During the straight-line driving section of Subject Three, if there is a vehicle ahead, always prioritize the examiner's commands. Typically, in such situations, the examiner will instruct the student to maintain an appropriate distance from the vehicle ahead and complete the straight-line driving operation in the current lane. Follow the examiner's instructions to proceed or stop as directed. Below are some key points to note about straight-line driving: 1. Key Point One: As the name suggests, straight-line driving requires keeping the vehicle's path in a straight line. Upon hearing the voice prompt 'Please maintain straight-line driving,' the examinee should look ahead, control the steering wheel with both hands, and keep the vehicle moving straight. To achieve this, it's essential to focus on distant reference points, which helps prevent the vehicle from deviating. 2. Key Point Two: Looking far ahead enhances spatial awareness and allows for early observation of road conditions ahead. While focusing on distant points, also pay attention to the road's edge lines to promptly detect any deviation of the vehicle. Simply holding the steering wheel steady isn't enough to pass; timely minor adjustments are crucial to avoid deviation. Remember, these adjustments should be small and flexible. 3. Key Point Three: Avoid gripping the steering wheel too tightly during straight-line driving. Instead, relax your entire body, keep your shoulders loose, hold the steering wheel lightly with both hands, and look far ahead. Stay calm and maintain a good mindset and posture.
