Use one foot for control. Manual transmission vehicles have three control pedals, while automatic transmission vehicles have two control pedals. In both cases, the brake pedal and accelerator pedal are placed on the same side and are controlled by the right foot. Automatic transmission vehicles: The leftmost pedal is the brake, and the rightmost is the accelerator. Automatic transmission vehicles do not require manual gear shifting as the car shifts gears automatically, so there is no clutch pedal, only the accelerator and brake, both adjusted by the right foot. During driving, the left foot should not be placed on the brake pedal. Manual transmission vehicles: The middle pedal is the brake, and the rightmost is the accelerator. Manual transmission vehicles have three pedals, arranged from left to right as follows: clutch pedal, brake pedal, and accelerator pedal. For manual transmission vehicles, the left foot is only used to press the clutch pedal when shifting gears; during normal driving, the left foot should not be placed on any pedal. Both the brake and accelerator are controlled by the right foot.

How long can you drive on the dashed line in the Subject 3 test?

In the Subject 3 test, you cannot drive on the dashed line for more than five seconds. During the test, you must not drive on any solid lines; only dashed lines are allowed, but there is a time limit, and it should not be too long. The Subject 3 test consists of two parts: road driving skills and safety and civilized driving knowledge. Subject 3 Road Driving Skills Test Content: 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 oncoming vehicles, overtaking, making U-turns, and nighttime driving. Subject 3 Safety and Civilized Driving Knowledge Test Content: Requirements for safe and civilized driving operations, safe driving knowledge under adverse weather and complex road conditions, emergency handling methods for situations like tire blowouts, and post-accident handling knowledge. Road Driving Skills Test Notes: During the test, follow the voice prompts for operations. Note that when driving in a straight line, the speed is relatively fast, and the direction can easily deviate, so you should learn to look far ahead and avoid gripping the steering wheel too tightly. Areas where you should brake in advance include straight intersections, bus stops, pedestrian crossings, school zones, left and right turns, U-turns, and meeting oncoming vehicles. After the test, remember to turn off all lights.

Will the money be refunded if the subject three test appointment is canceled?

Subject three test appointment cancellation will result in a refund, which is generally credited to the account balance and can be used for the next exam registration. However, the cancellation request must be submitted at least one day before the exam date. Cancellations on the exam day or no-shows will be treated as a failure, and the exam fee will not be refunded. Methods to cancel the subject three test appointment: To cancel the subject three test appointment, you must do so at least one day in advance. If you are unable to attend the exam on the scheduled day, you cannot cancel the appointment. If the exam has not been successfully scheduled and is still in the pending status, you can cancel it online by logging into the 12123 APP and following the instructions. If you have already received a successful appointment confirmation message, you will need to prepare your original ID card and a written application for cancellation. Visit the vehicle management office's service window to submit the cancellation request for the subject three test and hand over the materials to the staff for review. Consequences of canceling the subject three test appointment: Canceling a successfully scheduled subject three test appointment will affect your ranking for the next appointment, delaying the time of your next successful appointment. The subject three test appointments are prioritized based on rankings, with higher-priority users ranked higher and thus given earlier exam slots. If the appointment is not successfully scheduled, canceling it will not affect your ranking. Typically, students whose 3-year validity period is about to expire have the highest priority and are entitled to one priority scheduling right for each subject.

Do I need to slow down and shift to second gear when going straight at an intersection in Subject 3?

You need to slow down when going straight at an intersection in Subject 3, but whether to shift to second gear depends on the vehicle speed, as there is no mandatory requirement. The principle for passing through an intersection is: first slow down, second look around, and third proceed, as long as the actions are properly executed. Correct operation method for going straight at an intersection in Subject 3: Approximately 120 meters before reaching the intersection, the voice prompt will automatically indicate the direction of travel. After hearing the prompt "Go straight at the intersection ahead," first slow down, observe the traffic conditions in all directions, and pay attention to yielding to pedestrians and vehicles with the right of way. When you hear the prompt "Pedestrians crossing," you must brake and stop to wait. Do not slow down or keep honking, otherwise you will lose 100 points. The examinee should choose the appropriate lane according to the lane guidance arrow and proceed as directed by the traffic signal. Before passing the stop line at the intersection, there should be a deceleration action or the speed should be controlled below 35 km/h. When going straight through the intersection, observe the traffic conditions on the left and right. Do not stop the vehicle inside the intersection. Gear and speed matching requirements for Subject 3: 1st gear is used for normal starting, with a speed generally around 10 km/h. 2nd gear is a transitional gear for acceleration after starting or for low-speed driving, with a speed generally around 20 km/h. 3rd gear is used for speeds between 20-40 km/h, commonly used for urban driving. 4th gear can be used for speeds between 40-60 km/h. 5th gear is used for speeds above 60 km/h.

What are the main topics covered in Subject 1 of the driving test?

The questions for Subject 1 of the motor vehicle driver's license test are divided into single-choice and true/false questions, totaling 100 questions. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," each question is worth 1 point, with a total score of 100 points. If a candidate answers 11 questions incorrectly during the test, the system will automatically submit the test and end the exam. Subject 1, also known as the theoretical driving test or driver theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. The test content includes driving theory basics, road safety laws and regulations, local regulations, and related knowledge. The test is conducted on a computer, with a time limit of 45 minutes. The content of Subject 1 includes: driver's license and motor vehicle management regulations; road traffic conditions and regulations; road traffic safety violations and penalties; road traffic accident handling regulations; basic knowledge of motor vehicles; local regulations; knowledge of braking systems and safety devices for large and medium-sized passenger and freight vehicles; specialized knowledge for wheeled self-propelled machinery, trams, and trolleybuses. Notes for Subject 1 exam: Candidates should pay attention to their attire—no slippers are allowed, and electronic devices and bags are prohibited in the exam room. Bring your ID card and queue to enter the waiting hall. Observe the instructions and procedures on the large screen, and store personal belongings in a locker before entering the exam room. Upon entering, you will be assigned a seat at the identity verification area. Once seated, begin the test, ensuring the camera is aligned with you and adhering to exam discipline. If you fail the first attempt, a retake is available on the same day. If you fail again, you will need to pay and reschedule. After the test, queue to collect your score report and sign it—failure to sign renders the result invalid. There is no limit to the number of times you can schedule Subject 1. Each subject can be taken once, with one retake allowed if you fail. If you do not take the retake or fail it, the exam ends, and you must reschedule. For Subject 2 and Subject 3, there are only five attempts allowed. Subject 2 and Subject 3 exams must be scheduled at least ten days apart. If you fail the Subject 3 safe and civilized driving knowledge test, your previously passed road driving skills test results remain valid. There are three subjects in the driving test: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3. Subject 1 refers to the road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge test; Subject 2 refers to the field driving skills test; Subject 3 is divided into two parts: road driving skills and safe and civilized driving knowledge tests. The safe and civilized driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject 3, so it is commonly referred to as Subject 4. However, in official terms (i.e., the Ministry of Public Security's Order No. 123), there is no such thing as Subject 4.
