What are the test items for Driving Test Subject 3?
2 Answers
Subject 3 road driving skills test consists of 16 items: preparation before getting on the car, starting, driving in a straight line, shifting gears, turning left at an intersection, turning right at an intersection, changing lanes, passing through an intersection, parking by the roadside, passing through a pedestrian crossing, passing through a school zone, passing through a bus stop, meeting another car, overtaking, making a U-turn, and driving at night. The following are specific instructions: Precautions for making a U-turn: Upon hearing the voice prompt "Please make a U-turn ahead," the candidate should turn on the left turn signal (for more than 3 seconds), observe the traffic conditions behind through the (left) rearview mirror, and only after confirming safety, reduce the speed, shift to a lower gear, and enter the U-turn area. When entering the U-turn area, observe the road conditions on both sides, and after confirming safety, enter the traffic lane and drive normally, then turn off the left turn signal. Precautions for turning right at an intersection: Upon hearing the voice prompt "Turn right at the intersection ahead," turn on the right turn signal (for more than 3 seconds), then turn right into the traffic lane according to the guide arrow lane.
I just passed the Level 3 driving test not long ago, which mainly assesses practical driving skills on real roads. The examiner sits in the passenger seat and asks you to drive along a designated route. The starting procedure requires checking the dashboard, adjusting the mirrors, engaging first gear, releasing the clutch, and starting smoothly without stalling. During driving, maneuvers include left and right turns, which require signaling, checking blind spots before proceeding; lane changes require checking mirrors and surroundings to ensure safety; parking includes pulling over to the curb and stopping on a slope, testing clutch control to prevent rolling back. There are also simulated scenarios like passing through traffic lights and yielding to pedestrians, where the examiner evaluates your timely reactions and adherence to traffic rules. During practice, it's important to spend more time on actual roads to get familiar with the vehicle. I once almost lost points for changing lanes without checking the mirrors, but I stayed calm and passed in the end.
