Will you be penalized for stopping halfway during a U-turn in Subject 3?

Stopping halfway during a U-turn in Subject 3 will result in penalties. Here are specific details about Subject 3: 1. Introduction: Subject 3 is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment, referred to as the road driving skills and safe civilized driving knowledge test. 2. Content: The road driving skills test generally includes: vehicle preparation, light simulation test, starting, driving straight, gear shifting operations, lane changing, pulling over, driving straight through intersections, turning at intersections, meeting vehicles, overtaking, U-turns, night driving, etc. The test content varies for different types of vehicles. 3. Test content: Safe civilized driving operation requirements, safe driving knowledge under adverse weather and complex road conditions, and post-accident handling knowledge, etc.
I've taught many people to get their driver's license before. Stopping halfway during a U-turn in Subject 3 usually results in points deduction because the test requires the maneuver to be completed in one smooth motion. Stopping midway may be considered as discontinuous operation or improper parking, and a deduction of around 10 points is quite common. The test is designed to simulate real road conditions, and stopping halfway can disrupt traffic flow. It may also lead to additional deductions due to positional deviations, such as wheels crossing the line. During practice, I emphasize slowing down and observing before making a U-turn, ensuring the surroundings are safe, and then completing the turn continuously to avoid sudden interruptions. The most common mistake beginners make is being too anxious—stopping when there's too much traffic. This requires more practice on simulated road sections to improve driving rhythm.
