Are the Kilometers for Subject Two and Subject Three Counted Together?
2 Answers
The kilometers for Subject Two and Subject Three are not counted together. Subject Two is a field test, mainly consisting of five items, and does not involve kilometers. Subject Three is a road test, which has kilometer requirements. However, the new "Outline" states that each province should set relevant requirements for the training mileage of various license types based on actual conditions, but the minimum should not be less than 300 kilometers. The class hours mentioned in the new "Outline" refer to the basic class hour requirements for each vehicle type. If additional test content and items are required, corresponding class hours should be increased. Below are the new regulations: 1. Subject Two and Subject Three can be taken together: The new regulations also stipulate that "Safe and Civilized Driving Knowledge" teaching should be integrated with "Road Driving" teaching; "Basic and Field Driving" and "Road Driving" can be trained alternately. This means that students can combine theoretical learning with practical driving practice, integrating Subject Two and Subject Three. This approach not only saves time but also reduces the cost of the driving test. 2. Class Hours: Additionally, "Road Traffic Safety Laws, Regulations, and Related Knowledge" and "Safe and Civilized Driving Knowledge" teaching can be conducted through multimedia teaching, remote online teaching, traffic safety experiences, and other methods, with classroom teaching not less than 6 class hours.
I remember being curious about whether the mileage for Subject 2 and Subject 3 was counted together when I was learning to drive. Based on my experience and the driving school's regulations, they are usually not counted together. Subject 2 involves practicing maneuvers like reversing in a parking space, and the mileage is generally low—just a few laps might suffice. Subject 3, however, requires actual road driving and must accumulate a certain mileage, such as 30 kilometers, to meet the standard. The reason they are counted separately is due to the different training content: Subject 2 focuses on basic vehicle control, while Subject 3 simulates real driving to reduce risks. Back at my driving school, the instructor recorded the odometer readings separately and recommended practicing Subject 3 more to get familiar with lane changes and checking mirrors. In short, don’t skip steps—take it one step at a time to pass safely.
