Remain silent. Below is relevant information: Content: The Subject Three Safe and Civilized Driving Knowledge Test includes: safe and civilized driving operation requirements, safe driving knowledge under adverse weather and complex road conditions, emergency handling methods for situations like tire blowouts, and post-accident handling knowledge. Requirements: After the examinee completes all required items and drives a distance of more than 3 kilometers, the system will automatically prompt to pull over. Upon hearing the pull-over voice command, the examinee should choose a clear curb (or solid road edge line) on the test route and complete the pull-over maneuver after confirming safety. After completing the pull-over, the system will announce the test results via voice.

Right after I passed the driving test’s third section, I also thought about this. After getting in the car, just greet the examiner politely with a simple 'Hello, examiner,' and hand over your ID with both hands. Don’t bother with small talk about the weather or whether they’ve eaten. Once seated, first adjust the seat and mirrors, buckle the seatbelt with a click, and test the clutch pedal height. The examiner might be filling out forms or checking equipment at this point, so quietly check the dashboard lights. Finally, when you’re ready, say 'Examiner, I’m ready.' Don’t be so nervous that your hands shake—stay natural. Examiners are just regular people; the more relaxed you are, the easier it is to pass. Some instructors suggest adding 'Please guide me,' but don’t overdo it with flattery. Remember, proper operation matters way more than sweet talk.

Our instructor repeatedly emphasizes the importance of politeness and proper etiquette. Upon entering the car, first nod to the examiner and say 'Hello, teacher,' without letting your eyes wander. When handing over your ID, don't reach beyond the center line. Adjust the seat without making loud creaking noises, and stop after moving the rearview mirror a couple of times. After fastening your seatbelt, place both hands on the steering wheel and wait. Only answer with your name when the examiner asks; otherwise, don't speak unnecessarily. It's best to remain silent throughout, only saying 'I'm ready' when confirming. Some people try to appear enthusiastic by saying 'Thank you for your hard work, examiner,' but it comes off as insincere. After the test, remember to say 'Thank you, examiner,' and close the door gently when exiting. These details are easy to overlook if the instructor doesn't mention them.

Focus on three key steps: greeting, reporting, and awaiting instructions. Upon entering the car, smile and say 'Good day, examiner'—don’t be too loud to avoid startling them. Immediately adjust your seat and fasten your seatbelt upon sitting down; these actions speak louder than words. After completing these, look the examiner in the eye and say 'Candidate XXX is ready.' If the examiner is busy writing, wait quietly without rushing them. Unless spoken to, remain silent throughout the process. One candidate lost points for asking 'Can I turn on the air conditioner?' unnecessarily. Remember, examiners dislike two things most: being overly casual or excessively nervous. Keeping it simple and composed is the safest approach.

Last week, while accompanying a friend for their driving test, I noticed some details. After getting in the car, clearly say 'Hello Examiner, I am candidate XXX' to facilitate the examiner's verification. Avoid calling them 'teacher' or 'brother'; using 'Examiner' is the most formal. Don't bend forward when speaking, as it may appear submissive. Adjust the rearview mirror quickly without dawdling. After stating the key points, sit straight and wait for the examiner to initiate the test system. Some people unnecessarily ask 'Shall we start now?' Don't forget to check if the lights are reset and the handbrake is in position. Adding 'Thank you, Examiner' at the end is actually redundant; it's better to focus on the operation.

Observing how veteran driving instructors teach students: Knock on the door before getting in, sit properly and say 'Good day, examiner' without bowing. Keep both hands on your lap while waiting for the examiner to request your ID. When adjusting the seat, don't lean your entire back away from the seatback. The key phrase is simply 'Ready to begin'—adding your name is unnecessary. Use polite language throughout but avoid excessive bowing. At our test center, you must wait for the examiner to say 'Start the test' before igniting the engine—doing it prematurely means instant failure. Before getting out, say 'Thank you' and close the door gently. Remember, the essence of courtesy is respecting the test procedure, not trying to please the examiner.
