Before the test, it is essential to familiarize yourself with all the switches in the car, especially the light switches. You must also get accustomed to the accelerator pedal, brake pedal, and clutch pedal, understanding their coordination and the feel under your foot. Pay close attention to the semi-engagement point and the coordination between the clutch and accelerator. Additionally, don't overlook the pre-drive vehicle checks, such as fastening the seatbelt, adjusting the rearview mirrors, and checking the steering wheel.

I've also experienced the embarrassment of failing the driving test (Subject 3) multiple times. The key is not to give up – mindset is everything. After each failure, calmly review your performance, jot down mistakes like forgetting to signal or braking too abruptly, then practice those weak spots specifically. Find an empty lot to run simulation laps at night, and have an experienced driver coach you during daytime practice to ease nerves. Adjust your sleep schedule to ensure peak alertness on exam day, and eat light snacks like bread to avoid low-blood-sugar distractions. Remember – a driver's license is a lifelong skill. Don't let four setbacks define you. Persist, and you'll notice your skills improving steadily. Failure isn't the destination but a stepping stone. Trust me, that ultimate moment of passing makes every effort worthwhile.

Failing the driving test (Section 3) repeatedly is quite common, so don't panic. Focus on checking basic operations: whether the start is smooth, if you check the mirrors when changing lanes, and if the parking is aligned—these details are easy to lose points on. I often see test-takers speeding or forgetting to signal. It's recommended to put extra effort into these areas during practice. Consider enrolling in additional training sessions at a driving school; instructors can point out habitual issues like braking too abruptly or poor gear-shifting timing. Watch videos of the test route multiple times to familiarize yourself with every turn, and do a couple of mock tests beforehand to get a feel for it. Don't hesitate to invest time and money in practice—it pays off, and you'll gradually find your rhythm and build confidence.

When people mention three-cylinder engines, they can't help but think of the vibrations that make hands go numb. Due to the inherent structural defects of three-cylinder engines, the vibration issue is difficult to eliminate. The only solution is to use technological means to reduce the transmission of vibrations to the car body, thereby improving comfort. Compact size: Three-cylinder engines are small in size and light in weight, which reduces the overall weight of the vehicle and decreases fuel consumption. Small displacement: With only three cylinders, the engine has a small displacement, aligning with the national call for emission reduction and energy conservation. It also reflects the environmental responsibility of a major corporation.
