What to do if a car intentionally cuts you off during the driving test (Subject 3)?

[VonMarcus]

Maliciously cutting off another vehicle is considered a dangerous driving offense. The specific penalty depends on the severity of the malicious cutting-off behavior, as well as the impact and consequences caused. If a serious traffic accident occurs due to malicious cutting-off, resulting in severe injury, death, or significant damage to public or private property, it constitutes the crime of causing a traffic accident, punishable by up to 3 years of imprisonment or criminal detention.

I've been driving for decades and have seen all sorts of bizarre situations. When encountering deliberate cutting-in during the driving test (Subject 3), the key is to prioritize staying calm and not getting provoked by the other party. Safe driving comes first—maintain your lane and avoid changing lanes or accelerating out of anger. Remember, the examiner is observing whether you can steadily control the vehicle. If the other car gets too close, slightly reduce speed to increase the distance, and don't provoke with the horn. You can explain the situation to the examiner afterward; they usually judge and score based on the actual circumstances. Practicing driving under pressure helps you adapt to unexpected situations. The road test mainly evaluates basic skills and safety awareness, not who's more aggressive.

Young drivers often get nervous during tests, but don't let aggressive tailgaters provoke you. Stay calm, keep your eyes on the road ahead, and avoid distractions from those troublemaking vehicles. They might try to intimidate you, but as long as you maintain a steady speed, avoid lane changes, and don't engage in road battles, the examiner won't deduct points. If they get too close, just lightly tap the brakes to slow down slightly. After the test, briefly report the incident to the examiner—they understand these situations. Practice simulating similar scenarios during your usual driving practice to build confidence. The road test evaluates your reactions and control, so don't let external disruptions ruin your rhythm.

Dealing with intentional tailgating is straightforward: first, maintain a safe distance and avoid following too closely; control yourself to avoid sudden maneuvers; stay calm and continue driving. During the test, the examiner focuses on your safety, so ignore provocations and maintain your speed. If necessary, give a short honk as a reminder, but don’t prolong it. Afterwards, inform the examiner of the details. Remember, obeying traffic rules is key—don’t risk major consequences for minor issues. Practicing defensive driving helps in handling such situations.
