Subject 3 examination items are as follows: 1. Vehicle preparation: Verify identity information and exit the vehicle after confirmation by the safety officer. 2. Starting off: Ensure smooth operation without rolling back, jerking, or stalling. 3. Straight-line driving: Focus on distant vision and make minor steering adjustments to maintain a straight path. 4. Gear shifting: Avoid skipping gears during gear changes. 5. Lane changing. 6. Proceeding straight through intersections: Decelerate in advance and shift to lower gears (1-2). 7. Left turn at intersections: Upon hearing "left turn with red light," remember to brake and slow down while shifting to lower gears. Keep in mind to make wide left turns. 8. Right turn at intersections: Activate the right turn signal in advance when hearing "right turn at the upcoming intersection." Observe surrounding traffic conditions and proceed slowly after ensuring safety. 9. Crossing pedestrian crossings: Decelerate when hearing "approaching pedestrian crossing," apply brakes in advance to reduce speed below 30km/h. 10. Passing school zones: Decelerate to below 30km/h in advance and shift to 2nd gear for slow passage. 11. Passing bus stops: Reduce speed to below 30km/h when approaching a bus stop. 12. Meeting vehicles: Yield to other vehicles and maintain safe distance without crossing lines. 13. Overtaking: Overtaking from the right is prohibited. 14. U-turns: Observe traffic conditions on both sides when entering the U-turn zone and turn off the signal after completing the U-turn. 15. Simulated nighttime driving. 16. Pulling over: Park the vehicle steadily, engage the parking brake, and shift to neutral.

The Category 3 driving test indeed consists of 16 core items, all essential skills for road driving. These include the starting procedure—first activate the left turn signal, check the rearview mirror, ensure safety, then release the clutch to start; straight-line driving—maintain speed within the specified range and avoid unnecessary steering wheel movements; gear shifting operations—manual transmission requires smooth upshifting and downshifting without hesitation; lane changing—must signal and check carefully, avoiding abrupt changes; proceeding straight through intersections—slow down and observe traffic signals; left turns at intersections—signal in advance, reduce speed, and yield to straight-moving vehicles and pedestrians; right turns similarly prioritize safety; crossing pedestrian crosswalks—slow down early and always stop for pedestrians; passing school zones—speed limit of 30km/h with no honking; passing bus stops—proceed cautiously to prevent collisions; oncoming vehicle practice—how to pass safely on narrow roads; overtaking maneuvers—correct timing and operation for passing; U-turn exercises—choose wide road sections, signal, and complete safely; nighttime driving simulation—use low beams and other lights appropriately; pulling over—standard parking within 30cm and applying the handbrake; and simulated tunnel passage requiring headlight usage. When teaching students, I emphasize repeated practice of these steps, as negligence in any one could lead to test failure or, worse, real-world accidents—such as starting without signaling risking rear-end collisions, or speeding through school zones endangering children.

How many seconds does the Land Rover Evoque take to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h?

Land Rover Evoque takes 7.6 seconds to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h. The Range Rover Evoque is the most compact SUV model in the Land Rover brand. Introduction to 0-100 km/h acceleration: 0-100 km/h acceleration refers to the time it takes to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h, which is the most intuitive reflection of a car's power. Generally, 1.6L compact cars achieve 0-100 km/h acceleration in 11 to 13 seconds, 2.0T mid-size cars in 7 to 8 seconds, while supercars mostly achieve acceleration times of less than 3.8 seconds. Reasons for slow acceleration: Usually, not pressing the accelerator pedal hard enough but braking too abruptly. It is recommended to wear hard-soled shoes to increase the force on the accelerator pedal, and you will see a reaction in 3 days, with performance restored after a week. Additionally, keeping the throttle at a fixed position while waiting for acceleration can help improve the vehicle's acceleration performance.

Will the front passenger definitely be caught on camera if they forget to fasten the seat belt on the highway?

If the front passenger forgets to fasten the seat belt on the highway, they will definitely be caught on camera. If captured by electronic surveillance, it usually takes two to three days to detect the violation. Penalties for front passenger not wearing a seat belt: If traffic police on-site find the front passenger not wearing a seat belt or if the violation is captured by the electronic monitoring system, a fine will be imposed, along with criticism and a request for rectification. In addition to the front passenger being penalized, other passengers who fail to fasten their seat belts as required will also be fined, but no demerit points will be deducted. Correct seat belt usage guidelines: Regularly check the technical condition of the seat belt, and replace any damaged seat belts promptly. The three-point waist seat belt should be fastened at the hips, not the waist, with the fastening position as low as possible. The seat should not be overly tilted to ensure the seat belt provides effective protection.

How to Remove Odor When the Car Air Conditioner is On?

Methods to remove odor from car air conditioners include: 1. Replace the air filter, which is a crucial component of the air conditioning system as all incoming air passes through it; 2. Replace the air conditioner's evaporator, whose function is to use low-temperature liquid refrigerant that easily evaporates under low pressure, turning into vapor and absorbing heat from the cooled medium to achieve cooling; 3. Place some air fresheners inside the car; 4. Put some disinfecting orange or tangerine peels to help eliminate odors; 5. Frequently open the car windows for ventilation; 6. Check if the air conditioner has any malfunctions, as an air conditioner that cannot properly cool or heat may accumulate impurities and exhaust gases.

What gear should an automatic car use when going downhill?

Automatic cars need to adjust the gear selection based on the steepness of the slope. Use lower gears for steeper slopes and higher gears for gentler slopes. Below are relevant explanations: Methods for controlling speed: For manual transmission cars facing long or steep downhill roads, you can shift into D2 or D3 to control the gear. D2 means the transmission won't shift beyond 2nd gear, while D3 limits it to 3rd gear. This allows full utilization of engine braking to effectively control vehicle speed. Principle of engine braking: Engine braking refers to the drag effect created by the compression resistance, internal friction, and intake/exhaust resistance generated during the engine's compression stroke on the driving wheels (manual transmission cars can be parked on slopes while in gear using this principle).

Which is more difficult, reverse parking or parallel parking?

It varies from person to person. Here are the relevant introductions to reverse parking and parallel parking: Reverse parking: Reverse parking has always been a challenging part of the driving test (Subject 2), but once you master the techniques, it can no longer be called difficult. In fact, reverse parking requires quick eyes and hands. 'Quick eyes' means swiftly identifying the reference points, while 'quick hands' refers to turning the steering wheel promptly. Parallel parking: Some say parallel parking tests your vision and hand coordination. Although this statement is simple, its meaning is very reasonable. Parallel parking demands high-speed steering wheel control, with the key point being to turn the steering wheel one and a half turns to the right when the rear wheel aligns with the front line of the parking space. Then quickly straighten the wheel when the right corner of the parking space appears in the left rearview mirror.

What is the service life of an external tire pressure monitoring system?

The service life of an external tire pressure monitoring system is approximately 2 to 3 years. Below are the benefits of installing a tire pressure monitoring alarm in a vehicle: Preventing accidents: The tire pressure monitoring system is a type of active safety device that can provide timely alerts when there are signs of danger in the tires, reminding the driver to take appropriate measures to avoid serious accidents. Extending tire lifespan: With a tire pressure monitoring system, the tires can always operate within the specified pressure and temperature ranges, thereby reducing tire damage and extending their service life. When the tire pressure drops by 10% below the normal value, the tire lifespan is reduced by 15%.
