What aspects are deducted for incorrect sitting posture in Subject 3?
4 Answers
Subject 3 driving posture incorrect deduction reasons include: looking down at the gear, shifting too fast, staying in neutral for too long, not stepping on the accelerator in time when starting, etc. The following is relevant information about the driver's license test: 1. Introduction: The driver's test is a qualification examination held by the Vehicle Management Office of the Public Security Bureau. Only by passing the driver's test can you obtain a driver's license and legally drive a motor vehicle. 2. Content: The content of the motor vehicle driver's test is divided into the road traffic safety laws, regulations and related knowledge test subject (also known as the "theoretical test", referred to as "Subject 1"), the field driving skills test subject (commonly known as the "pile test", referred to as "Subject 2"), and the road driving skills and safe and civilized driving common sense test subject (commonly known as the "road test", referred to as "Subject 3"). The test content and passing standards are unified nationwide, and corresponding test items are stipulated according to different types of driving licenses.
In the subject three driving test, incorrect sitting posture mainly involves deductions in safety operations. If you adjust the seat improperly, with the backrest too reclined or too upright, it can lead to an improper body posture, affecting the accuracy of pedal operation; if the seat height is inappropriate and the steering wheel is too far from your hands, steering becomes unstable; improper distance between your feet and the clutch, brake, or accelerator can cause delayed reactions or missteps. These are all deducted under vision control and driving regulations, with the examiner deducting points from safety and standardization perspectives. I advise students not to rush starting before the test; take some time to carefully adjust: after sitting firmly, ensure your back fully contacts the backrest, with knees naturally bent to easily press the brake fully; when extending your arms to the steering wheel, your wrists should rest on its top edge; maintain a fixed head position with clear, unobstructed views in all three mirrors. Developing this good habit not only makes passing the test easier but also reduces accident risks during daily driving. Don’t underestimate sitting posture—details determine success or failure.
Points were deducted for improper seating posture during the driving test's safety operation section. Due to nervousness, I failed to adjust the seat properly, resulting in unstable clutch control, delayed brake response, and incomplete rearview mirror visibility while reversing. The examiner immediately pointed out obstructed vision, inaccurate pedal control, and unstable posture, deducting 10 points. These criteria are clearly outlined in the test regulations: seats not ergonomically calibrated compromise driving safety; incorrect steering wheel positioning leads to stiff turns; leaning posture causing body sway incurs penalties. Learning from this, I now spend 30 seconds adjusting my seat before driving: legs naturally bent at 90° with feet firmly on pedals; back fully supported by the seatback; head stationary to ensure clear mirror sightlines. A simple step to avoid retakes.
Improper sitting posture in Subject 3 (road test) is penalized primarily due to safety concerns. Incorrect angles may obscure vision through mirrors, cause delayed or excessive pedal operation, and lead to unstable turns which examiners deem hazardous and penalize. I observed my child during the driving test and emphasized developing seat-adjustment habits: maintaining comfortable leg clearance for full pedal control, and sitting upright with straight back for unobstructed visibility. This minor habit prevents major mistakes.
