What Items Are Included in Subject 3?

[LaCollin]

Subject 3, the road driving skills test, generally includes the following items: preparation before getting on the vehicle, simulated lighting test, starting, driving in a straight line, gear shifting (increasing and decreasing), changing lanes, pulling over, going straight through intersections, turning left at intersections, turning right at intersections, crossing pedestrian crosswalks, passing school zones, passing bus stops, meeting oncoming vehicles, overtaking, making U-turns, and driving at night. Additional information: Test precautions: 1. If a candidate's fingerprint verification fails, they must get off the vehicle to re-collect their fingerprint before rejoining the queue for the test. 2. If a candidate's score falls below the passing threshold during the test, the system will automatically prompt them to pull over. Once the pulling over action is completed, the system will prompt the next test. 3. After completing all mandatory test items and driving a distance of more than 3 kilometers as required, the system will automatically prompt the candidate to pull over. Upon hearing the voice prompt, the candidate should choose a clear curb (or solid road edge line) along the test route and complete the pulling over action after confirming safety. After pulling over, the system will announce the test results via voice. 4. When walking around the vehicle to inspect its appearance and the surrounding environment, ensure that the distance between the person and the vehicle is within 1 meter for accurate radar signal detection.

The road test for Subject 3 covers a lot of content. When I was practicing, my coach repeatedly emphasized these items: Before getting in the car, you must walk around the vehicle to check; the light simulation test requires quick thinking. When starting, you must turn on the signal and honk the horn, and keep your hands steady during straight-line driving. Gear shifting should be smooth, especially when downshifting from 3rd to 2nd gear without hesitation. For lane changes and overtaking, you must signal in advance and check the mirrors. Slow down ahead of intersections and crosswalks, and don’t exceed 30km/h within 30 meters of schools or bus stops. When making a U-turn, find the right spot to complete it in one go. Finally, the most nerve-wracking part is parking within 30cm of the edge line. The entire 3-kilometer test requires completing over ten operations, and missing or incorrectly using the turn signal will result in an immediate fail.

Over the years of instructing students, the core of Subject 3 has always been testing safe driving awareness. Mandatory test items include: pre-start vehicle inspection, nighttime light simulation, straight-line driving (steering wheel movement less than 5 degrees), gear shifting (especially reaching 40km/h in 4th gear), lane changing (indicate for 3 seconds before steering), pulling over (within 30cm without crossing lines), proceeding straight through intersections (light braking to reduce speed). Additionally, there are left/right turns, passing school/bus zones (not exceeding 30km/h), yielding during oncoming traffic, overtaking (completed within 200 meters), and U-turns (choosing wide areas). The challenge lies in the random test routes, requiring constant anticipation of road conditions.

Subject 3 tests practical road operation skills. Before getting in the car, walk around the vehicle counterclockwise to check four sensor points; after entering, first adjust the seat and mirrors, fasten the seatbelt, and perform simulated lighting; when starting, remember to turn on the left signal and check the mirror; during driving, complete straight-line driving (steady throttle), gear shifting (speed-gear matching), lane changing, and overtaking. Special road condition handling includes lightly tapping the brakes at crosswalks and reducing speed to below 30 km/h near schools and bus stops. Finally, before pulling the handbrake when parking by the roadside, turn off the turn signal. Don't be nervous during the test, and glance at the rearview mirror every ten seconds.

When preparing for Subject 3, master these steps: 1. Pre-drive checks (walk-around button + seat adjustment) 2. Light test (6 random items) 3. Starting (signal, honk, observe) 4. Straight driving (no deviation within 100m) 5. Gear shifting (shift to 4th gear at least once) 6. Lane change (complete within 7 seconds) 7. Passing intersections (brake twice) 8. Special zones (school/bus stop - decelerate 30m in advance) 9. Overtaking (return after left-side pass) 10. U-turn (decelerate to 1st gear) 11. Parking (within 30cm of curb). Forgetting turn signal deducts 10 points, crossing solid line means retest.

Only after taking the test do you realize that the challenges of Subject 3 are all in the details. You must press four buttons when walking around the car; the lighting simulation is prone to errors with high beams and temporary parking; forgetting to release the handbrake when starting is the most regrettable; don’t jerk the wheel if the car drifts during straight-line driving; don’t look down at the gear during acceleration and deceleration; always turn your head to check blind spots when changing lanes or overtaking; you must stop at crosswalks if there are pedestrians; use first gear for the most stable U-turns; when parking by the curb, engage the handbrake before turning off the engine. My instructor emphasized: failing to brake when passing a bus stop means an automatic fail, and during night tests, remember to switch between high and low beams.
