What is the mileage requirement for Subject 3 timed driving?

[VonJayden]

Subject 3 timed driving requires a minimum mileage of no less than 300 kilometers. Here are the details: Training hours: Subject 3's "Road Driving Skills and Safe & Civilized Driving Knowledge" requires 16 training hours, while the actual operation of road driving skills requires 24 training hours. Combined with the other subjects, the total actual operation training time reaches 48 hours. Teaching objectives of Subject 3: Subject 3 mainly focuses on mastering safe and civilized driving knowledge, possessing comprehensive vehicle control capabilities; understanding the dynamic characteristics of pedestrians and non-motor vehicles, as well as methods for predicting and analyzing risks; proficiently mastering general road and nighttime driving methods, and being able to drive safely according to different road traffic conditions; developing the ability to consciously comply with traffic regulations, effectively handle random traffic situations, and unconsciously and reasonably operate vehicles.

As someone who frequently interacts with trainees, I've noticed that the kilometer requirements for Subject 3 training are primarily hour-based. China's driver's license examination stipulates that Subject 3 must complete a specified number of training hours—approximately 16 hours for C1 manual transmission and 12 hours for C2 automatic transmission—without mandatory kilometer standards. However, driving schools often set internal goals, such as recommending around 200 kilometers of practice to familiarize trainees with road conditions and vehicle control. Trainees should communicate with their instructors to confirm local requirements and practice on various road sections multiple times. Accumulating more kilometers makes handling the exam easier. I've also seen cases where trainees only met the hour requirement but lacked sufficient kilometers, leading to nervous mistakes during the test. Therefore, proactively increasing practice is always a wise choice.

I remember when taking the driving test for Subject 3 last year, the coach strictly required us to log 180 kilometers before we could sign up. Every time we got in the car, we kept an eye on the odometer, gradually shifting from short urban drives to long suburban trips. Accumulating these miles not only stabilized our driving feel but also made gear shifts and turns smoother. There's no official mileage requirement, but driving schools generally set it between 150-250 kilometers to monitor progress effectively. Don’t rush—steadily practicing to meet this target can save you a lot of panic during the test. Pay extra attention to road signs and traffic lights in daily practice, and your confidence will naturally grow as the mileage adds up.

Driving safety is more important than anything else, and insufficient training mileage in Subject 3 may leave hidden dangers. Although the official requirement is based on class hours, most driving schools recommend practicing at least 100 kilometers or more. This will help you familiarize yourself with emergency situations, such as braking in rainy weather or dealing with traffic congestion. Practicing on more road sections and accumulating mileage will make your skills more solid.
