Should the right turn signal be turned off after parking in Subject 3?
2 Answers
In the Subject 3 driving test, it is necessary to turn off the right turn signal after pulling over to park. The key points for pulling over include carefully observing the situation in the left and right rearview mirrors before turning, paying attention to oncoming traffic from behind, turning on the right turn signal for three seconds before moving to the right, controlling the brakes to stop the vehicle within 30mm of the right edge or the edge of the sidewalk, shifting to neutral, engaging the handbrake, and resetting the turn signal. Below is relevant information: Introduction: Subject 3, which includes the road driving skills test and the safety and civilized driving knowledge test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. It is the abbreviated name for the road driving skills and safety and civilized driving knowledge test in the motor vehicle driver's examination. The content of the road driving skills test varies depending on the type of vehicle being licensed. Test content: The road driving skills test for Subject 3 generally includes: preparation before starting, simulated lighting test, starting, driving straight, shifting gears, changing lanes, pulling over to park, driving straight through intersections, turning left at intersections, turning right at intersections, crossing pedestrian crosswalks, passing school zones, passing bus stops, meeting oncoming vehicles, overtaking, making U-turns, and driving at night. The safety and civilized driving knowledge test generally includes: requirements for safe and civilized driving operations, knowledge of safe driving under adverse weather and complex road conditions, emergency handling methods for situations such as tire blowouts, and knowledge of what to do after a traffic accident occurs.
I remember feeling quite nervous when I first started learning to drive. One thing that really bothered me during the Category 3 test was whether to turn off the right turn signal after pulling over. My instructor repeatedly reminded me that I must turn off the signal immediately after stopping, otherwise I would lose points or even fail. The reason is that leaving the signal on might make the examiner or vehicles behind think you're about to start moving again, which could cause misunderstandings or even minor accidents, especially on the street. During practice, I made this mistake several times. Once, I forgot to turn off the signal after stopping, and the mock examiner said it counted as an incomplete operation and deducted points immediately. I corrected it right away. Since then, I've developed a habit: stop firmly, pull the handbrake, and turn off the signal in one smooth motion. Small details can lead to big hazards. More practice can help beginners avoid test anxiety and boost confidence. Remembering this step ensures both safety and compliance.
