Subject 3 test content is as follows: 1. Preparation before starting: Candidates must follow the safety officer's instructions, approach the vehicle, walk around it (from the left front door to the back), and confirm safety before opening the door to get in. After entering, first adjust the seat to a suitable position, adjust the interior and exterior rearview mirrors, and fasten the seat belt. Then perform fingerprint verification; the fingerprint scanner is located below the left air vent on the steering wheel. 2. Starting: Upon hearing the voice prompt "Please start," press the clutch, shift into first gear, turn on the left turn signal (for more than 3 seconds), and observe the left rearview mirror (turning head left) to confirm safety. Then honk, release the parking brake, start smoothly, and turn off the turn signal. 3. Right turn at an intersection: Upon hearing "Right turn ahead," turn on the right turn signal (for more than 3 seconds) and follow the guiding arrow to turn right into the driving lane. 4. U-turn: Upon hearing "U-turn ahead," turn on the left turn signal (for more than 3 seconds), observe the left rear traffic via the (left) rearview mirror, and confirm safety before reducing speed, shifting to a lower gear, and entering the U-turn zone. While entering, observe traffic conditions left and right, confirm safety, enter the new lane, proceed normally, and turn off the left turn signal. 5. Straight through an intersection: Upon hearing "Pass the intersection ahead," slow down (brake), observe road traffic, and proceed according to traffic signals. Speed should be below 30km/h, and stopping within the intersection is prohibited. 6. Left turn at an intersection: Upon hearing "Left turn ahead," turn on the left turn signal (for more than 3 seconds) and follow the guiding arrow to turn left into the driving lane. 7. Passing a bus stop: Upon hearing "Pass the bus stop," slow down (brake) or keep speed below 30km/h before entering the area. Observe left and right (turning head) to yield to buses and pedestrians, and proceed after confirming safety. 8. Gear shifting: Upon hearing "Please perform gear shifting," shift to 2nd gear, then sequentially upshift to 5th gear (exceeding 40km/h in 5th), then downshift back to 2nd. 9. Straight driving: Upon hearing "Maintain straight driving," look ahead, hold the steering wheel with both hands, and keep the vehicle straight. Do not cross lane dividers. 10. Lane change: Upon hearing "Change lanes," turn on the (left) turn signal (for more than 3 seconds), observe rear traffic via the (left) rearview mirror (turning head left), and confirm safety before turning (left) to change lanes. If conditions are not met, slow down and wait. Do not change two lanes consecutively. 11. Passing a crosswalk: Upon hearing "Crosswalk ahead," slow down (brake) or keep speed below 30km/h before entering. If pedestrians are crossing, stop outside the safety line and proceed only after they have crossed. 12. Passing a school zone: Upon hearing "School zone ahead," slow down (brake) or keep speed below 30km/h before entering. Observe left and right (turning head) to yield to students, and proceed after confirming safety. 13. Pulling over: Upon hearing "Please pull over," turn on the right turn signal (for more than 3 seconds), observe right rear traffic via the (right) rearview mirror, and confirm safety before parking parallel to the curb (or road edge solid line) within 30cm without touching it. Stop the vehicle, engage the parking brake, and shift to neutral.
When I took the Driving Test Part 3, it mainly assessed practical road driving skills. Before getting in the car, you had to walk around the vehicle for inspection, then adjust the seat, mirrors, and fasten the seatbelt after entering. Starting the car was particularly crucial—you needed to turn on the left signal, honk the horn, shift into gear, release the handbrake, and then slowly lift the clutch while gently pressing the accelerator. For straight-line driving, you had to steady the steering wheel to keep the car aligned, and gear changes had to match the speed without any jerking. Near schools or intersections, you were required to brake and slow down below 30 km/h while turning your head left and right to observe. When changing lanes or overtaking, remember to signal for at least three seconds and check the rearview mirror. For parallel parking, the wheels had to be within 30 cm of the curb. Finally, there was a simulated lighting test where you operated low beams, high beams, or hazard lights based on voice prompts. There were 16 test items in total, with safety observation actions being the most important.
