Should the last high beam in Subject 3 lighting test be turned off?
2 Answers
After completing the Subject 3 simulated lighting test, there's no need to switch from high beam to low beam before turning off the lights - you can directly turn off the lighting system. Additional notes regarding high beam reset to low beam in Subject 3: 1. Before the official test begins, if you notice the high beam is on, reset it to low beam. 2. If the previous lighting command was high beam and the next requires high-low beam switching, you must first reset to low beam before performing the switching operation, ensuring it ends on low beam. 3. When the final lighting command is high beam and the system prompts "Turn off lights" upon test completion, simply turn off the lights directly without resetting to low beam.
I was deeply impressed by the light test during my driving license test (Subject 3). The last light was the high beam, which had to be turned off. The examiner kept emphasizing switching back to low beam or turning it off completely. Driving with high beams in the city can dazzle other drivers, and the test simulates safe nighttime driving—forgetting to turn it off would directly result in point deductions! I remember during practice, the instructor made us repeatedly operate the light combinations, and we had to restore the initial settings at the end. High beams are only used on open suburban roads, while low beams are used in daily driving to avoid accidents. Once you develop this habit, driving becomes smoother. Before the light test ends, check the lights—don’t be lazy. Passing the test relies on attention to detail. After my test, I helped friends practice, and everyone shared that this point is the easiest to overlook but also the most important. In short, safety comes first—don’t underestimate this step during the test.
