2 Answers
The C1 driver's license subject three exam includes preparation before getting on the car, starting, driving straight, shifting gears, changing lanes, pulling over, going straight through intersections, turning left at intersections, turning right at intersections, passing pedestrian crossings, passing school zones, passing bus stops, meeting oncoming vehicles, overtaking, making U-turns, and driving at night. According to the 'Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses,' the driving scope of a C1 driver's license includes: small and micro passenger vehicles with a total mass not exceeding 4.5 tons; light and micro cargo vehicles, with the total length of the truck not exceeding 6 meters; light, small, and micro special-purpose vehicles; small passenger vehicles carrying no more than 9 people, meaning it cannot drive vehicles with 9 or more seats. A C1 driver's license also allows driving vehicles covered by C2, C3, and C4 licenses. Precautions for the C1 subject three exam are as follows: Preparation before the exam: Walk around the car once before getting on, and pause near the monitoring area. Light simulation: Check if the light switches are reset before the simulation test begins. Starting: Observe the surrounding traffic environment before starting. During driving: Keep your eyes on the road ahead and avoid following too closely. The penalty points for the C1 driver's license subject three exam are as follows: Failing to observe the rear and right traffic conditions through the inner and outer rearview mirrors before stopping results in disqualification. Failing to stop within the specified distance after the examiner issues the command to pull over results in disqualification. After stopping, if the vehicle body exceeds the right edge of the road or the sidewalk edge, it results in disqualification. Before opening the door after stopping, failing to turn your head to observe the side and rear traffic conditions results in disqualification. Failing to use or incorrectly using the turn signal before stopping deducts 10 points. Turning the steering wheel less than 3 seconds after activating the turn signal before stopping deducts 10 points. After stopping, if the vehicle body is more than 30 cm away from the right edge of the road or the sidewalk edge, it deducts 10 points. Failing to pull the parking brake lever tightly after stopping deducts 10 points. Releasing the foot brake before pulling the parking brake lever deducts 10 points. Failing to turn off the engine before getting out of the car deducts 5 points.
The C1 driving test's Subject 3 (road test) indeed covers many items. Back when I was practicing, my instructor categorized them into three main types: First, basic operations like vehicle preparation, starting, and driving straight; second, real-road condition responses such as turning at intersections, changing lanes, overtaking, and observing school and bus stop zones; third, simulated nighttime light tests and the final parallel parking. Each item has clear evaluation criteria—for example, driving straight requires not deviating more than 30 cm from the lane, and overtaking mandates signaling for at least 3 seconds before steering. These details are particularly easy to fail on. I highly recommend focusing on practicing parallel parking and nighttime light operations, as these two have the most concentrated penalty points.
