Before getting in the car, you need to walk around the vehicle to check for any issues, and also inspect the starting environment of the vehicle. Adjust the vehicle's rearview mirrors and seat angle to ensure comfortable operation of the clutch pedal, and fasten the seat belt.
The pre-driving steps in Subject 3 are truly crucial, and I'll share from a safety perspective. I remember when taking the driving test, I always walked around the car first to carefully check if the tires were deflated or damaged, and ensured there were no stones or other obstacles around the vehicle. Then, I crouched down to inspect underneath the car, confirming there were no small animals or debris stuck. Before opening the door, I always looked back to both sides to make sure there were no cars or pedestrians nearby before pulling the door handle. Once inside, I immediately adjusted the seat position and height to ensure comfortable access to the clutch or accelerator—not too far or too close. Next, I adjusted the mirrors, both inside and outside, for clear visibility of the rear and sides. The seatbelt must be fastened tightly—it can save lives in an accident. Finally, I checked the dashboard to confirm normal fuel levels and light indicators. Making these steps a habit not only helps pass the test but also reduces accident risks in daily driving, as many collisions occur due to neglecting these basic checks.
