Driving at 25 km/h during the straight-line driving test in Subject 3 is not acceptable. Here are the relevant details: 1. Speed requirement: The vehicle speed must reach 40 km/h during the straight-line driving test in Subject 3, and it needs to maintain at 50 km/h for a few seconds to avoid point deduction. If the vehicle speed does not reach 50 km/h, 10 points will be deducted. During straight-line driving, keep your gaze far ahead and use a fixed object in the middle of the road as a reference point, which makes it easier to keep the vehicle straight. 2. Driving tips for Subject 3: When entering the straight-line driving section, focus your gaze far ahead to maintain a straight path. Additionally, finding a suitable reference object during straight-line driving helps. When the vehicle deviates from the reference object, you can promptly adjust the steering.

I'm a driving instructor with ten years of experience teaching students for Subject 3 (road test). The straight-line driving test item requires maintaining a stable speed and driving straight, but the exact standards vary by region. Among the students I've taught, some test centers specify a speed range between 20 to 30 km/h, where 25 km/h is perfectly acceptable—just make sure not to drop below 20 km/h. Other locations may require speeds above 30 km/h, so it's best to ask your instructor about the specific rules at your test site beforehand. When practicing this item, remember not to grip the steering wheel too tightly; make slight adjustments as needed and focus your gaze far ahead, about 100 meters in front. Also, maintain a steady speed—avoid sudden acceleration or deceleration, as this can easily lead to failure. Keep throttle control smooth, and note that exam vehicles may have different throttle sensitivity compared to our training cars, so be sure to adapt in advance.

Last month, I just passed the third driving test. During the straight-line driving section, maintaining 25 km/h was acceptable. Our test center requires a minimum speed of 20 km/h but not exceeding 40 km/h, as the safety officer had mentioned beforehand. I recommend practicing a few laps at the actual test site before the exam to get a feel for the speed. I was so nervous that my palms were sweating, but later I realized that keeping my gaze further ahead and holding the steering wheel lightly made maintaining 25 km/h more stable. Going too slow will result in a system failure, while exceeding 40 km/h might make it hard to control. Also, a reminder: don’t fixate on the dashboard during the test—just glance at it briefly with your peripheral vision, or you might drift off course. The straight-line driving distance is about 100 meters, so just maintain a steady speed for around five seconds.

What to Do When a Car Rolls Over?

Solutions for when a car rolls over: 1. Stay calm and avoid making fatal mistakes due to excessive panic; 2. Immediately turn off the engine to prevent hazards such as fire or explosion; 3. Adjust your position, unbuckle the seatbelt, and lower your body. If you cannot open the door, you can choose to break the side window to escape. When striking the side window, aim for the edges of the glass rather than the center; 4. After escaping, do not rush out of the car recklessly. First, observe the surroundings and ensure it is safe before exiting, especially on highways. Make sure to move outside the guardrail and stay as far away from the accident scene as possible to ensure your safety and avoid secondary accidents.

How to Use the Manual Mode in a Tiptronic Transmission?

The method of using the manual mode in a tiptronic transmission is: To switch to manual mode, simply shift the gear lever to the M position. In manual mode, you can shift gears up or down by moving the shift lever accordingly, and the gear changes can be performed while the vehicle is in motion without the need to depress the clutch or brake. A tiptronic transmission combines the manual and automatic shifting modes of a car. The manual mode allows drivers to freely adjust gears and engine speed, providing a thrilling driving experience with a strong sense of sportiness and driving pleasure. Essentially, a tiptronic transmission is still a type of automatic transmission that simulates the operation of a manual transmission through an electronic control system. Its introduction offers drivers greater operational freedom, allowing them to choose the most suitable gear and shifting timing as they see fit.

Can You Shift from D to S Gear While Driving an Automatic Car?

Automatic cars can shift from D to S gear while driving without the need to press the brake or come to a stop. The D gear is the drive gear, where the vehicle prioritizes comfort and fuel efficiency. The S gear is the sport mode, which focuses on high performance. When shifted into S gear, the transmission delays upshifting to allow the engine to deliver greater power. Situations where S gear is not suitable include: 1. High-speed driving is not ideal for S gear, as it is designed to downshift for acceleration, leading to mismatched speed and RPM, increased noise, and higher fuel consumption; 2. Coasting is not recommended in S gear, as it can cause significant wear and tear on the transmission in a short period.
