The five steps after pulling over in Subject Three are as follows: Step 1: Upon hearing the voice prompt or the examiner's instruction to "pull over," immediately downshift and reduce speed, observe the road conditions through the interior and exterior rearview mirrors to ensure a safe pull-over. Step 2: Turn on the turn signal. If a lane change is required, change lanes one by one. The driving distance during the parking process should not be too long. If the turn signal turns off midway, it must be turned on immediately. Step 3: Find the 30 cm position. When one-third of the right front of the car aligns with the sideline, the right wheel is exactly 30 cm away from the sideline. Step 4: Observe the vehicle and adjust the body. When the distance between the body and the sideline is less than 30 cm, stop the car, shift to neutral, and pull the handbrake. Step 5: After hearing the voice prompt "test passed," check for oncoming traffic from the left rearview mirror. Confirm it is safe, then unfasten the seatbelt and exit the vehicle.
Having been a driving instructor for over a decade, I know full well how crucial those five steps after pulling over in the driving test (Subject 3) are. First, turn off the engine immediately after stopping the car to prevent unnecessary fuel consumption or potential hazards. Next, shift to neutral or P gear, depending on whether it's a manual or automatic transmission, to avoid rolling. Third, firmly engage the handbrake to secure the vehicle's position. Then, unfasten the seatbelt so you're not strapped in and hindering subsequent actions. Finally, check the mirrors and blind spots, opening the door slightly to confirm safety before exiting. Each step is interconnected and indispensable during the test, and making it a habit can significantly reduce accident risks in daily driving. Never skip any step out of laziness—safety comes first!
