaking or passing through intersections; special cases should be memorized separately, such as turning on fog lights plus hazard lights in foggy weather, or directly turning on warning lights for breakdown stops. I reviewed these in my mind three times every night before bed and even recorded myself on my to listen back. I found that the most common mistake was forgetting to flash lights alternately when passing through crosswalks, so that needed extra practice. After sticking to this routine for a week, it became muscle memory, and during the test, my fingers moved automatically.

Can't remember light operations? Don't just memorize rhymes! When teaching apprentices, I always have them practice with real scenarios: when meeting oncoming traffic at night, naturally switch to low beams to avoid glare; when needing to overtake, flash high beams to alert the car ahead; if a pedestrian suddenly appears roadside, switching between high and low beams is like waving to signal. Observe experienced drivers' operations while riding, and practice finger movements at red lights. The key is to familiarize yourself with button locations—the knob on top of the left control stick manages headlight switches, pulling it toward you flashes high beams. Associating these scenarios with actions makes memorization three times faster than rote learning.

Memorizing rhymes is the easiest way! I made up this one: 'Low beams steady when meeting at night, high beams flash bold when passing right, fog lights plus hazards in foggy sight, warning lights when stalled in plight, alternating flash on slopes in sight, high beams when lighting's not bright.' I recite it twice while brushing my teeth daily, paired with the light simulation on the driving test app, even practicing with chopsticks as gear sticks during meals. Key points: always start with low beams when turning on headlights, don't alter lights when following or meeting cars. Focus on confusing scenarios during practice, like alternating flashes for bridges and crosswalks, but more flashes for crosswalks.

Remembering through physical principles makes it stick better: low beams illuminate within 30 meters to prevent glare, so they're used for oncoming traffic and following cars; high beams reach over 100 meters, suitable for poorly lit sections; hazard lights are the highest warning level, mandatory for breakdowns and stops; fog lights have strong penetration, paired with hazards for low visibility. The control stalk logic is simple too—middle position turns lights off, one turn activates parking lights, two turns switch to low beams; push forward for high beams, pull toward you for a flash to signal. Master this framework, and you can deduce any command. I drew a mind map of light trigger conditions and stuck it by my bed—three nights and it was etched in my brain.

Before the exam, I practiced the light simulation for 20 minutes every day and summarized three golden rules: First, the button positions must be mastered blindly—practice the switching actions repeatedly with the engine off. Second, focus on the key differences—for example, 'passing' requires alternating flashes on slopes but not on sharp bends. Third, keep an error log to note confusing items after each practice, like how I often mixed up 'poor lighting' and 'unlit road sections.' Prioritize the four high-frequency commands: turning on headlights, overtaking, stopping due to faults, and passing intersections, which make up 70% of the test. In the last three days, have family members quiz you randomly to sharpen reaction speed.
