Should You Tap the Brake When Making a Left Turn in Driving Test Part 3?
2 Answers
It is essential to lightly tap the brake when making a turn in Driving Test Part 3. Below is relevant information about Driving Test Part 3: 1. Concept: Driving Test Part 3, 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. 2. Content: It includes: vehicle preparation, light simulation test, starting, driving in a straight line, gear shifting operations, changing lanes, pulling over, going straight through intersections, turning left at intersections, turning right at intersections, crossing pedestrian crossings, passing school zones, passing bus stops, meeting vehicles, overtaking, making U-turns, and nighttime driving.
During my driving test for Subject 3, the instructor repeatedly emphasized checking speed and road conditions when braking. For left turns, if the speed exceeds 30 km/h, you must tap the brake to slow down, otherwise you'll fail immediately. But if the speed is already slow, such as just starting after waiting at a red light, you can turn with the clutch in semi-engagement as long as you don’t cross the line. The most important thing is to observe the crosswalk in advance before turning—if there are pedestrians, you must stop and yield. I remember almost failing during the mock test because I was too focused on checking the rearview mirror while turning at a green light, and the examiner said my car was nearly scraping an electric bike. The core of turning is control and anticipation—don’t rigidly follow the steps.
