When encountering rainy weather during Subject 3 driving test, pay attention to not closing the car windows too tightly, turn on the windshield wipers, drive slowly, brake in advance, and maintain a safe distance. Here is more relevant information: 1. Subject 3: Includes road driving skills test and safety and civilized driving knowledge test. It is part of the motor vehicle driver's license examination, and is the abbreviation for the road driving skills and safety and civilized driving knowledge test subjects in the motor vehicle driver's examination. 2. Subject 3 Test Content: The road driving skills test for Subject 3 includes: preparation before driving, simulated nighttime lighting test, starting, driving straight, shifting gears, changing lanes, parking by the roadside, going straight through intersections, turning left at intersections, turning right at intersections, crossing pedestrian crossings, passing school zones, passing bus stops, meeting vehicles, overtaking, making U-turns, and nighttime driving for large buses, tractors, city buses, medium buses, large trucks, small cars, small automatic transmission cars, low-speed trucks, and special small automatic transmission passenger cars for the disabled.

Driving in the rain requires extra caution, especially during stressful moments like the Category 3 driving test. I would first slow down and drive carefully, as braking distances increase on slippery roads, so it's essential to ease off the accelerator early to prepare for braking. During the test, it's mandatory to turn on the windshield wipers and headlights to improve visibility. Examiners usually pay more attention to safe operations in such weather, so avoid rushing to change lanes or make turns. Maintain a safe following distance to prevent skidding or rear-end collisions. Before the test, check if the wipers are functioning properly and bring a towel to wipe the windshield to prevent fogging from affecting visibility. Taking deep breaths to stay calm is key. In short, the most important thing about driving in the rain is safety first, ensuring a smooth pass in the exam.

I encountered rainy weather during my driving test (Subject 3), which really tested my composure. The instructor had advised me to just slow down and drive carefully, not to worry too much about the examiner deducting points. That day, I drove at a slower pace, using the windshield wipers and headlights, and the examiner didn’t say much—after all, everyone is extra cautious on slippery roads. The key is to keep a steady grip on the steering wheel, avoid sudden braking or sharp turns, because safe operation matters far more than speed during the test. Familiarize yourself with the test route beforehand; if heavy rain hits, pause for a few seconds before moving—don’t push your luck. I’d recommend practicing rainy-day driving a few times before the test to build confidence and stay calm.

Rainy day driving tests basic skills. Adjust the wipers faster to clear rainwater and avoid blocked vision. I use the front defroster to prevent fogging on the windshield. During the test, turn on the position lights and contour lights as required. Brake gently to prevent skidding and loss of control. The examiner for the Subject 3 test might be more lenient, but don't take it lightly. Slowing down is key—maintain a greater safety distance than usual. Practice these maneuvers regularly, and driving in the rain will be no problem.

Be well-prepared for the driving test (Subject 3) on rainy days. I will check the weather forecast in advance and bring a cloth to wipe the inside of the windows if it rains. Before the test, ensure the wipers and lights are functioning properly, and the tire pressure is not too low to prevent skidding. If it rains during the test, take a deep breath, stay calm, drive slowly and steadily; the examiner usually won’t be too harsh. Keep the car well-ventilated to avoid fogging up the windows. In short, proper preparation will help you pass smoothly.
