Can I drive after passing the fourth subject test?
2 Answers
Of course not. If you have passed the fourth subject test but have not yet obtained your driver's license, driving on the road will be considered unlicensed driving. According to Article 19 of the Road Traffic Safety Law and related regulations, unlicensed driving is a serious traffic violation. You cannot drive without a driver's license. Otherwise, it will be treated as unlicensed driving. You can drive only after obtaining your driver's license. Without a license, you are not allowed to drive. If you are caught driving on the road, it will be considered unlicensed driving. Only after obtaining a personal driver's license can you officially qualify to drive. Driving immediately after passing the driving test without a license also constitutes unlicensed driving. Additionally, during the one-year probation period after obtaining the license, driving on highways should be accompanied by a driver who has held a license for more than three years.
From a legal perspective, it's crucial to understand that you cannot drive immediately after passing the subject four test. Passing the subject four exam does not mean you can legally drive right away; you must wait for the traffic management department to officially issue your driver's license, which usually takes a few days to a week. If you drive without a license during this period and get caught, it can lead to serious trouble, including fines, penalty points, and even affect the approval of your license. I've personally encountered cases where people, overly excited after passing, thought no one would check and drove anyway, only to be caught by surveillance. After obtaining your license, as a new driver, you should also pay attention to the one-year probation period regulations, such as avoiding driving alone on highways. In short, safety comes first—after the exam, patiently wait for the notification and resist the urge to get behind the wheel prematurely to avoid unnecessary consequences.
