What are the 11 items in the Subject 3 simulated lighting test?

[DiBrody]

Driving at night without streetlights or under poor lighting conditions (headlights), meeting non-motor vehicles on narrow roads at night (low beam), following another vehicle closely in the same direction at night (low beam), meeting motor vehicles at night (low beam). Passing over an arch bridge or pedestrian crossing at night (alternating between high and low beams), navigating sharp turns or slopes at night (alternating between high and low beams), passing through intersections without traffic signals at night (alternating between high and low beams), experiencing a vehicle breakdown on the road at night that obstructs traffic and is difficult to move (parking lights and hazard warning lights), driving in foggy conditions (fog lights and hazard warning lights). Here are some key points: For example, use low beam when meeting or following another vehicle; use high beam when there are no lights or poor lighting conditions; alternate between high and low beams when passing through certain areas. Precautions: Before starting the test, always check the lights, as the previous examinee might not have reset them, which could affect your performance during the test; do not answer too quickly, listen carefully to the instructions, and wait until the voice prompt ends before acting, completing the action within 5 seconds; avoid operating too quickly to prevent the system from failing to detect the light switching signal.

I frequently accompany students during their driving practice. The Category 3 simulated lighting test consists of 11 items, all of which I emphasize repeatedly during instruction. These include turning on the low beam headlights, switching to high beam, reverting to low beam, activating the fog lights, turning on the width indicators, engaging the hazard warning lights (double flashing), activating the left turn signal, turning on the right turn signal, checking the brake lights' operation, confirming the reverse lights function properly, and finally resetting all lights to ensure they are turned off. Students often make mistakes by not switching turn signals promptly or failing to reset the lights, leading to test failure. During practice, it's crucial to listen carefully to voice commands and operate quickly, accurately, and steadily. Although lighting issues may seem minor, they are vital for driving safety. Mastering these can make the entire test process smoother and increase the chances of passing.

I recently passed the Subject 3 driving test, which includes an 11-item lighting simulation test. It took me several attempts to master it: first turning on the headlights with low beam, then switching to high beam, back to low beam, followed by turning on the fog lights, parking lights or position lights, hazard warning lights, left turn signal, right turn signal, checking if the brake lights illuminate when braking, verifying the reverse lights engage when backing up, and finally resetting by turning off all lights. During the exam, the system randomly calls out commands, and you must act immediately without hesitation. I often practiced this section with peers at the training ground, with common mistakes including forgetting to reset or not turning off the turn signals promptly. I recommend simulating this part multiple times during preparation to avoid getting stuck here. Once proficient with the lighting operations, other sections of Subject 3 become much easier.

When accompanying my child to practice for Subject 3, I also noticed that the simulated lighting test consists of 11 items. As a parent witnessing it firsthand: the first item is turning on the headlights and adjusting to low beam, the second is switching to high beam, the third is changing back to low beam, the fourth is activating the fog lights, the fifth is turning on the width lights, the sixth is pressing the hazard lights, the seventh is signaling left turn, the eighth is signaling right turn, the ninth is stepping on the brake to check the lights, the tenth is checking the lights while reversing, and the eleventh is turning everything off and resetting. At first, my child was nervous and slow in operations, but later I reminded him to relax and follow the instructions steadily and accurately. Practicing simulated operations on the family car at home is sufficient, with the key being to develop habits. Light management is fundamental to safe driving. Now that he has passed the exam, he often says my advice was useful.
