What to Do When There's a Car Behind During Overtaking in Subject 3?

When there's a car behind during overtaking in Subject 3, you should check the rearview mirror. Here is some information about overtaking in Subject 3: 1. Subject 3 Voice Announcement: During the overtaking task in Subject 3, if there is a car approaching from the left rear, you can detect it by checking the rearview mirror. If the car from the left rear is about to overtake the test vehicle, it may affect the completion of the overtaking maneuver. 2. Distance Limitation: If the overtaking task is not completed within the specified distance or time, the system will assume that the candidate did not follow the voice instructions, resulting in a direct deduction of 100 points. The first step should be to reduce speed and let the car behind pass before changing lanes.
During my practice for the Subject 3 driving test, when encountering a situation where the vehicle behind is following too closely, the first thing I do is to stay calm and not panic. Then, I quickly glance at the rearview mirror to confirm the distance and speed of the trailing car. If it's following too closely, I avoid rushing to overtake. Instead, I first signal my intention by turning on the indicator, while appropriately slowing down to create space, waiting for the right moment to accelerate and complete the overtaking maneuver. If I'm not confident, I simply give up on the attempt, as safety is the top priority. Forcing an overtake during the test is risky and can easily lead to point deductions. I remember my instructor always reminding me to frequently check the rearview mirror and assess the dynamic situation, which requires regular practice to develop a feel for it. From my experience, beginners often overlook the importance of anticipation, but staying calm and patient can help avoid mistakes. The key is to accumulate this skill through real-world driving scenarios.
