According to Article 34 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," the road test items for B2 Subject 3 include: vehicle preparation, starting, driving straight, gear shifting, changing lanes, pulling over, passing through intersections straight, turning left at intersections, turning right at intersections, crossing pedestrian crossings, passing through school zones, passing bus stops, meeting oncoming traffic, overtaking, making U-turns, and nighttime driving. The details are as follows: Vehicle Preparation: Walk around the vehicle to inspect its exterior and surroundings, ensuring safety. Check traffic behind before opening the door. Starting: Before starting, ensure doors are fully closed, adjust seats and mirrors, fasten the seatbelt, check the parking brake and gear, and start the engine. Check the dashboard, observe interior and exterior mirrors, look back to check traffic, turn on the signal light, engage the gear, release the parking brake, and start smoothly without jerking, rolling back, or stalling. Driving Straight: Control speed appropriately based on road conditions, use gears correctly, maintain straight driving, keep a safe following distance, and check mirrors periodically without looking away from the road for more than 2 seconds. Gear Shifting: Shift gears timely and smoothly based on road conditions and speed. Changing Lanes: Signal appropriately, check traffic via mirrors, confirm safety before changing lanes, and turn off the signal afterward. Maintain a safe distance and speed without hindering other vehicles. Pulling Over: Signal right, check traffic behind and to the right, slow down, steer right, and park smoothly. Engage the parking brake and turn off the signal. The vehicle should be within 30 cm of the road edge or sidewalk. Passing Through Intersections (Straight/Left/Right Turns): Observe traffic, slow down or stop, choose the correct lane, signal appropriately, and pass safely. Crossing Pedestrian Crossings: Slow down, observe traffic, yield to pedestrians, and pass safely. Passing School Zones: Slow down below 30 km/h, yield to students crossing, and ensure safety. Passing Bus Stops: Slow down, observe bus movements and passengers, and watch for pedestrians. Meeting Oncoming Traffic: Judge meeting points, adjust speed or location if unsafe, and maintain a safe distance. Overtaking: Keep a safe distance, check left traffic, signal left, honk or flash lights, overtake from the left, monitor the overtaken vehicle, and return safely. Making U-Turns: Slow down, choose a safe spot and time, signal, and turn without obstructing others. Nighttime Driving: Use headlights when starting. Use high beams on unlit roads and low beams in well-lit areas, during meetings, turns, or close following. Flash lights when overtaking or passing specific areas. According to the appendix of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," a B2 license allows driving heavy and medium trucks and specialized vehicles. It also permits driving C1, C2, C3, C4, and M vehicle types. B2 Subject 3 Notes: Starting: Close doors, fasten seatbelt, signal left, engage 2nd gear, honk three times, check left mirror, release clutch slowly while accelerating, and avoid rolling back. Intersection (Straight): Speed between 20-30 km/h, no crossing yellow lines. Bus Stop: Speed between 20-30 km/h, no crossing yellow lines. Intersection (Right Turn): Signal left 3 seconds early, speed between 20-30 km/h, no crossing lines. Changing Lanes: Signal left 3 seconds early, speed between 20-30 km/h, no crossing edge lines. Overtaking: Signal left 3 seconds early, speed between 20-30 km/h, no crossing edge lines. Intersection (Left Turn): Signal left 3 seconds early, speed between 20-30 km/h, no crossing lines. School Zone: Speed between 20-30 km/h, no crossing lines or honking. Driving Straight: Shift to 5th gear above 40 km/h, no crossing lines. Accelerating: Shift to 5th gear above 40 km/h, no crossing lines. U-Turn: Choose a safe spot, signal right to pull over, signal left, shift to 2nd gear, and turn without rolling back. Pulling Over: Signal right for 3 seconds, park within 30 cm of the edge, engage parking brake, and shift to neutral. B2 Subject 3 Deduction Criteria: Immediate failure for: Not using seatbelt; Blocking or turning off in-car monitoring; Ignoring examiner instructions; Rolling back over 30 cm when starting; Mismatched gears and speed causing engine issues; Failing to shift gears twice in a row; Coasting in neutral; Ignoring traffic signals, signs, or markings; Speeding; Crossing solid center or edge lines; Straddling lane dividers for over 15 seconds; Changing two or more lanes at once; Parking in no-parking zones; Missing the test appointment. 10-point deduction for: Rolling back under 30 cm when starting; Wrong gear when starting or driving; Not signaling or signaling incorrectly before maneuvers; Signaling for less than 3 seconds before maneuvers; Stalling once due to improper operation. Vehicle Preparation: Failure to inspect the vehicle counterclockwise results in disqualification.

