During the Subject 3 driving test, you can carry your phone with you. However, it is best to keep it turned off. If the phone rings or vibrates during the test and is noticed by the examiner, your results will be invalidated. Tips for Subject 3: You can bring your phone during the Subject 3 test, but it's advisable to turn it off to avoid affecting your performance; Starting details: Walk around the vehicle counterclockwise from the driver's door, return to the driver's door, enter the car, adjust the seat and fasten the seatbelt, lightly press the accelerator, and then apply for the Subject 3 test; Turn on the left signal and observe the road conditions behind the vehicle; Shift into first gear, slowly release the clutch to start the vehicle, lightly press the accelerator to increase speed, and shift gears according to road conditions to ensure the vehicle operates efficiently without affecting other vehicles.

During the driving test (Subject 3), proper phone placement is crucial. When I took my driving test, I strictly followed the examination rules: the phone must be turned off or set to silent mode and then placed in a pocket. The upper pocket is a better choice as it won’t fall out and interfere with your operation. If placing it in a pocket is inconvenient, you can put it in a small bag beside the seat, but make sure it doesn’t block the pedals or your view. Remember, any sound from the phone can distract you, and if the examiner hears it, they may directly rule it as a violation, resulting in test failure—which would be a huge loss. It’s advisable to check the battery before the test to ensure it doesn’t turn on or off automatically, and develop the habit of placing it securely. The test environment is already stressful, so keeping your phone properly stored can help you focus on vehicle control and avoid accidents.
