No points will be deducted if the turn signal falls off during Subject 3 and is immediately reattached. Below is additional information on the content of the Subject 3 driving test: Starting: Vehicle preparation, starting, and driving straight after starting. Speed control: Performing gear shifting operations, changing lanes, and pulling over to park. Turning: Driving straight through intersections, making left turns at intersections, and making right turns at intersections. Passing designated areas: Passing pedestrian crossings, school zones, and bus stops. Vehicle control: Meeting oncoming vehicles, overtaking, making U-turns, and driving at night.
I just passed my driving test (Subject 3) recently and have deep feelings about this issue. During training, my instructor repeatedly emphasized the importance of turn signals - if it turns off accidentally, you must immediately reactivate it to avoid point deductions. I experienced the turn signal automatically switching off twice during my exam, but each time I quickly reactivated it, and the examiner didn't comment. The key is to maintain smooth and natural movements without hesitation or panic. After reactivating the turn signal, remember to keep it on for at least 3 seconds before making your turn, otherwise you'll get penalized directly. Develop the habit of checking turn signal status during practice, and use your fingertip to gently hold the lever to prevent it from slipping off. Although the exam rules are strict, as long as you react quickly and operate correctly, timely correction of the turn signal is completely feasible.
