What is the best way to adjust the rearview mirror for Subject 3?

Subject 3 rearview mirror best adjustment method is to adjust the left rearview mirror so that the distant horizon divides it into two equal parts, occupying half of the mirror's upper and lower directions. The following is an introduction to Subject 3 knowledge: 1. Introduction: Subject 3, including road driving skills test and safe and civilized driving knowledge test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. It is the abbreviation for the road driving skills and safe and civilized driving knowledge test subjects in the motor vehicle driver's examination. The content of the road driving skills test varies depending on the type of vehicle being licensed. 2. Test content: The road driving skills test for Subject 3 generally includes: preparation before getting on the car, light simulation test, starting, driving in a straight line, shifting gears, changing lanes, parking by the roadside, going straight through intersections, turning left at intersections, turning right at intersections, passing pedestrian crossings, passing school zones, passing bus stops, meeting other vehicles, overtaking, making U-turns, and driving at night. The safe and civilized driving knowledge test generally 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 knowledge of handling after traffic accidents.

Back when I just took the driving test for Subject 3, I was figuring out how to properly adjust the rearview mirrors. Before getting in the car, first adjust the seat to a comfortable position and sit upright—that's the foundation. Then adjust the interior rearview mirror; the standard is to have a clear view of the entire rear windshield without any blind spots. For the left side mirror, adjust it so you can see a small edge of your car's side along with the distant road conditions—this makes lane changes safer. The right side mirror is a bit trickier due to the larger blind spot; I tilt it outward slightly, almost to the point where I can't see my own car, focusing on the adjacent lane. During the test, don’t rush. The examiner might ask if you've adjusted them properly. Make it a habit during practice—it helps a lot with daily driving later on. A wider field of view makes driving smoother and increases your chances of passing the test in one go.

As someone who frequently accompanies beginners taking their driving tests, I find adjusting the rearview mirrors quite crucial. The first thing after getting in the car is to adjust the seat position, and then move on to the mirrors: the interior mirror should align with the centerline of the rear window, ensuring full coverage of the view. The left mirror should be adjusted so that the car body occupies a quarter of the mirror surface, with the road conditions taking up the majority. Due to the limited position of the right mirror, it needs to be tilted outward more to reduce blind spots. It's recommended to adjust it to the point where your own car body is almost invisible. Students often overlook the right mirror during exams, leading to misjudgments of blind spots and point deductions. Emphasizing this step during regular practice not only makes the test smoother but also fosters safety awareness, developing good habits to reduce the likelihood of accidents.

I was very nervous during my driving test for Subject 3, but remembering to adjust the mirrors correctly helped: After sitting in position, adjust the interior mirror to see the entire rear window. Adjust the left mirror to show a small portion of the car body, and tilt the right mirror slightly more outward, focusing on the road conditions rather than the car body. Before starting the test, perform this set of actions first. With more practice, you'll become proficient, making it easier to secure the safety points and pass. Don’t forget to check during practice sessions.
