After Drunk Driving, Is It Subject One or Subject Four That Needs to Be Retaken?

After drunk driving, it is Subject One that needs to be retaken. Within 15 working days after the traffic police issue the penalty decision, you must complete the full-score education. After finishing the education, you can schedule the Subject One exam within 20 working days. Content of the Subject One retest after drunk driving: Basic knowledge of motor vehicles; laws, regulations, and road traffic signals; basics of safe and civilized driving; fundamental knowledge related to motor vehicle driving operations. Process for retaking Subject One after drunk driving: After paying the fine and completing the full-score education, you can schedule the Subject One exam at the vehicle management office. You can choose to schedule the exam on-site or online. For on-site scheduling, after completing the full-score education, you can directly go to the window for scheduling the Subject One exam at the vehicle management office and have the staff assist you in registering for the exam. For online scheduling, you can log in to the "Traffic Safety Comprehensive Service Management Platform," select the issuing location of your driver's license, and log in with your driver's license information. Under the driver's license services, choose "Local Exam Scheduling" or "Non-local Exam Scheduling" and follow the prompts to complete the scheduling.
After my last drunk driving incident, I finally understood the whole process. First, you're required to attend a 7-day mandatory traffic regulation course, followed by retaking the written test (Subject One). Passing that means you'll have to retake the safety driving test (Subject Four) at a designated location, but you might have to wait up to half a year for that chance. If it's a DUI case, things get even tougher – no driving for five years. My advice: take some refresher courses at a driving school before the test, as the questions are much harder now than when we got our licenses. Remember to bring your ID and temporary seizure receipt, and most importantly, stay away from alcohol before the test. Safe driving is what really matters.
