What are the contents of the Subject 3 simulated lighting test?

Subject 3 begins with the lighting test, which mainly covers the use of lights for overtaking, foggy weather, meeting vehicles, and passing through intersections. The mnemonic for the Subject 3 lighting test is: 1. Basic lighting: Use high beams when driving at night without streetlights or under poor lighting conditions, use low beams when meeting non-motor vehicles on narrow roads at night, use low beams when following a vehicle closely in the same direction at night, and use low beams when meeting motor vehicles at night. 2. Alternating lights: Use alternating high and low beams when passing over bridges or pedestrian crossings at night, when navigating sharp turns or slopes at night, when passing through intersections without traffic signals at night, and when the vehicle breaks down on the road at night, obstructing traffic and being difficult to move (use parking lights and hazard warning lights).
As someone who has passed the third driving test, I remember the simulated lighting test mainly includes several parts. Turn on the low beam for normal nighttime driving; switch to the high beam for roads with insufficient lighting; activate the left or right turn signal to simulate turning actions; and also turn on the hazard warning lights for emergency stops. During the test, the examiner may ask you to operate these lights in different scenarios, such as turning on the fog lights to simulate rainy or foggy weather. When preparing, I spent time practicing the positions of the buttons in the car because making mistakes in the sequence or being slow in operation would result in point deductions. Lighting safety is fundamental; getting it wrong can easily lead to accidents on the road, so it's essential to practice several times to ensure proficiency before taking the test.
