2 Answers
Subject 3 straight-line driving test requirements: 1. Test purpose: To assess the driver's ability to correctly operate steering wheel components and maintain normal constant-speed vehicle movement. 2. Operation requirements: During straight-line driving, the driver should hold the steering wheel properly to maintain straight movement. 3. Evaluation criteria: Unstable steering control failing to maintain straight movement - fail; Not implementing deceleration measures when encountering braking vehicles ahead - fail; Failing to observe rear traffic via mirrors for over 20 seconds - deduct 10 points; Unaware of vehicle speed - deduct 10 points; Not promptly detecting road obstacles or taking deceleration measures - deduct 10 points.
When I was taking the third driving test, I gained a lot of experience with straight-line driving. The key is to keep the car centered in the lane without touching the roadside or dividing lines. Maintain a steady speed between 30 to 40 km/h—too fast and the car drifts, too slow and it's hard to control. Focus your gaze 200-300 meters ahead instead of staring at the hood to maintain direction. Only make slight steering adjustments, no more than 5 degrees, as even small movements can overcorrect. Keep your hands relaxed on the wheel without gripping too tightly. Lastly, always check mirrors in advance, especially before and after overtaking. My instructor used to scold me for oversteering until I learned to glance at lane markers from the corner of my eye.
