What are some items in the Subject 3 driving test?

[DiBraxton]

Subject 3 test items include preparation for getting on the car, simulated lighting test, starting, driving straight, gear shifting operations, changing lanes, pulling over, going straight through intersections, turning left at intersections, turning right at intersections, passing pedestrian crossings, passing school zones, passing bus stops, meeting oncoming vehicles, overtaking, making U-turns, and nighttime driving. Key challenges in the test: 1. Speed and gear mismatch: Errors related to high gear at low speed or low gear at high speed need attention during the test. Before shifting gears, ensure the speed matches the gear, then switch gears. Glance at the speedometer every eight seconds while driving to prevent such errors. 2. Deviation in straight driving: Many students intentionally slow down due to concerns about not driving straight, which is not advisable. This can increase the likelihood of the vehicle deviating from its path, so maintain a reasonable and steady speed. 3. Incorrect pulling over: The Subject 3 test explicitly requires that the distance from the curb when pulling over should not exceed 30cm. However, this distance is difficult for students to judge, and many end up parking too far from the curb.

I just passed the Subject 3 test not long ago, and there were quite a few items to cover. Before getting in the car, you need to walk around it counterclockwise to check the exterior. Once inside, adjust the seat, fasten the seatbelt, and check the lights. When starting, you must turn on the turn signal, honk the horn, check the mirrors, and drive out smoothly. The straight-line driving part was the hardest—you can only make slight adjustments to the steering wheel and must keep your eyes focused far ahead. During gear shifting, your hands and feet need to coordinate quickly, and you can't look down at the gear stick. For turns, you must slow down early, signal, and watch for non-motorized lanes. When pulling over, you need to find the 30 cm distance, and before getting out, you must turn off the engine and check behind you. There are also sections like crossing pedestrian crossings and school zones where you must brake early to slow down. Don’t forget the simulated nighttime light operations at the end. In total, there were over a dozen items to practice.

Those who have taken the driving test know that the Subject 3 exam is very comprehensive. The preparation before getting in the car requires careful attention—walk around the vehicle and press the buttons. The starting procedure is strict, requiring proper coordination of turn signals, handbrake, and accelerator. The key to the on-road tasks lies in the details: when turning, you must signal and look over your shoulder to check blind spots; maintain a speed of around 35 km/h during straight-line driving; when changing lanes, observe left and right multiple times to confirm safety. When passing through school zones, slow down to under 30 km/h in advance. For roadside parking, first activate the right turn signal, then slowly align the vehicle without crossing the solid line. The night test also includes simulated light operations, requiring memorization of various light combinations. Most importantly, safety awareness is crucial—all tasks must include proper observation movements.

The actual road test for Subject 3 includes light simulation, vehicle starting, gear shifting operations, turning at intersections, straight-line driving, lane changing, passing school zones, crosswalks, and bus stops. Special attention should be paid to lane changing: always check the rearview mirror first, then turn on the signal light, and wait for three seconds before steering. When passing through special areas, slow down in advance and observe both sides, keeping the speed below 30 km/h. Listen carefully to voice instructions throughout the test. When pulling over, slow down in advance and stop within 30 cm of the roadside, then shift to neutral and engage the handbrake. The entire test consists of approximately 15 items, with the most challenging part being maintaining directional stability during straight-line driving.
