What are the items in the Subject 3 road test?

[LaAmir]

Here is a detailed introduction to the 16 items in the Subject 2 road test: 1. Preparation before starting: After hearing the voice prompt "Begin the preparation for starting the vehicle," walk around the vehicle once, then get in and fasten the seatbelt. 2. Night driving: After hearing the voice prompt "Now simulating night driving, approaching an intersection (turn on low beam), entering an unlit road section (turn on high beam), road ahead is well-lit (turn on low beam), approaching an intersection without traffic signals (sound the horn), temporary parking by the roadside (turn on hazard lights)." 3. Starting: After hearing the voice prompt "Begin starting the vehicle (turn on left turn signal for more than 3 seconds, sound the horn, and start)," start the vehicle and drive for 10 meters. 4. Straight-line driving: After hearing the voice prompt "Begin straight-line driving test," adjust the vehicle within the lane without crossing the lane markings, and drive straight for 100 meters. 5. Lane change: After hearing the voice prompt "Begin lane change test," turn on the left turn signal (for more than 3 seconds), change lanes, and drive for 100 meters. 6. Overtaking: After hearing the voice prompt "Begin overtaking test," turn on the left turn signal (for more than 3 seconds), move to the overtaking lane, drive for more than 20 meters, then return to the original lane. The overtaking distance is 200 meters. 7. Meeting oncoming traffic: After hearing the voice prompt "Begin meeting oncoming traffic test," keep the left side of the vehicle more than 30 cm from the double yellow lines, maintain a speed below 30 km/h, and drive for 70 meters. 8. Gear shifting operation: After hearing the voice prompt "Begin gear shifting operation test," shift up from 2nd gear to 4th gear in sequence, then shift down from 4th gear to 2nd gear in sequence. Fully release the clutch after each gear shift and maintain straight-line driving. The speed limits are: 1st gear up to 20 km/h, 2nd gear up to 27 km/h, 3rd gear up to 37 km/h, 4th gear up to 47 km/h, 5th gear minimum 30 km/h. The gear shifting operation distance is 250 meters. 9. Straight through an intersection: After hearing the voice prompt "Begin straight through an intersection test," maintain a speed below 30 km/h, keep the vehicle in a straight-line driving state, and proceed straight through the intersection without crossing the lane markings. 10. Left turn at an intersection: After hearing the voice prompt "Begin left turn at an intersection test," enter the left-turn lane, turn on the left turn signal (for more than 3 seconds), maintain a speed below 30 km/h, and make a left turn through the intersection without crossing the lane markings. 11. Right turn at an intersection: After hearing the voice prompt "Begin right turn at an intersection test," enter the right-turn lane, turn on the right turn signal (for more than 3 seconds), maintain a speed below 30 km/h, and make a right turn through the intersection without crossing the lane markings. 12. Passing a crosswalk: After hearing the voice prompt "Begin passing a crosswalk test," maintain a speed below 30 km/h, keep the vehicle in a straight-line driving state, and proceed straight through without crossing the lane markings. 13. Passing a bus stop: After hearing the voice prompt "Begin passing a bus stop test," maintain a speed below 30 km/h, keep the vehicle in a straight-line driving state, and proceed straight for 50 meters without crossing the lane markings. 14. Passing a school zone: After hearing the voice prompt "Begin passing a school zone test," maintain a speed below 30 km/h, keep the vehicle in a straight-line driving state, and proceed straight for 50 meters without crossing the lane markings. 15. U-turn: After hearing the voice prompt "Begin U-turn test," turn on the left turn signal (for more than 3 seconds) in the overtaking lane, and begin the U-turn. 16. Pulling over: After hearing the voice prompt "Begin pulling over test," turn on the right turn signal (for more than 3 seconds), pull over, and keep the right side of the vehicle within 30 cm of the curb. A distance greater than 30 cm will result in a 10-point deduction. The pulling over distance is 100 meters. Shift to neutral, engage the handbrake, release the foot brake, unfasten the seatbelt, and open and close the door. Driving in 1st gear continuously must not exceed 100 meters, and driving on lane markings must not exceed 60 meters.

I remember when I took the driving test back then, there were quite a few items in the Road Test (Subject 3), mainly testing practical driving skills. These included starting and stopping the car, where you had to operate smoothly without stalling; driving in a straight line required steady steering to maintain speed; lane changes necessitated signaling in advance and checking blind spots; approaching intersections meant slowing down and watching for pedestrians; and there was also the precision distance control test for pulling over. Some places even added a nighttime driving simulation to test light usage, like overtaking and emergency handling. The key was to stay relaxed in front of the examiner and not get so nervous that you forgot to adjust the mirrors or used the wrong signals. Practicing multiple times helped familiarize with the process and avoid common mistakes, such as going too slow during lane changes and getting points deducted.

Those who have just passed the Subject 3 driving test may have a deep impression of the key items: ensuring the seatbelt is fastened and gear shifting is smooth during startup; maintaining a constant speed without deviation in straight-line driving; checking mirrors for safety when changing lanes; slowing down and yielding according to traffic signals at intersections; and parking within 30 cm of the roadside line. The test also includes nighttime items such as correctly using high and low beams, and some venues may test hill starts to prevent rolling back. Practicing simulated test scenarios, such as reacting to traffic lights in urban conditions or avoiding bicycles, can improve the pass rate. Don’t forget that the examiner will check if gear shifts are smooth, so I recommend practicing gear changes to avoid hesitation.

When it comes to Subject Three, the test mainly assesses driving skills. It includes starting and stopping, changing lanes with turn signals and checking mirrors, maintaining direction in straight-line driving. Slow down at intersections, and perform precise roadside parking. Don't forget to use lights at night, such as flashing for overtaking. Practice key points during preparation to avoid mistakes and point deductions.

During the driving test (Subject 3), items like smooth start-stop operations, precision in reverse parking, safe judgment during lane changes, deceleration and observation at crosswalks, and controlled parallel parking are assessed. I've seen some fail due to abrupt starts or not checking blind spots when changing lanes. It's advisable to practice mirror checks and signal usage more during preparation, as examiners strictly score every detail. These skills are highly practical in daily driving—for instance, using turn signals reduces accident risks. Thus, the test isn't just procedural but vital safety training.

The Road Test (Subject 3) covers practical driving scenarios. It includes starting and stopping without stalling, maintaining straight-line driving without deviation, signaling and checking blind spots before changing lanes, slowing down and yielding when passing school zones, and accurately parking by the roadside. Proper use of headlights during night simulation tests is crucial. I often remind my friends to practice these items more, especially in complex environments like multi-lane changes or intersection decision-making where mistakes are common. During the test, stay calm and composed—examiners might randomly check light switching or handbrake usage. Being well-prepared ensures a smooth pass.
