What is the content of Subject Three?
2 Answers
Subject Three generally refers to the road driving skills test and the safe and civilized driving common sense test. The content and key points are as follows: Content: The candidate must follow the instructions of the safety officer, approach the vehicle, walk around the vehicle from the left front door to the rear, confirm safety, and then open the door to enter the vehicle. Upon hearing the voice prompt to turn left at the upcoming intersection, turn on the left turn signal for more than 3 seconds, and then turn left into the driving lane according to the guiding arrow. Key Points: Walk-around inspection. After confirming safety, open the driver's door, close it, and then walk clockwise around the vehicle to inspect the front lights, front wheels (ensuring no obstacles), and the rear lights and rear wheels.
I experienced the Subject 3 test in the Chinese driver's license exam, which feels like the real on-road test phase. It's mainly divided into several major sections: First is the pre-driving preparation, where you need to adjust the seat and mirrors and fasten the seatbelt. Then comes the simulated nighttime lighting operations, such as turning on the hazard lights or changing light types. The starting section requires smooth acceleration and checking the dashboard. During driving, it includes maintaining lane discipline during straight-line driving, changing lanes by checking mirrors and signaling, slowing down and observing when passing intersections, and decelerating or yielding when passing crosswalks, school zones, or bus stops. When meeting oncoming vehicles, you must yield; when overtaking, ensure safety and signal; U-turns require flexible handling; and finally, parallel parking to align with the designated spot. The entire process examines driving skills, traffic rule compliance, and safety awareness. During my practice, I repeatedly emphasized staying calm and practicing basic skills because this section directly determines whether you can obtain the license. Many trainees tend to make mistakes in nighttime lighting or parallel parking—regularly simulating road conditions can effectively avoid surprises. Passing the exam is a necessary step to becoming a qualified driver, so I recommend familiarizing yourself with the route and test requirements in advance.
