Waiting for the Exam

1. Assemble at the designated location and use your ID card to receive the exam number plate.

2. Go to the second floor and use your ID card for identity verification. The following requirements apply:

• Hats are not allowed.
• Masks are not allowed.
• Photochromic glasses are not allowed.
• Your chin must be fully visible.

If the ID card cannot be read successfully, wait patiently for manual verification.

3. Enter the waiting hall and wait for your name to be called.

4. After your name is called, go downstairs and take the shuttle bus to the exam waiting area. Store your phone in the electronic lockers at the back and wait patiently for your name to be called again. This may take quite a long time.

5. After your name is called, get into the vehicle and adjust the seat properly. When ready, state your name and the last four digits of your ID number, then look at the camera in front of you.

6. After facial recognition is completed in the driver’s seat, you are no longer allowed to speak.

I. Pre-Driving Preparation

1. When you hear the voice prompt “Identity verification successful. Please get into the vehicle and begin the exam,” wait until you hear the word “exam,” then get out of the vehicle. Starting from the driver’s side, walk counterclockwise around the vehicle to the right rear inspection point. Press and hold the button until you hear “passed the rear of the vehicle,” then release it.

2. Continue counterclockwise to the left front inspection point. Press and hold the button until you hear “passed the front of the vehicle,” then release it.

3. Continue counterclockwise back to the driver’s seat, then get into the vehicle for the second time.

4. After getting into the vehicle, adjust the seat and rear-view mirrors according to your own driving habits, check the instrument panel, and finally fasten the seat belt. Press the brake pedal and start the engine. The pre-driving preparation item is then complete.

II. Simulated Lighting Operation

The lighting controls in the exam vehicle are as follows:

• Turn the vehicle lights on and off

• Switch between high beam and low beam: pull the lever backward to switch to high beam; return it to the normal position to switch back to low beam.

• Hazard warning lights

After the voice prompt begins, the candidate must perform the corresponding simulated nighttime-lighting operation within 5 seconds.

Seven items will be selected randomly from the following:

1. Please turn on the headlights — low beam
2. Driving at night on a road with no lighting or poor lighting — high beam
3. Driving at night on a well-lit road — low beam
4. Passing through an intersection without traffic lights at night — alternate high and low beams
5. Passing over an arch bridge at night — alternate high and low beams
6. Passing a pedestrian crossing at night — alternate high and low beams
7. Passing a slope at night — alternate high and low beams
8. Driving at night under poor lighting conditions with no streetlights — high beam
9. Meeting a non-motor vehicle on a narrow road at night — low beam
10. Passing a sharp bend at night — alternate high and low beams
11. Meeting an oncoming vehicle at night — low beam
12. Following another vehicle at close distance in the same direction at night — low beam
13. Please switch the headlights to high beam — high beam
14. Overtaking the vehicle ahead at night — alternate high and low beams
15. Temporary roadside parking at night — position lights + hazard warning lights
16. Turn off all lights

---

Notes:

• Perform the corresponding action within 5 seconds. Exceeding the time limit deducts 100 points.
• Incorrect use of high beam deducts 5 points; failing to perform the action deducts 100 points.
• When alternating high and low beams, operate the lever at an even pace.
• The lighting questions are randomly selected.
• If the headlights are still on high beam before the “turn off all lights” instruction, you may directly turn the rotary switch to the off position. There is no need to operate the stalk.
