Should the high beam be turned back after using it in the lighting test?

In the lighting test, the high beam should be turned back after use. There are 3 key points in the Subject 3 driving test: 1. Speed and gear mismatch: Regarding the errors of high gear with low speed or low gear with high speed, pay attention during the test drive. Before shifting gears, adjust the speed to match the target gear speed before switching. 2. Deviation in straight-line driving: Some candidates deliberately slow down due to concerns about not driving straight, which actually increases the likelihood of deviation. Maintain a reasonable and steady speed instead. 3. Parking over 30cm from curb: The Subject 3 test requires parking within 30cm of the curb, but many candidates find this distance difficult to control, often stopping too far from the roadside.
As a young beginner driver, I understand that during the lighting test, you must switch back from high beam immediately. This is no joke—the examiner is watching closely during the test. If you don’t quickly return to low beam, you might lose points or fail. The same applies to regular driving: use high beams only at night when there are no oncoming vehicles, otherwise, you’ll dazzle other drivers and risk causing an accident. Developing good habits is crucial—practice a few times, and it’ll become second nature. Don’t cut corners. Always check that the light switch functions properly—what if it gets stuck? During practice, simulate real scenarios and prioritize safety—don’t just focus on passing the test. Simply put, this is a fundamental safety rule.
