What Does the Subject 3 Driving Test Include?
2 Answers
Subject 3 driving test includes: preparation before starting, simulated lighting test, starting, driving in a straight line, 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 night driving. Test precautions: Fingerprint collection: If the examinee's fingerprint verification fails, please exit the vehicle to re-collect fingerprints before queuing up again for the test. Pulling over: If the examinee's score falls below the passing score during the test, the system will automatically prompt the examinee to pull over. After completing the pulling over action, the system will prompt for the next test. Driving distance: After the examinee completes all required test items and the driving distance exceeds 3 kilometers, the system will automatically prompt to pull over.
The content of the Subject 3 driving test is quite comprehensive, and I still remember it vividly from when I took it last year. During the preparation phase before starting, you need to adjust the seat and rearview mirrors, and fasten the seatbelt—don’t overlook these small details. When starting the car, you must control the clutch and accelerator smoothly to avoid stalling, which is a fundamental skill. The formal test mainly includes driving in a straight line, ensuring the car moves steadily without veering off; changing lanes requires signaling with the turn indicator and waiting a few seconds to confirm safety before turning the steering wheel; approaching intersections requires slowing down and observing traffic lights, pedestrians, and surrounding vehicles; pulling over to park is critical, as you must stop within 30 centimeters of the curb and remember to engage the handbrake. Throughout the process, the examiner will monitor safety habits, such as blind spot checks and proper use of lights—I practiced a lot to master these, as safety always comes first. Looking back now, I realize that handling real-road conditions is something I learned from this test. With enough simulated practice, passing becomes much easier.