I recently passed the B2 Category 3 driving test, and now I'd like to share the test items. Category 3 is the actual road test segment, which evaluates the skills for driving large trucks. Before getting in the vehicle, you must walk around it to inspect its condition. After entering, adjust the seat and mirrors, fasten the seatbelt, and then start the engine. When starting, signal left, honk to alert others, and check the mirrors for safety. During the straight-line driving section, keep the steering wheel steady to maintain a stable speed without wobbling. Gear shifting should be smooth and match the speed to avoid stalling or jerking. When changing lanes, signal for at least 2-3 seconds before moving, and carefully check mirrors and blind spots. For roadside parking, slow down and stop accurately without crossing the curb line. At intersections, reduce speed and observe traffic lights and pedestrians, signaling and slowing down early for left or right turns. Near crosswalks, school zones, and bus stops, significantly slow down and yield. During oncoming traffic, keep right to yield; for overtaking, ensure a safe distance before accelerating past. For U-turns, choose an open area, signal, and turn slowly without obstructing traffic. Finally, the lighting test evaluates nighttime driving skills, such as switching between high and low beams. The entire process requires focus and attention—repeated practice is key to memorizing the rules, and staying calm during the test is crucial.

As someone who has taught large vehicle driving, I've seen many B2 Subject 3 test items. It's mainly divided into: Preparation before driving - check tires and chassis before getting in, adjust mirrors and seat after entering, fasten seatbelt. Starting requires turning on lights, honking, and smoothly lifting the clutch for a stable start. Straight-line driving requires maintaining a straight line within 50 meters without deviation. Gear shifting needs smooth transitions matching vehicle speed to avoid gear disengagement. Lane changing involves using turn signals, checking mirrors, and changing lanes safely. Pulling over requires precise positioning within 30cm from the curb. At intersections, both left and right turns require signaling, slowing down, and observing traffic signals. Special zones like crosswalks, school areas, and bus stops require slow speeds and yielding. Meeting oncoming vehicles requires keeping right, slowing down, and yielding. Overtaking requires judging safe timing, signaling, accelerating, and completing the maneuver safely. U-turns require selecting a safe location, signaling, and turning slowly. Lighting operation tests nighttime light switching skills. Each item assesses safety awareness and actual vehicle control ability. Simulating various road conditions during practice effectively avoids common mistakes like forgetting to signal or unstable starts.

The B2 Category Three driving test consists of numerous items, primarily assessing truck driving skills. Key steps include: Pre-drive checks—inspect the vehicle condition, fasten the seatbelt upon entering. Start smoothly with proper signal usage and observation. Maintain straight-line driving without erratic steering. Coordinate speed and gear shifts during acceleration/deceleration. Signal, check mirrors, and change lanes safely. Park accurately alongside the curb. Intersection maneuvers cover proceeding straight, turning left/right with speed control. Slow down at designated zones like crosswalks and bus stops. Yield by keeping right during oncoming traffic. Overtake only when safe, using signals and accelerating appropriately. Execute U-turns at secure locations. Lastly, adhere to standardized light usage. The essence lies in frequent practice and composed mindset—these simulate real-road scenarios where safety is paramount; passing requires demonstrated ability to handle unexpected situations.

Pre-driving preparation requires a comprehensive inspection to ensure the vehicle is in normal condition. The starting test evaluates smooth acceleration and observation skills. Straight-line driving checks directional control stability. Gear shifting operations verify proper gear transitions. Lane changes test safety judgment and turn signal habits. Pulling over emphasizes precise parking positioning. Left turns, right turns, and proceeding straight at intersections require slowing down and observing signals and pedestrians. Passing crosswalks, school zones, and bus stops necessitates deceleration and yielding to prevent accidents. During oncoming traffic encounters, keep right and yield to avoid collisions. Overtaking requires careful selection of safe gaps. U-turns must ensure environmental safety and proper signaling. Light usage simulates nighttime driving norms. These test items are designed to cultivate safety awareness and prevent accidents on the road. Practicing key points such as early signaling and slow operations can improve the pass rate.

Regarding the B2 Subject 3 test, it covers the entire process of the truck road test. Preparation before starting: Walk around the vehicle for inspection, get in, adjust the seat, fasten the seatbelt, and ignite. Starting: Turn on the left signal, honk the horn, start slowly, and check the mirror. Straight-line driving: Maintain a straight line and steady speed. Gear shifting: Shift gears smoothly according to the speed. Lane changing: Signal first, wait for three seconds, check the rearview mirror, then change lanes. Pulling over: Slow down, align with the roadside without crossing the line. Going straight at intersections: Slow down, observe the signals, and proceed. Left turns: Signal, slow down, and yield to pedestrians. Right turns: Similarly, signal and proceed slowly. Passing crosswalks, school zones, and bus stops: Must slow down, yield, or stop. Meeting vehicles: Keep to the right, slow down, and let the other party pass first. Overtaking: Choose the right moment, signal, accelerate, and overtake safely. U-turns: Signal and turn around in spacious sections. Finally, the light test includes nighttime light switching operations. Each step must be performed according to the standards. Practice more to reduce mistakes like forgetting to signal or improper gear shifting.
