Should the high beam be reset after use in the Stage 3 lighting test?

In the Stage 3 lighting test, the high beam should be reset after use. Otherwise, it may affect the next student's operation. Here are some precautions for the Stage 3 lighting test: 1. Follow the instructions: Do not complete the vehicle lighting operation steps in advance. The operation must be completed within 5 seconds after the voice broadcast ends. Performing the operation before the voice broadcast is finished will result in a failed test. 2. Adjust your mindset: Before the Stage 3 lighting simulation test, adjust your mindset, stay calm, and avoid consuming stimulating foods. Keep a clear mind during the test and listen carefully to the instructions without panicking. 3. Check the lights before the Stage 3 test officially begins: After walking around the vehicle, adjusting the seat and rearview mirror, and fastening the seat belt, you should check whether the lights are reset.
As a newly licensed driver, let me share my experience on this topic. During the Category 3 lighting test, after completing the high beam operation, you must immediately reset it; otherwise, you'll lose points or even fail. Resetting means returning the light switch to its original position, such as the low beam mode or off state, to avoid affecting other vehicles during the test simulation. When I took the test, my instructor repeatedly emphasized this: first listen to the instruction to turn on the high beam, demonstrate it, and then immediately switch back to the original state. The test environment is very tense, and if you forget to reset, the computer system will detect that the lights are still on and directly record an error. So once you develop the habit, the light operation becomes like a reflex. I recommend practicing the simulation test several times to familiarize yourself with the actual feeling of the reset action. Remember, this isn't just for the test; in real driving, failing to reset the high beam can dazzle others and cause accidents.
