What are the requirements for the Subject 3 driving test?

[Sandy]

Subject 3 test requirements are as follows: 1. Observe the surrounding road conditions: Before starting, the candidate needs to observe the surrounding road conditions to determine if it is suitable to start. If the candidate starts without observing, the safety officer may suspend the test on the grounds of "dangerous driving." Road conditions should also be observed at intersections and other locations to avoid hazards. 2. Remember to fasten the seat belt: After adjusting the seat and mirrors, the candidate should immediately fasten the seat belt. Many people might forget due to nervousness and proceed directly to the starting operation, but the test could end before the starting action is completed. 3. Match gear speed appropriately: When passing crosswalks, school zones, bus stops, and other locations, it is necessary to slow down and shift to a lower gear in advance. During the test, candidates might be too nervous and only remember to shift down but forget to slow down, resulting in a mismatch between gear and speed, causing the car to shake continuously and leading to a failed test.

Just accompanied my cousin to finish the third driving test, and I remember the whole process very clearly. First, walk around the car to check the tires and doors, then adjust the seat, rearview mirrors, and fasten the seatbelt after getting in. Be proficient in light operations, don’t panic when hearing the voice prompts, especially react quickly during simulated night driving. On the road, remember every key point: signal and check mirrors when starting, always turn your head to observe at intersections, never move the steering wheel during straight-line driving, and be decisive when overtaking or changing lanes. Finally, control the 30 cm distance precisely when parking, and don’t forget to pull the handbrake and shift to neutral. There are many detailed points where you can lose marks—my cousin failed directly because he didn’t check the right rearview mirror.

The three most crucial points for the actual driving test (Subject 3) are: safety awareness, attention to details, and maintaining a calm mindset. Before starting, remember to walk counterclockwise around the vehicle to press the sensor button, and don't rush to verify your fingerprint after getting in. Memorize the starting sequence: '1. depress clutch, 2. engage gear, 3. turn on signal, 4. honk, 5. check mirrors'—forgetting to signal will result in an immediate 100-point deduction. When approaching intersections, not only slow down but also make obvious head movements to check both sides. Although there are no voice prompts for bus stops and school zones, you must brake upon seeing the signs. It's recommended to practice the test route multiple times before the exam to familiarize yourself with hidden test points along each section.

As someone who had to retake the driving test twice, here are some hard-earned lessons. Don't skip steps during the pre-drive check: first verify the lights are reset, shift to neutral, engage the handbrake, then start the engine. Common mistakes in the simulated lighting test: use high beams for poor nighttime illumination, and alternate between high and low beams when navigating sharp curves. When actually driving, ensure the gear matches the speed, and shift to 2nd gear before turning. Remember three situations where you must not steer: during straight-line driving, while overtaking, and before stopping on a solid line. In school zones with a 30 km/h speed limit, actually slow down - exceeding the displayed speed means instant failure. Don't aim for perfection when pulling over; crossing the line is more dangerous than being slightly too far away.

The third road test examiner prioritizes safety habits. After signaling, you must check the rearview mirror, turning your head left and right like a drumstick. At pedestrian crossings, regardless of whether there are people, you must brake before the vehicle reaches the sign. The overtaking segment is the easiest to forget: first signal left to enter the fast lane, drive straight, then signal right and observe before safely returning to the original lane. Novices are advised to engrave 'brake first' into their DNA: if there's a situation within 5 meters ahead, brake first before considering maneuvers. Don't rely solely on throttle control; it's recommended to use gears 1-2 throughout the test—slower speeds allow for better adjustments.

After teaching at a driving school for ten years, I've found that students often overlook four deadly mistakes: first, not turning off the turn signal when parking by the roadside; second, overcorrecting the steering during straight-line driving; third, following too closely at intersections and stalling due to the car in front; fourth, changing lanes without checking blind spots. Key techniques: when starting, first lift the clutch to the semi-engaged point before releasing the brake, and when stopping, press both the clutch and brake to the floor simultaneously. For night tests: use high beams when passing through poorly lit sections, and switch back to low beams when meeting another vehicle. Final advice: situations where the safety officer steps on the brake are all dangerous maneuvers—treat the safety officer as a 'human radar' during the test.
