Subject 3 driving test is conducted sequentially according to the established test items. Each item is usually preceded by a voice prompt. The following are all the test items and their sequence for Subject 3: Preparation before getting on the car: For the first time getting on the car, verify identity information first, and get off the car after the safety officer confirms. Perform a vehicle inspection, and confirm safety. After getting on the car, adjust the rearview mirror and seat position, and check whether the gear, handbrake, lights, etc. have been reset. Starting: Turn on the left turn signal and start with gear 1. Straight-line driving: Ensure straight-line driving by slightly adjusting the steering wheel (excessive adjustment will lead to disqualification). Gear shifting: You can keep your left hand on the steering wheel and your right hand on the gear lever. Be careful not to skip gears, and pause briefly in the neutral position each time you shift gears to avoid the system misjudging the operation as an error due to too fast operation. Lane change: When you hear "Please change lanes," turn on the turn signal, and wait for 3 seconds before turning the steering wheel. Going straight through an intersection: Slow down in advance and shift to a low gear (1-2). Stop and wait if necessary, and do not compete with pedestrians. Left turn at an intersection: When you hear "Left turn ahead," turn on the left turn signal in advance (wait for 3 seconds before turning left). Right turn at an intersection: When you hear "Right turn ahead," turn on the right turn signal in advance (wait for 3 seconds before turning right). Passing a crosswalk: When you hear "Crosswalk ahead," slow down and reduce speed to below 30km/h. Passing a school zone: Slow down to below 30km/h in advance and pass slowly in gear 2. Passing a bus stop: When the student sees a bus stop ahead, slow down to below 30km/h in advance. Meeting: When vehicles meet, the student should pay attention to oncoming vehicles and drive on the right side of the lane until the meeting is over. Overtaking: When overtaking, turn on the left turn signal first, observe the vehicles in the left rear lane through the rearview mirror, and confirm safety. After the turn signal has been on for 3 seconds, turn the steering wheel to the left and gradually enter the left lane to overtake. When overtaking the vehicle, confirm a safe distance from the overtaken vehicle, turn on the right turn signal, and observe the vehicles in the right rear lane. After confirming safety and waiting for the right turn signal to be on for 3 seconds, return to the original lane. U-turn: Before making a U-turn, slow down and shift to a lower gear, turn on the left turn signal in advance (more than 3 seconds), and make a quick U-turn after confirming safety. Simulated night driving: Do not rush to answer. Complete the specified operation within 5 seconds after the voice prompt is completed. Pulling over: The candidate turns on the right turn signal (more than 3 seconds), parks the vehicle (right side) parallel to the curb (or solid line at the edge of the road) within 30 cm, but does not press the curb (or solid line at the edge of the road), stabilizes the vehicle, pulls up the parking brake, and shifts to neutral.

I remember when I took the Subject 3 driving test, the entire process was divided into several stages: first, preparing in the car—adjusting the seat, mirrors, and fastening the seatbelt—before the safety officer checked my documents to begin. The simulated lighting test section, such as how to use headlights for night driving, required quick and accurate responses. Then the road test started: starting the car, driving straight, changing lanes, turning at intersections, slowing down and yielding to pedestrians in school zones, and performing overtaking or U-turn maneuvers. Pulling over required stopping steadily within 30 cm of the curb. The whole process took about 15 minutes, with the examiner constantly observing my use of turn signals and mirror-checking habits. I was nervous at the time, but after taking deep breaths and focusing on my actions, I passed. Practicing the test route repeatedly during training and mastering brake and gear control were key. After the test, I understood the importance of safe driving even more.

The common process for the Subject 3 driving test is as follows: Before entering the vehicle, the candidate presents their identification. After confirming safety, they enter the car, adjust their position, and begin the light simulation test. The driving portion includes starting the vehicle, shifting gears (both up and down), driving straight, making left and right turns, yielding to oncoming traffic, passing through pedestrian crossings or under bridges, and finally pulling over to park correctly. Throughout the process, an examiner supervises, paying close attention to every detail such as using turn signals and observing surroundings. I recommend practicing handling complex intersections before the test, like driving slowly in the rain without sudden braking. Always remember to fasten the seatbelt and avoid crossing solid lines when parking. The entire test evaluates basic driving skills, and mastering vehicle control will make passing it much easier.

Hey, the simple steps for Subject 3 test: Check the seat, mirrors, and seatbelt after getting in the car, then test light operations like switching high beams. The road driving section includes starting, driving straight, turning with turn signals, observing traffic signals at intersections, and finding a spot to pull over safely. The examiner watches if your actions are accurate, like checking traffic flow and not running red lights. Don’t panic during the test—I passed on my first try by frequently checking mirrors and controlling speed. Practice parking skills, just don’t park too far from the curb.

What Causes the Gear Lever to Make Abnormal Noises When Shifting Gears?

Automatic transmission cars may produce squeaking sounds from the gear lever, which can affect the vehicle's usage. It is essential to promptly identify the issue and perform maintenance or repairs to extend the car's lifespan. The specific reasons for the squeaking sounds from the gear lever in automatic transmission cars are as follows: 1. The parking location might not be on a flat surface but on a slight slope, and if the brake is not pressed firmly enough, it can cause the gear lever to make squeaking sounds. 2. If there is a clicking sound, it is because the reverse gear lacks a synchronizer, leading to abnormal noises from the gear lever. 3. The above situations may also be caused by malfunctioning slide valves.

Does Parking on a Slope Damage the Car?

Long-term parking on a slope can affect the handbrake system and suspension, and may also lead to rolling or scraping accidents. Parking precautions: 1. Do not use the handbrake: Avoid using the handbrake for extended parking periods. Continuous tension on the steel cable can cause irreversible plastic deformation, accelerate aging, and reduce its service life. Especially when parking on an inclined slope, a loose or broken cable may cause the car to slide down the slope, which is dangerous. When parking, ensure that the handbrake components are not under tension. 2. Using the handbrake: For short-term parking at workplaces in the morning or evening, the handbrake system can be used. Try to park on flat ground where the car is not subjected to external forces, then engage the handbrake.
