Should you open the car door with your left or right hand in Subject Three?
2 Answers
In Subject Three, you should open the car door with your left hand. Here is a detailed introduction to the Subject Three exam: 1. Overview: Subject Three, which includes the road driving skills test and the safe and civilized driving knowledge test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. It is the abbreviation for the road driving skills and safe and civilized driving knowledge test subjects in the motor vehicle driver's exam. The content of the road driving skills test varies depending on the type of vehicle being licensed. 2. Exam Content: The road driving skills test for Subject Three generally includes: preparation before getting in the car, simulated lighting test, starting, driving straight, shifting gears, changing lanes, pulling over, driving straight through intersections, turning left at intersections, turning right at intersections, crossing pedestrian crossings, passing school zones, passing bus stops, meeting other vehicles, etc.
I always emphasize that the correct way to open a car door can save lives. When sitting in the left-side driver's seat, you should use your right hand to open the left door. This allows your body to naturally turn, making it easier to scan the rear view. If you use your left hand to open the door, you might miss the observation angle, and the consequences can be severe. I remember once at an intersection, a neighbor opened the car door without checking, and a cyclist crashed into it—the driver was fully at fault. This is tested in the driving license exam (Subject 3) to instill safety instincts. Before getting in the car, always check your surroundings, use your right hand to pull the door handle for confirmation, and don’t rush or cut corners. This habit significantly reduces accident risks in daily driving.
