Why do you need to close the car door twice in Subject 3?
3 Answers
Because you need to first observe the rear situation through the rearview mirror, then half-open the door, check the left rear situation again, and then get out of the car. Here are the relevant introductions: 1. Subject 3: Subject 3, including road driving skills test and safety and civilized driving knowledge test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. It is the abbreviation of the road driving skills and safety and civilized driving knowledge test subjects in the motor vehicle driver's test. The content of the road driving skills test varies for different types of driving licenses. 2. Test content: preparation for getting on the car, simulated night light test, starting, driving in a straight line, shifting gears, changing lanes, parking by the roadside, going straight through intersections, turning left at intersections, turning right at intersections, passing pedestrian crossings, passing school areas, passing bus stops, meeting cars, overtaking, turning around, and driving at night.
As an experienced driver with years of driving under my belt, I believe the requirement in Subject 3 to close the car door twice is entirely for safety considerations. During the test, this seemingly minor action carries significant meaning. The first door closure might be done with a slip of the hand or lack of attention, leaving the door not securely shut. Immediately closing it a second time ensures it's completely locked, preventing the danger of the door suddenly popping open while driving. This habit reminds me of when I first learned to drive—there was a time making a turn in the city when a loose door nearly hit a pedestrian nearby, luckily I braked in time. Since then, confirming twice whether the door is securely closed has become a natural action every time I park. Setting this rule in the test not only checks attention to detail but also helps new drivers develop a conditioned reflex in daily driving: safety details determine success or failure. Once good habits are formed, potential risks on the road are greatly reduced, because small actions can save lives.
As a recent driving test passer, the 'close the car door twice' requirement in Subject Three left a deep impression on me. The instructor repeatedly emphasized that this step couldn't be skipped, as examiners observe such details during tests. The first door closure is usually instinctive, followed immediately by a second gentle push to confirm the door is locked - simulating real-world scenarios to prevent accidental door openings. Omitting this would result in safety point deductions directly affecting pass rates. Only after passing did I appreciate its value: on crowded streets, improperly closed doors might be blown open by wind or bumped by pedestrians, causing accidents. Novice drivers often get nervous and distracted; repeating this action helps stabilize mindset and cultivate cautious driving habits. Now when driving, I subconsciously perform this double-check, making me feel more secure on the road.
