What to Do If It Rains During the Subject Three Driving Test?

[LeoDella]

Subject Three driving test continues even if it rains. Below are the contents of each subject: 1. Subject One: Includes driving theory basics, local regulations, road safety laws and regulations, etc. The test format for Subject One consists of 60 multiple-choice questions and 40 true/false questions, each worth one point, totaling 100 points, with a passing score of 90. 2. Subject Two: Test items include five mandatory components: reversing into a parking space, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, turning at a right angle, and driving through curves. 3. Subject Three: Includes 16 test items: preparation before starting, starting the vehicle, driving straight, shifting gears, changing lanes, pulling over, going straight through intersections, turning left at intersections, turning right at intersections, passing pedestrian crossings, passing school zones, passing bus stops, meeting other vehicles, overtaking, making U-turns, and driving at night. 4. Subject Four: Safe and civilized driving test, with a full score of 100 points and a passing score of 90. The test format for Subject Four includes multiple-choice questions and true/false questions, with questions mainly in the form of case studies, pictures, animations, etc.

I often drive in rainy weather, and encountering heavy rain during the third driving test isn’t as scary as it seems. Before the test, make sure the windshield wipers are working properly—otherwise, blurred vision can be dangerous. Wet roads increase braking distance, so keeping your speed under 30 km/h is safest, and avoid sudden braking or sharp turns. Turn on the defroster to prevent fogged-up windows that could obstruct your view. Staying calm is key—don’t panic. My instructor said rainy-day tests emphasize basic skills, so driving slowly actually makes passing easier. Wear non-slip shoes to avoid foot slippage, and bring spare rain gear and a towel to stay dry and comfortable after the test.

As a novice who just passed the third driving test, I was quite surprised by the rain during the exam. I recommend arriving at the test site early and taking a few minutes to check the tires and wipers to ensure everything is fine. Drive slower in the rain and make gentle turns to avoid skidding. Turning on the air recirculation mode of the AC helps with better defogging effect, keeping your vision clear for safety. Don't worry too much about the examiner; they understand weather factors. Focus on driving maneuvers like smooth stops and turns. Bring some tissues to wipe the mirrors—I forgot last time and had slightly blurred vision. Stay relaxed and you'll do fine. The rain actually reminds you to pay attention to these details during your regular practice.

Having served as a driving instructor for many years, I've gained several insights for teaching students during the rainy-day Category 3 driving test: First, check if the wipers and lights are functioning properly, and maintain low-speed driving to control risks during the exam. Roads are slippery in rain, requiring an additional 10-20 meters for braking distance, so starting and stopping should be smoother. Set the air conditioning to recirculation mode to reduce windshield fogging and ensure clear visibility. Stay calm—examiners prioritize safe driving over speed, so avoid sharp turns. I recommend candidates practice on simulated rainy sections beforehand to familiarize themselves with handling such conditions. These steps can significantly improve pass rates.

I always pay attention to car safety, and when taking the third driving test in the rain, priority should be given to handling risks. Poor visibility and slippery conditions in rainy weather increase accident risks, so speed should be controlled in lower gears. Before starting the vehicle, ensure the wipers are working and defogging is effective. During driving, use the rearview mirror to monitor surrounding distances. Keep the windows clean during the test and use the handbrake more to assist with smooth operations. Stay calm psychologically as this is common, and the examiner will be more lenient in grading. Wear clothes and shoes suitable for rainy weather to prevent slipping.

I love my car dearly and was fully prepared for the rainy day during my driving test (Subject 3). I checked the tire pressure in advance to prevent skidding and ensured the wipers were working properly. During the test, I drove slowly, avoided sudden braking, and used intermittent braking to control the car. I set the air conditioning to recirculate to prevent window fogging—clear visibility was crucial. With more reflections on wet roads, turning on the lights increased visibility, putting safety first. Keeping a steady mindset and treating it like regular practice made passing the test a breeze.
