What are the requirements for overtaking and lane changing in Subject 3?
2 Answers
Overtaking and lane changing in Subject 3 must be completed within 100 meters. There are no specific requirements for vehicle speed and gear, as long as it is faster than the vehicle being overtaken, but attention should be paid to matching the gear with the speed. Additionally, it is important to note the speed limit of the test road to avoid speeding. The following is an introduction to the subjects of the driver's license test: Subject 1: Also known as the theoretical test or driver's theory test, it is part of the assessment for a motor vehicle driver's license. Subject 2: Also known as the small road test, the test items include five examinations: reversing into a parking space, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, right-angle turns, and curve driving.
As someone who has passed the driving test, I think the overtaking and lane-changing requirements in Subject 3 are quite important. Before overtaking, you must turn on the left turn signal for at least three seconds, then check the rearview mirror to confirm the distance of the vehicle behind, glance over your shoulder to check the blind spot, and only accelerate to complete the overtaking when it's safe. After finishing, turn on the right signal to return to the original lane. During the test, the operation must be done smoothly, with the speed controlled within a reasonable range, avoiding crossing the line or dangerous driving. Lane changing is similar—signal for three seconds first, carefully observe the traffic flow on both sides, steer smoothly, avoid sudden movements, and maintain a safe distance of at least one car length. The key is to practice real-world operations repeatedly to develop good habits, otherwise, you might fail the test due to minor mistakes.
