What are the test items for the C1 driver's license subject three exam?

[DiOlivia]

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.

As a seasoned driving instructor who has trained over a thousand students, I've observed that the five most common failure points in Subject 3 are: candidates often fumble with the lighting modes during simulated lighting tests; failing to slow down and observe when approaching bus stops; changing lanes without checking mirrors; inability to keep the steering wheel straight during straight-line driving; and finally, touching the curb line when parking. Remember these key numbers: you must respond to voice commands within 5 seconds, turn signals must be on for at least 3 seconds before steering, and keep the right tire 30-50 cm from the curb when parallel parking to avoid penalties. There are only about 3-5 test routes, so scouting them in advance is crucial.

I remember when I took the driving test for Subject 3 last year, my instructor asked me to summarize the sixteen items into four sentences: Don’t panic during the simulated lighting, observe left and right at intersections; Keep the steering wheel steady in a straight line, don’t panic during gear shifting; Check the mirrors when changing lanes, brake audibly when passing stations; Control the distance when pulling over, look back after closing the door. The hardest part was matching the speed with the gears—I often forgot to shift to third gear above 30km/h and lost points. Night tests require extra attention: low beams are the foundation, maintain them when meeting vehicles, switch to high beams in poor lighting, and remember to turn on the width markers and hazard lights when parking by the roadside.
