Where to Practice for Subject 3 Driving Test?
2 Answers
Subject 3 requires practicing at a driving school, as you cannot drive without a license and must learn under the guidance of an instructor using a training vehicle. Introduction to Subject 3: Subject 3 is the road driving skills test, commonly referred to as the "road test." It includes numerous test items and requires attention to many details, making it one of the more challenging parts of the driver's license examination. Key Points for Subject 3 Test: Walk around the vehicle to ensure safety before getting in. Turn on the left turn signal when starting. For the light simulation, activate the corresponding lights within 5 seconds after the voice prompt. Brake in advance at: straight intersections, bus stops, crosswalks, school zones, left/right turns, U-turns, and when meeting oncoming vehicles. After the test, remember to turn off all lights. For safety, wait until you hear "Test completed, you passed" before unfastening your seatbelt.
Last year when I took my driver's license test, the practice location for Subject 3 was at the driving school's training ground, which had a dedicated simulated road test area with very realistic setups like parallel parking spots, acceleration/deceleration lanes, and turning zones. The instructor took us there to practice several times a week, each session lasting most of the day, repeatedly practicing test items such as lane changes and light usage. The training ground is located at a designated site in the suburbs, with convenient transportation, no interference from other vehicles, and much higher safety standards. I recommend following the driving school's arrangements and not practicing on public roads privately—if an accident happens, it could be troublesome. Choose a driving school close to home, book time slots in advance, and stick to practicing an extra half-hour daily; accumulating experience will greatly improve your test pass rate. Remember the layout of the training ground—the exam setup will be identical, and familiarity can help ease nervousness.
