What does the C1 license subject 3 test include?

[Carolyn]

C1 license subject 3 test includes: preparation before getting on the car, starting, driving in a straight line, shifting gears, changing lanes, pulling over, passing through intersections straight, turning left at intersections, turning right at intersections, passing through pedestrian crossings, passing through school zones, passing through bus stops, meeting other cars, overtaking, making U-turns, and driving at night. A driver's license is a certificate required by law in the People's Republic of China for individuals who drive motor vehicles on public roads. Those who drive civilian motor vehicles on the road must apply for a motor vehicle driver's license in accordance with relevant regulations. Driver's licenses are categorized into: a1, a2, a3, b1, b2, c1, c2, c3, c4, d, e, f, m, n, p.

I just passed the C1 Subject 3 test last year, so excited! It mainly tests your actual driving skills, not just memorization. Before getting in the car, you need to check the lights and dashboard, and the examiner will randomly instruct you to start. Then comes the starting procedure—you must use the turn signal, check the rearview mirror, and take it slow; otherwise, stalling will cost you points. During straight-line driving, maintain a steady speed, around 40 km/h. When changing lanes, turn your head to check the blind spot—don’t slack off. Approach intersections, crosswalks, and bus stops by slowing down in advance, and simulate nighttime driving, such as turning on headlights or switching off high beams during oncoming traffic. Finally, pull over to park, keeping the wheels within 30 cm of the curb, and engage the handbrake and turn off the lights. The examiner watches details throughout the process—mistakes like incorrect light usage or crossing lines will result in an immediate fail. I prepared for two months, practicing an hour daily and often discussing tips with fellow learners, like starting gently to avoid nervous shaking. Only after passing did I realize how crucial safe driving is.

As a friend who often helps trainees practice driving, I frequently assist others in preparing for the Subject 3 test. To put it bluntly, this exam tests your real driving skills—how can you pass without hitting the road? The core components include starting smoothly, maintaining a straight line without veering, and changing lanes decisively while checking your surroundings. When passing school zones or bus stops, you must slow down and yield to pedestrians. The nighttime section tests your ability to switch lights, such as turning off high beams when facing oncoming traffic. During the parking phase, you need to align the wheels precisely with the curb and remember to engage the handbrake. Common mistakes during the exam include changing lanes without checking blind spots or forgetting to turn on lights, so it’s important to practice light switches in simulations. I believe Subject 3 is a crucial part of the driving test, directly related to road safety. Mastering these habits will make daily driving smoother. Familiarizing yourself with the test route in advance can reduce stress.

I'm currently preparing for the C1 driving test (Subject 3) and spending all day practicing at the driving school. The test covers comprehensive content: first adjust the seat and mirrors after getting in the car, then perform the starting operation smoothly without hesitation. Next is maintaining steady speed during straight-line driving, followed by lane changes which require signaling and checking blind spots. Slow down and signal when approaching intersections, crosswalks, and bus stops, plus there's nighttime lighting tests like switching between high and low beams. Finally, finish with precise parallel parking. I need to memorize the procedures thoroughly to avoid minor mistakes that could deduct points. Deep breathing helps when nervous, and reading experienced drivers' strategy sharing is beneficial.
