A temporary ID card can be used for the Subject 3 exam. A temporary ID card holds the same legal validity as a regular ID card and can be used as a substitute within its 3-month validity period. Therefore, there is no issue with using a temporary ID card for the Subject 3 exam. Subject 3 includes the road driving skills test and the safe and civilized driving knowledge test, which are part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. It is commonly referred to as the road driving skills and safe driving knowledge test. The full score is 100, with a passing score of 90. A retake is allowed immediately, and if the retake is failed, a new appointment can be made after 10 days. The road driving skills test for Subject 3 includes: vehicle preparation, light simulation test, starting, driving straight, gear shifting, lane changing, pulling over, passing through intersections straight, left turns at intersections, right turns at intersections, crossing pedestrian crossings, passing school zones, passing bus stops, meeting vehicles, overtaking, U-turns, and night driving. Subject 3 exam precautions: Starting: Close the door, fasten the seatbelt, turn on the left signal, shift to 2nd gear, honk three times, check the left rearview mirror, slowly release the clutch while accelerating, and release the parking brake to start without rolling back. Straight through intersections: Speed should not exceed 30 or drop below 20; crossing the yellow line is prohibited. Bus stops: Speed should not exceed 30 or drop below 20; crossing the yellow line is prohibited. Right turns at intersections: Turn on the left signal 3 seconds in advance, speed should not exceed 30 or drop below 20; crossing the line is prohibited. Lane changing: Turn on the left signal 3 seconds in advance, speed should not exceed 30 or drop below 20; crossing the lane line is prohibited. Overtaking: Turn on the left signal 3 seconds in advance, speed should not exceed 30 or drop below 20; crossing the lane line is prohibited. Left turns at intersections: Turn on the left signal 3 seconds in advance, speed should not exceed 30 or drop below 20; crossing the line is prohibited. Passing school zones: Speed should not exceed 30 or drop below 20; crossing the line and honking are prohibited. Driving straight: Shift to 5th gear when speed exceeds 40; speed must remain above 40; crossing the line is prohibited. Accelerating: Shift to 5th gear when speed exceeds 40; speed must remain above 40; crossing the line is prohibited. U-turns: Choose an appropriate section, turn on the right signal to move to the far-right lane, stop, turn on the left signal, shift to 2nd gear, and perform a two-forward-one-reverse U-turn without rolling back. Pulling over: Turn on the right signal for 3 seconds before pulling over; the right wheel must not exceed 30 cm from the roadside line, apply the parking brake, and shift to neutral. Subject 3 scoring criteria: The following situations result in immediate failure: Not wearing a seatbelt as required; Obstructing or disabling in-car audio/video monitoring devices; Not following the examiner's instructions; Rolling back more than 30 cm when starting; Gear and speed mismatch for an extended period, causing engine RPM to be too high or too low; Failing to shift gears twice consecutively while driving; Coasting in neutral while driving; Not following traffic signals, signs, or markings; Not driving at the required speed; Driving over solid center lines or lane edge lines; Driving over lane dividers for more than 15 seconds; Changing two or more lanes consecutively; Parking in no-parking zones like crosswalks or grid areas; Not attending the exam at the scheduled time.

When I was preparing for the driving test (Subject 3), I accidentally lost my ID card and panicked for a while. I quickly asked my driving school instructor, who suggested that applying for a temporary ID card would be the safest option—just go to the local police station, and it’s usually done on the spot or within a short wait. Alternatively, a passport is also a common substitute; bringing a valid passport can also verify your identity. If you don’t have either, try bringing the original household registration booklet, but confirm whether the test center accepts it, as some places have stricter rules. Before the test, remember to contact the exam staff in advance to explain your situation—they might require additional documentation to avoid any last-minute verification issues that could affect your mood. Taking a driving test is a big deal, so being well-prepared will help you handle it with ease.

Last time before Subject 3 exam, I found my ID card missing and immediately contacted the test center. The staff said a temporary ID or passport could be used as substitutes. I rushed to the police station and spent two hours getting a temporary ID - the process was smooth, just requiring form filling and photo submission. A passport would also work if it's not expired. The key is to act promptly; don't wait until exam day to panic. Consulting the regulations one day in advance gives peace of mind. Just make sure to bring proper documents to avoid being rejected during the test.

What Are the Causes of Metal Friction Noise in the Rear Wheel of a Scooter?

Here are the specific reasons for the metal friction noise in the rear wheel of a scooter: Brake clearance adjusted too tightly: The brake clearance is adjusted too tightly, or the brake block return spring is broken. Bearing wear: The rear axle bearing is worn or damaged. Lack of gear oil: The rear wheel gearbox is low on gear oil. It is necessary to inspect and resolve these issues promptly. Below is additional information about scooters: No gears: Scooters do not have gears; they all use continuously variable transmission (CVT). The front brake is on the right handle, while the rear brake can be either a foot brake or a hand brake. If it's a hand brake, it is located on the left handle, similar to a bicycle's brake. Other configurations: The horn is located on the lower left side, and the turn signals are in the middle of the left-hand switch. Turning the switch to either side activates the corresponding turn signal. Generally, the topmost switch is the headlight dimmer switch. If the headlight switch on the right side is turned on, this switch can be used to toggle between high and low beams.
