What is the rhyme for turning on an overpass in Subject 4?
2 Answers
The rhyme for turning on an overpass in Subject 4 is: for a right turn, choose to change lanes before the bridge; for a left turn, choose to change lanes to the right after the bridge. Subject 4, also known as the Subject 4 theoretical test or the driver's theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license examination. The content of the Subject 4 examination includes: safe and civilized driving operation requirements, safe driving knowledge under adverse weather and complex road conditions, emergency handling methods for situations such as tire blowouts, and post-accident handling knowledge. Subject 4, also known as the Subject 4 theoretical test or the driver's theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license examination. After the implementation of the Ministry of Public Security's Order No. 123, the Subject 3 examination was divided into two parts: in addition to the road test, a safety and common sense test was added, commonly referred to as "Subject 4," which assesses "driving ethics." Because this test is conducted after Subject 3, it is commonly referred to as the Subject 4 test. Officially, there is no such term as Subject 4. Subject 4 examination answering time: The examination time is 45 minutes. During this period, if six questions are answered incorrectly, the test is immediately judged as failed. In this case, the candidate can prepare again and take the test once more. If they fail again, they can only schedule a retake for the next time. The examination consists of 50 questions, each worth two points, with a perfect score of 100 points. A score of 90 or above is considered passing.
When I was taking the driving test for Subject 4, my instructor taught me the mnemonic "left turn right, right turn left," which is simple and effective. It means that when making a turn on an overpass, it's not as intuitive as it seems: if you want to turn left, you actually need to drive to the right first, as if making a big loop on the bridge before turning left; similarly, to turn right, you first go left. I remember messing up several times during practice, almost taking the wrong lane, but memorizing the mnemonic helped. This turning design is meant to avoid intersections and reduce accident risks. It’s important in the test because taking the wrong lane will cost points. I recommend beginners watch simulation videos or practice their sense of direction in an empty lot before driving on a real overpass to reduce nervousness. Even now, I remind myself of this mnemonic, especially on unfamiliar overpass sections, to ensure safety and avoid mistakes.
