Is the C2 Subject 3 Driving Test Difficult?

[OMartin]

C2 Subject 3 is relatively easy to pass with regular practice and mock tests. Below is relevant information: Preparation before starting: Candidates must follow the safety officer's instructions, approach the vehicle, walk around it (from the left front door to the rear), and confirm safety before opening the door to enter. After entering, upon hearing the voice prompt "Please prepare for the exam and perform fingerprint verification," first adjust the seat to a comfortable position, adjust the interior and exterior rearview mirrors, and fasten the seatbelt. Then proceed with fingerprint verification. The fingerprint scanner is located below the left air vent on the steering wheel. Night driving: After successful fingerprint verification, daytime test candidates will hear the voice prompt "Now begin simulating nighttime light usage, please follow the voice prompts to operate" before starting. Candidates should then begin the light operation. After completing the light simulation, candidates must turn off the lights before proceeding to the next test item. Candidates assigned to the nighttime test should drive according to the actual road conditions for nighttime exams.

I just got my C2 driver's license last month, and it took me two attempts to pass the third road test. The first time I failed because I couldn't keep the steering wheel steady during the straight-line driving section, causing the car to veer off the line. The second time, I was super nervous and almost forgot to turn on the indicator when pulling over. Honestly, automatic transmission is indeed easier than manual—at least you don't have to worry about clutch control. But just remember these key points: always walk around the car and press the buttons before starting, adjust the steering slightly (not drastically) in advance for straight-line driving, make exaggerated head turns when changing lanes so the examiner can see, and signal before slowing down for the roadside stop, aligning with the wiper's raised point. Practicing ten times in the training area is not as effective as one simulation on the actual test route. If the examiner coughs, it might be a hint that you made a mistake.

An instructor who has taught automatic transmission for eight years shares some insights. The biggest advantage of the C2 License Subject 3 test is not having to control the clutch, eliminating the major failure point of stalling on hill starts. Focus on five key items: don't rush the simulated lighting commands, follow the correct sequence for starting (handbrake - turn signal - honk - check mirrors), for straight-line driving it's recommended to use second gear and not go too fast, remember to check the rearview mirror three times when changing lanes (check mirror - signal - check again - shoulder check), and when pulling over, use the wiper as a guide for alignment without aiming for a perfect score. The real challenge lies in the details—things like not fully inserting the seatbelt buckle are the most frustrating. It's recommended to wear flat shoes to get a better feel for the pedals.

A 35-year-old woman who just passed her driving test (Subject 3) last Wednesday shares that the biggest challenge in automatic transmission Subject 3 is poor psychological resilience. During mock tests, she aced all lighting operations, but in the actual exam, her hands trembled and she pressed wrong on the first instruction. Later, she realized the onboard system isn't that sensitive—there's a 3-second window after the voice command to operate. For straight-line driving, grip both sides of the steering wheel at fixed angles. After lane changes, manually turn off the indicator instead of waiting for system prompts. Even losing 10 points on roadside parking is enough to pass, as long as tires don't cross the line. Chewing gum before the test genuinely helps ease nerves, but avoid overeating to prevent drowsiness.
