2 Answers
Subject 3 includes the road driving skills test and the safety and civilized driving knowledge test. The details are as follows: 1. The road driving skills test of Subject 3 includes: vehicle preparation, light simulation test, starting, driving in a straight line, gear shifting operations, 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 vehicles, overtaking, making U-turns, and driving at night. 2. The safety and civilized driving knowledge test includes: requirements for safe and civilized driving operations, safe driving knowledge under adverse weather and complex road conditions, emergency handling methods for situations such as tire blowouts, and post-accident handling knowledge.
As a driving enthusiast, I recall my experience taking the Level 3 driving test, which primarily assesses basic driving skills on actual roads. It includes pre-driving preparations such as adjusting the seat and mirrors; starting the vehicle smoothly and pulling out; maintaining a steady speed within the limit without sudden acceleration or deceleration; using turn signals when changing lanes and waiting at least three seconds while checking the mirrors; slowing down and checking left and right traffic at intersections while obeying traffic signals; turning maneuvers including left and right turns, signaling in advance and choosing the correct lane; and parking tasks like parallel parking or reverse parking into a bay, requiring proper alignment with the lines. The examiner focuses on safety details throughout, such as wearing a seatbelt and checking blind spots—some people get nervous and overlook these. I’ve seen a friend lose points for parking too close to the curb. It’s best to practice the entire set of maneuvers in an open area to develop real-road awareness, which directly impacts daily driving safety and confidence.
