What to Do If You Can't See the Reference Points During the Driving Test (Subject 2) Due to Rain?

Several tips for taking the driving test on a rainy day: 1. Do not close the car windows too tightly, as this can cause fogging inside the car, obstructing your vision and affecting judgment accuracy. 2. Turn on the windshield wipers promptly when it rains, adjusting the wiper speed according to the intensity of the rain to maintain clear visibility. 3. Control your speed when driving in the rain, going slightly slower than your usual training speed. During the rainy-day road test (Subject 3), the examiner will also be concerned about driving safety, so prioritize safety over passing the test. 4. Avoid sudden acceleration or hard braking during the test, as the road is slippery in the rain, visibility is poor, and the wheels are prone to skidding. Stay calm and operate the vehicle cautiously. 5. When passing through areas with standing water or under overpasses where water may overflow, shift to a low gear, maintain steady throttle, and proceed slowly in one go. Do not stop, shift gears, or make sharp turns midway, as this could cause the vehicle to stall and result in failure. 6. When driving in heavy rain, pay extra attention to maintaining a safe following distance. Visibility is already poor in the rain, and the road is slippery. Avoid slamming on the brakes; instead, use gentle or intermittent braking to control speed and give the vehicle behind enough time to react under poor visibility. 7. Practice courteous driving. When passing through waterlogged areas with pedestrians or non-motorized vehicles, slow down and ease off the throttle to avoid splashing water onto them. This is also part of the assessment, so please take note.
