Can a Temporary ID Card Be Used for the Written Driving Test (Subject 1)?
1 Answers
A temporary ID card can be used for the test. The admission ticket and other documents are handled by the driving school, which will distribute them during the test. Electronic ID cards are not accepted for the test. If you don't have an ID card, you can apply for a temporary one, which holds the same validity as a regular ID card. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," you can take the Subject 1 test twice on the same day. If you fail the first attempt, you can retake it for free. If you fail the second attempt, the Subject 1 test ends, and you can only reschedule after ten days. The Subject 1 test consists of 100 questions, including single-choice and true/false questions, each worth 1 point, totaling 100 points. If you answer 11 questions incorrectly, the system will automatically submit the test and end the session. The Subject 1 test is computer-based and lasts 45 minutes. The content of the Subject 1 test includes: regulations on driving licenses and motor vehicle management; road traffic conditions and rules; traffic safety violations and penalties; regulations on road traffic accident handling; basic knowledge of motor vehicles; local regulations; knowledge of braking systems and safety devices for large and medium-sized passenger and freight vehicles; specialized knowledge for wheeled self-propelled machinery, trams, and trolleybuses. Notes for the Subject 1 test: Candidates should dress appropriately—no slippers are allowed. Electronic devices and bags are prohibited in the examination room. Bring your ID card and queue to enter the waiting hall. Observe the instructions and procedures on the large screen, and store personal belongings in lockers before entering the examination room. At the identity verification station, you will be assigned a seat. Once seated, begin the test, ensuring the camera is aligned with you and adhering to test discipline. If you fail the first attempt, you can retake it the same day. If you fail again, you must pay to reschedule. After the test, queue to collect your score report and sign it. Failure to sign renders the result invalid. There is no limit to the number of times you can reschedule the Subject 1 test. Each subject can be taken once, with one retake allowed if you fail. If you skip the retake or fail it, the test ends, and you must reschedule. For Subject 2 and Subject 3, you only have five attempts. Subject 2 and Subject 3 tests can be rescheduled after ten days. If you fail the Subject 3 safe driving knowledge test, your previously passed road driving skills test results remain valid. The driving test consists of three subjects: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3. Subject 1 covers laws, regulations, and knowledge related to road traffic safety. Subject 2 is the field driving skills test. Subject 3 includes two parts: road driving skills and safe driving knowledge. The safe driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject 3, so it is commonly referred to as Subject 4, though the official regulations (Ministry of Public Security Order No. 123) do not use this term.
