How to Take the Driving Test (Subject 3) in a Different Location?

To take the Subject 3 driving test in a different location, the student only needs to bring their ID card and photos to the local vehicle management office in the city where they registered for the test to fill out the required forms. There may be an additional fee for taking the test in a different location, but this should be confirmed with the local vehicle management office. Below are some additional tips for the Subject 3 test: 1. Light Simulation: During the light operation, the student should hold the steering wheel at the 3 and 9 o'clock positions with both hands and use other fingers to switch between high and low beams. If one hand needs to leave the wheel to operate the lights, the other hand must still hold the steering wheel. If both hands leave the wheel, even briefly, the test will result in an immediate failure. 2. Lane Change: When changing lanes, turn on the turn signal and wait for 3 seconds before turning the steering wheel. If the driver is on a single-lane road, lane changes are not permitted. 3. Straight-Line Driving: To drive straight, keep your vision focused far ahead. Once straight-line driving begins, avoid turning the steering wheel randomly and do not cross the solid lane lines. Due to the high usage rate of training vehicles, they tend to drift during straight-line driving. Therefore, keep your vision far ahead and make slight adjustments to the steering wheel if you feel the car drifting.

I just handled the matter of taking the Subject 3 driving test in a different location, and the process was quite convenient. Just download the Traffic Management 12123 APP on your phone, log in to your account, enter the appointment interface, select Subject 3, and you can choose test centers in different cities. I picked one nearby and scheduled a time. Make sure to confirm your registration information is consistent to avoid errors, and after paying the fee, remember the date so you don’t arrive late. On the exam day, bring your ID card to check in on-site—the examiner won’t give you a hard time. Taking the test in another location saves you from traveling back and forth, but it’s best to check the test center route in advance and scout the location. Once, my friend wasn’t prepared and got lost, which affected their performance. The overall cost is about the same as taking it locally, and if you follow the rules, everything goes smoothly. Remember, your test results will automatically sync to the APP, and you can proceed directly to Subject 4 afterward.

I took the driving test (Subject 3) in another city while working away from home and would like to share my experience. Originally registered in my hometown, I later moved to a new city and used the traffic management app to schedule the exam, selecting the Subject 3 option. The process was straightforward—the interface displayed a list of locations, and I simply picked my preferred one and submitted. However, I recommend avoiding peak times like weekends when slots fill up quickly. Before the test, I took time off to rent a practice car and drove several rounds to familiarize myself with the road conditions—a small expense but well worth it. On the exam day, I arrived on time with all my documents ready, and the examiner followed the standard procedure without any issues. The fees were mostly the same, but I had to cover my own transportation costs, so it’s wise to calculate expenses in advance. Right after the test, the app showed I passed—super convenient! Taking the test in another city turned out to be much easier than expected.
