No points will be deducted for not pressing the brake when starting in Subject 3. Here is relevant information: Subject 3: Subject 3 includes the road driving skills test and the safety and civilized driving knowledge test, which is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. It is the abbreviated name for the road driving skills and safety and civilized driving knowledge test subjects in the motor vehicle driver's examination. The content of the road driving skills test varies for different permitted driving models. Road driving skills: Preparation before starting: The examinee must follow the safety officer's instructions, approach the vehicle body, walk around the vehicle (from the front left door to the rear), confirm safety, and then open the door to get in. After getting in, upon hearing the voice prompt "Please prepare for the exam and perform fingerprint verification," first adjust the seat to a suitable position, adjust the interior and exterior rearview mirrors, and fasten the seat belt. Then perform fingerprint verification. The fingerprint scanner is located below the left air vent on the steering wheel.
I remember during my driving test for Subject 3, I didn't press the brake when starting the car, causing it to roll slightly, and the examiner deducted points immediately. At that time, I thought it was a minor issue, but later I learned that you must press the brake when starting to stabilize the vehicle and prevent unintended movement. According to the test rules, this falls under "failure to use the braking device as required," and deductions are usually based on several aspects, such as exceeding the standard rolling distance or improper operation. For automatic transmission cars, you should also press the brake before starting to prevent forward sliding; for manual transmission, coordination with the clutch is even more crucial. I recommend new drivers practice more during training to develop safe habits—safety comes first. Looking back now, that deduction made me pay more attention to safety details in daily driving, such as checking the surroundings before starting and ensuring a smooth launch.
