Starting with the entry actions: Before getting into the car, you must walk around the vehicle to check the tires and surrounding conditions: start from the left rear wheel → check for obstacles at the rear of the car → right rear wheel → right front wheel → check for obstacles at the front of the car → left front wheel. Observe the rear situation before opening the car door. When starting the test, report, stand 35 cm away from the door, open the door with your left hand, for large trucks, step in with the left foot first, for small cars, step in with the right foot first. Precautions for the C1 Subject 3 test are as follows: Pre-test preparation: Walk around the car before getting in, pause near the monitoring area; Light simulation: Check if the light switch is reset before starting the simulation test; Starting off: Always observe the surrounding traffic environment before starting; While driving: Keep your eyes on the road ahead and avoid following too closely. During the actual road driving test, correctly identify traffic signs, markings, comply with traffic signal regulations, and adhere to intersection driving rules (go straight at crossroads without instructions, turn right at T-junctions without instructions). Avoid pressing the center solid line unless under special circumstances. If you make a mistake during the road test, stay calm, don't dwell on the previous mistake, focus on performing the subsequent actions well, and you can still pass the test. Listen carefully to the officer's driving instructions and repeat them. After the test, complete the necessary actions and turn off the engine. Regardless of passing or failing, thank politely, close the door gently after getting out, and never slam or leave the door open. Details on the penalty points for the C1 license Subject 3 test are as follows: Failing to observe the rear and right traffic conditions through the interior and exterior rearview mirrors before parking results in failure; Failing to park within the specified distance after the examiner's instruction to pull over results in failure; Parking with the vehicle body exceeding the right edge of the road or the sidewalk edge results in failure; Failing to turn your head to observe the side and rear traffic conditions before opening the door after parking results in failure; Not using or incorrectly using the turn signal before parking deducts 10 points; Turning the steering wheel less than 3 seconds after activating the turn signal before parking deducts 10 points; Parking with the vehicle body more than 30 cm away from the right edge of the road or the sidewalk edge deducts 10 points; Failing to fully engage the parking brake lever before releasing the foot brake deducts 10 points; Releasing the foot brake before fully engaging the parking brake lever deducts 10 points; Failing to turn off the engine before getting out deducts 5 points.
I think the Subject 3 exam requires thorough preparation from the start. During the light simulation test, it's crucial to listen carefully to the instructions and stay calm. For example, actions like turning on the left turn signal when starting, using left/right signals when changing lanes or overtaking, and switching to low beams during nighttime meetings must be performed accurately—otherwise, points will be deducted directly. For the road section: before starting, adjust the seat and mirrors, and fasten the seatbelt quickly without wasting time; after starting, maintain straight-line driving by controlling the throttle and steadying the steering wheel without speeding; when changing lanes, signal for at least 3 seconds, check blind spots by turning your head, and confirm safety before moving; at intersections, slow down and observe left and right regardless of traffic signals, yielding to pedestrians and vehicles with priority; for roadside parking, align the wiper reference point with the curb to stay within 30 cm without crossing the line. Stay relaxed—take a few deep breaths. The examiner actually wants you to pass, so don’t stress over minor mistakes that can be corrected. During practice, simulate nighttime driving frequently to familiarize yourself with various scenarios for a smoother test experience. Also, get to know the test route in advance to avoid confusion later.
