Should the turn signal be turned off after pulling over in Subject 3? The operation requirements for pulling over are as follows: 1. Observe the right and rear traffic conditions based on the position of the pull-over sign and the speed of the vehicle, turn on the right turn signal in a timely manner, reduce the speed, and make the car slowly move to the right side of the road. 2. Step on the clutch pedal in a timely manner, use the brake pedal appropriately, and park the car smoothly and straightly on the right edge of the road or 30 centimeters away from the edge of the sidewalk. 3. Pull the parking brake lever, shift the gear lever to neutral (shift the gear lever to first gear when on an uphill slope, and shift the gear lever to reverse gear when on a downhill slope), turn off the ignition switch, and release the clutch pedal and brake pedal. 4. Remove the ignition key, get out of the car, and close and lock the door.
I'm a driving instructor teaching students for the License Test Part 3. After pulling over, the turn signal must be turned off. The procedure is: first turn on the right signal and slow down, gradually pull over and stop completely, then pull the handbrake and shift to neutral, finally turn off the turn signal. Many novice students forget this step when nervous during parking, which directly leads to point deduction in the test. If the examiner sees your signal still on, they may think you haven't finished and are still occupying the road. I often remind students to develop the habit of turning off the signal immediately after stopping to avoid misleading drivers behind. Road safety comes first - not turning off the signal may make other vehicles think you're about to start again, potentially causing a rear-end collision. With repeated practice to form muscle memory, it becomes easy.
