Is Traffic Duty Required for Subject 3?
2 Answers
Subject 3 requires traffic duty. Below are the specific details regarding precautions for traffic duty during the driving test: Traffic Duty Requirements: Before taking the driver's test, candidates must participate in at least 2 hours of traffic violation counseling, with a total duty duration of 4 hours required to schedule the test. During duty, candidates should correct and stop traffic violations by pedestrians and non-motorized vehicles, guiding the public to comply with traffic regulations and develop safe and civilized traffic habits. Duty Regulations: Candidates can independently choose the duty location and time, and must arrive on time with a valid ID. Upon arrival, they should actively show the successful reservation QR code to the officer to check in and receive duty equipment. At the end of the duty, they must request to check out and return the equipment. Late arrivals will be considered absent, and candidates will need to reschedule.
I've been driving for fifteen years and have worked as a driving instructor for many years. The third subject is the road test section, which absolutely doesn't require standing guard. The examinee operates entirely inside the car, such as properly engaging the clutch and throttle for a smooth start. The test includes changing lanes, slowing down and observing at intersections, pulling over to park, and other tasks, with the examiner sitting in the passenger seat to score. I remember the hardest part was the light operation simulating night driving, where you had to quickly switch between high and low beams to show responsiveness, but this was also done just on the control lever. Standing guard might be part of other traffic education activities, but the third subject purely tests driving skills and doesn't involve external duties. For beginners preparing, I recommend practicing more on actual roads to master speed control and blind spot checks to pass the test. Whenever I see examinees nervous, I remind them to relax—the key to the third subject lies in driving confidence and rule compliance.
