2 Answers
Here is an introduction to the standards for Subject 3: 1. Unstable direction control: Failure to maintain straight-line driving will result in a deduction of 100 points. 2. Failure to take timely deceleration measures when encountering braking by the vehicle ahead: A deduction of 100 points. Below is an introduction to the assessment requirements: 1. During straight-line driving: The candidate must achieve a smooth start and maintain a basically orderly driving operation sequence. 2. Ability to correctly handle the steering wheel: The candidate should be able to use the free play of the steering wheel to correct the driving direction. Additional information: Subject 3 includes the road driving skills test and the safety and civilized driving knowledge test, which are part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. It is the abbreviated name for the road driving skills and safety and civilized driving knowledge test in the motor vehicle driver's examination. The content of the road driving skills test varies for different types of vehicles eligible for driving.
When practicing the straight-line driving section for my driving test, I found the requirements quite clear. The car must maintain a straight line on the straight road without veering left or right. The steering wheel should be held lightly—not too tight or too loose. The speed should steadily stay between 30 to 40 km/h; too fast and the car may drift, too slow and the examiner might urge you to speed up. I remember the examiner said to look far ahead at the end of the road, not down at the hood, or else it's easy to deviate. I once made a mistake: I turned the wheel too much, almost crossing the line, but luckily corrected it in time with small adjustments. During practice, I recommend finding an open road to practice multiple times to develop a sense of direction. Don’t be too nervous—just focus your eyes straight ahead, and you’ll pass. This is a crucial safety foundation; carelessness is not an option. Passing it feels incredibly satisfying.
