There is no time limit for the Subject Three driving test. Here are some key points to note during the Subject Three test: 1. Clutch Usage: Only use the clutch when starting, shifting gears, or stopping. Avoid pressing the clutch during normal driving. When needing to slow down slightly, use the brake only to prevent coasting in neutral. 2. Accelerator Usage: Before the traffic light changes from green to red, it will flash a few times. Depending on your distance from the intersection and your speed, press the accelerator if you are close and your speed hasn’t decreased enough. 3. Parking Straight: Upon hearing the instruction, assess the road conditions. If there are no solid lines or you are too close to the intersection, quickly turn on the right signal, check the rearview mirror, brake to slow down, and merge. Position the car slightly to the right of the road center, turn the steering wheel left, and when the car is about to straighten out by inertia, press the clutch and straighten the wheels to park.

How is the National Day free expressway period calculated?

Expressway toll-free periods are determined by the exit time. During statutory holidays, toll exemptions for passenger vehicles are based on the time of exiting the toll station. If you enter the expressway during a toll period but exit during a toll-free period, no fee will be charged. Conversely, if you enter during a toll-free period but exit during a toll period, the toll will apply. If you cannot exit the expressway by 24:00 on the last day of the toll-free period, you can exit at the nearest toll station just before the toll period begins to avoid charges for the preceding section. Expressways must clearly indicate speed limits for each lane, with maximum speeds not exceeding 120 km/h and minimum speeds not falling below 60 km/h.

What is the process for handling traffic violations by someone other than the vehicle owner?

The process for handling traffic violations by someone other than the vehicle owner is: 1. Prepare materials: If the violation was captured by an electronic eye, only the vehicle license is required; if it's a speeding violation, prepare the vehicle license, driver's license, and a copy of each; if it's a parking ticket, bring the penalty decision notice and the vehicle license. 2. Visit the vehicle management office: After preparing the materials, go to the vehicle management office to verify if the violation is genuine, review the photos, and then fill out a confirmation form. 3. Pay the fine: Take the confirmation form to the bank designated by the vehicle management office to pay the fine. 4. If the violation occurred in another location, it must be handled at the local traffic police station or vehicle management office where the violation took place.

Will stopping in the middle of the road at a red light result in penalty points?

If you stop at the crosswalk without continuing to drive, it is not considered running a red light but rather stopping beyond the line. This is penalized as improper parking or driving, typically resulting in a 3-point deduction. Running a red light is clearly defined in the "Road Traffic Safety Law." Article 26 states that traffic signals consist of red, green, and yellow lights. A red light indicates prohibition of passage, a green light permits passage, and a yellow light serves as a warning. A red light is a traffic signal prohibiting passage, and driving through an intersection during a red light constitutes the traffic violation of running a red light. Running a red light refers to the act where, when the vehicle is within the stop line, the forward direction is already a red light, yet the vehicle continues to move forward until both the front and rear wheels have completely crossed the stop line. This is determined by capturing three photos via electronic cameras: A photo of the vehicle crossing the intersection stop line, including the red light signal and license plate number. A photo of the vehicle completely crossing the stop line, including the red light signal and license plate number. A photo showing the vehicle continuing to move, with a comparison to check for changes in the vehicle's position, including the red light signal and license plate number. Capturing these three photos confirms the act of running a red light. Running a red light is not considered illegal under the following circumstances: Yielding to emergency vehicles: Yielding to ambulances, fire trucks, or other emergency vehicles. If captured by surveillance cameras while yielding, manual review will not record the act as running a red light. Even if recorded, you can apply for reconsideration at the traffic police department. Extreme weather: When visibility is so low that even electronic police cannot clearly see the traffic lights, the photos of the violation may be blurry. In such cases of mistakenly running a red light, the traffic police will not impose penalties. Emergency situations: If a citizen transports a patient with a critical condition, they can present proof from the hospital or the rescued individual to the traffic police for verification. Upon confirmation, the violation record can be expunged. If possible, it is best to call an ambulance to avoid traffic accidents caused by running a red light. Traffic police direction: During peak commuting hours, traffic police may temporarily direct traffic at major intersections. Drivers must follow the gestures of the traffic police.

Which of the three lines should be pressed on the ramp for positioning?

The three lines on the ramp for positioning are solid and dashed lines, with the solid line in the middle. You need to press this solid line. The hill start is one of the items in the driving license subject two test. The hill start project requires starting from the bottom of the slope and then driving to the designated position to stop. According to the relevant regulations of the test, for the positioning stop, the front bumper of the car must be pressed to the designated solid line position. If the front bumper is not pressed to the stop line after the vehicle stops, 10 points will be deducted, but it will not be considered as a failure. There are three lines in the parking area, namely dashed line, solid line, and dashed line, with a 50 cm interval between these three lines. If the vehicle stops exactly on the solid line position, no points will be deducted. If it stops on the dashed line position, 10 points will be deducted. During the test, if you want to press the solid line, a practical method is to observe the car's rearview mirror. The lower edge of the rearview mirror and the middle solid line will be on the same straight line. If you see the lower edge of the rearview mirror aligned with the middle solid line when parking, the front bumper of the car should be located on the middle solid line.

Is Right Turn on Red Considered Running a Red Light?

It depends. Some red lights prohibit right turns, requiring vehicles to stop behind the stop line and wait until right turns are permitted. If there is no prohibition on right turns, vehicles can turn right even when the red light is on, provided they do not interfere with pedestrians or vehicles from other directions. According to the relevant regulations of the "Road Traffic Management Regulations of the People's Republic of China": In the absence of special traffic instructions (such as traffic signs or police instructions), motor vehicles can turn right at a red light without it being considered a violation of running a red light. If there is a traffic sign prohibiting right turns when the red light is on, motor vehicles cannot turn right when encountering a red light. Note: At intersections with signs prohibiting right turns, vehicles must stop when the red light is on. Turning right in such cases is equivalent to running a red light. According to the latest 2013 version of traffic regulations, driving a motor vehicle in violation of traffic signals results in a 6-point penalty. To determine whether a vehicle has run a red light, electronic monitoring needs to capture three photos: the front wheels crossing the stop line, the rear wheels crossing the stop line, and the front wheels crossing the opposite stop line. If the right turn signal is a red arrow, the vehicle should stop behind the stop line and wait for the green light before proceeding. Turning right on a red arrow is considered running a red light. If the right turn signal is not a red arrow, right turns are permitted. Right Turn Precautions: While driving, plan and judge the route: Vehicles intending to turn right at the next intersection should enter the right-turn lane in advance. Generally, the rightmost one or two lanes are designated for right turns, as indicated by signs and road markings. Before entering the right-turn lane, remember to signal and observe the traffic behind. Right-turn lanes generally do not require stopping at red lights, allowing right turns as long as it is safe, except at intersections with specific right-turn signals where drivers must wait for the green light. During the right turn, always follow traffic rules: signal the right turn, slow down, and proceed with caution.
