2 Answers
In Subject 3, gear shifting (acceleration and deceleration) has no voice prompts. Apart from gear shifting, the only items without voice prompts that require brake tapping are "passing school zones" and "passing bus stops." Therefore, during the subsequent exam, it is crucial to memorize the route clearly and not rely solely on voice announcements. During the test, try to drive slowly, stay observant, and prepare in advance for entering intersections to minimize unexpected situations. Here is additional information: Items with voice prompts: Apart from the above, the remaining items in Subject 3—preparation before starting, starting, driving straight, changing lanes, turning left, turning right, meeting oncoming vehicles, overtaking, making a U-turn, simulating nighttime driving, and pulling over—all have voice prompts. In these cases, simply follow the instructions to complete the corresponding operations. Note: However, it is worth noting that driving test requirements may vary slightly between regions, and voice prompts may differ as well. It is advisable to clarify these details with the local driving school instructor.
When I first started learning to drive, the Subject 3 test left a deep impression on me. Some test items had no voice prompts at all - everything relied on my own observation and operation. For example, during the vehicle preparation phase, the system wouldn't remind you to check doors, mirrors, or surrounding safety; these all had to be done consciously. When approaching pedestrian crossings, there was no voice telling you to slow down - you had to spot the signs yourself. The same went for school zones and bus stops, silently testing your judgment. I only realized after passing that these designs were meant to train real driving habits - you can't just wait for instructions, or you might lose points in an unguarded moment. After running several practice rounds at the test site and familiarizing myself with these points, it became much easier. Developing this rhythm of proactive observation makes driving safer and more reliable.
