Is the line crossing in Subject 3 judged by the computer or the examiner?

Subject 3 straight-line driving is judged by the computer. The content of the Subject 3 test is as follows: Road driving skill test content: preparation before getting on the car, light simulation test, starting, straight-line driving, gear shifting operation, lane changing, parking on the side, passing through intersections straight, turning left at intersections, turning right at intersections, passing through pedestrian crossings, passing through school areas, passing through bus stops, meeting cars, overtaking, turning around, and driving at night. Safety and civilized driving common sense test content: safety and civilized driving operation requirements, safe driving knowledge under bad weather and complex road conditions, emergency handling methods in case of tire blowouts and other emergencies, and post-accident handling knowledge, etc.
I just took the Category 3 driving test last week, and that time I crossed the line left a deep impression. During the test, the car had GPS positioning and sensors. If you crossed a solid line, the system would beep immediately to alert, and the examiner would check the screen to confirm. The examiner said the computer monitors route deviations in real-time, including crossing dashed and solid lines, while the human examiner mainly ensures safety and overall scoring. When I was practicing, my instructor reminded me to always signal early and check the mirrors when turning, as most line-crossing violations are detected by the computer. Because the system is highly sensitive, it’s easy to trigger alerts at intersections or when changing lanes. The examiner doesn’t watch every move closely but focuses more on safe driving. I think the test system is quite fair, but you still need to practice more to avoid silly mistakes affecting your pass rate.
