What are the points deducted in Subject 3?
2 Answers
In the Subject 3 driving test, there are three deduction standards: 5 points, 10 points, and 100 points. Different deduction standards have different detailed rules, which need to be carefully read and familiarized. The following is a detailed introduction: 1. Deduction of 100 points: Before parking, observe the rear and right traffic conditions through the internal and external rearview mirrors; after the examiner issues the command to park by the side, failing to stop within the specified distance; after parking, the vehicle body exceeds the right edge of the road or the sidewalk edge; after parking, not turning the head to observe the side rear and left traffic conditions before opening the door inside the car; opening the car door. 2. Deduction of 10 points: After parking, the distance between the vehicle body and the right edge of the road or the sidewalk edge is more than 30cm; after parking, not tightening the parking brake; tightening the parking brake and releasing the foot brake pedal. 3. Deduction of 5 points: Not turning off the engine before getting out of the car.
I just passed the Subject 3 driving test recently, and I have deep feelings about it! The main points for deduction were not using the turn signal or being unsteady when starting, which the examiner would immediately deduct points for. Forgetting to signal or not turning your head to check the rearview mirror when changing lanes could cost you more than 10 points in a minute. Parking too far from the curb (over 30 cm) or forgetting to put the car in neutral and pull the handbrake were also major pitfalls. Failing to slow down at intersections or not stopping to look left and right would definitely lose you points. During practice, I often made these mistakes, so I recommend taking more rides to familiarize yourself with the route and standard operations. Paying attention to these small details can greatly improve your pass rate and make daily driving safer and more reassuring, avoiding accidents. Remember, the examiner values safety awareness and standardized actions the most. Don't be nervous, take your time, and communicate with your coach for a few more simulation runs—then you'll be fine.
