Is Light Braking Required in School Zones for Subject Three?
1 Answers
Light braking is required in school zones for Subject Three. Similar to bus stops, the vehicle speed must be below 30 km/h when passing through, and light braking should be applied to slow down. If encountering situations like students crossing the road after school, the vehicle must stop and wait. Key locations requiring light braking in Subject Three: 1. Straight through intersections: Due to complex conditions at intersections, there may be vehicles or pedestrians passing. Learners should apply light braking in advance to reduce speed, keeping it below 30 km/h. Even if the light is green with no obstacles or pedestrians, light braking is mandatory. Failure to do so will result in immediate disqualification. 2. Left or right turns: Regardless of the direction, turn signals must be activated in advance, followed by deceleration (some learners may already be driving slowly but should still apply light braking before turning). 3. Bus stops: Passing bus stops usually comes with voice prompts. If not, pay attention to roadside signs and apply light braking to pass slowly. 4. Pedestrian crossings: Learners must apply light braking to slow down when passing pedestrian crossings. If pedestrians are crossing, the vehicle must stop and wait, ensuring it does not stop on the crossing. Avoid rushing or honking, as such behavior will lead to disqualification. 5. School zones: Similar to bus stops, the speed must be below 30 km/h, and light braking is required to slow down. If students are crossing, stop and wait. 6. U-turns: Deceleration is mandatory during U-turns, shifting to lower gears (1st or 2nd) if necessary. Failing to slow down will result in poor vehicle stability. 7. Oncoming vehicles: Learners must decelerate when encountering oncoming vehicles. The system usually provides instructions; even if no vehicle is present, follow the procedure and decelerate upon hearing the instruction.
