The techniques for changing lanes in Subject Three are: 1. Upon hearing the voice prompt from the onboard system instructing a lane change, immediately turn on the left turn signal, check the rearview mirror (focusing on the left one), and wait for three seconds to confirm safety before turning the steering wheel to change lanes; 2. Do not cross solid lines or pedestrian crossings during the lane change, and the entire process must be completed within 100 meters and no longer than 1 minute; 3. If there is a vehicle ahead in the target lane, slow down and shift to a lower gear. If there is a vehicle behind in the target lane at a considerable distance, accelerate and shift to a higher gear—do not hesitate and wait until the vehicle is too close before accelerating. If the vehicle behind is too close, slow down and shift to a lower gear, waiting for it to pass before changing lanes; 4. Regardless of the situation, immediately activate the turn signal upon hearing the instruction. The turn signal must remain on for at least 3 seconds and must not obstruct the normal movement of other vehicles. After entering the target lane, turn off the turn signal. Signal in the direction you intend to change lanes, gently steer into the target lane, and avoid abrupt steering; 5. Observe road traffic signs and markings in advance, and perform the lane change appropriately early, ideally within a distance of 50 to 60 meters.
I remember when I was first learning Subject 3, the most frustrating part about changing lanes was how easily nervousness made me forget the steps. During my first test, I turned without signaling and got points deducted. Later, my instructor taught me the trick: first check the rearview mirror to confirm no vehicles are behind, then activate the left or right turn signal for at least three seconds to communicate your intention to other drivers. Quickly glance over your shoulder to check the blind spot for hidden vehicles like motorcycles. When steering, make smooth and gentle movements to avoid abrupt turns that could compromise safety. Finally, turn off the signal. With enough practice, I realized the key is developing the habit—anticipating your route and preparing dozens of meters in advance, so you won’t panic during the test. In real driving, this small technique has prevented countless accidents. Always prioritize safety first.
