Can I drive without obtaining the license after passing Subject 4?
2 Answers
No, driving without obtaining the license is considered unlicensed driving, which is illegal. According to traffic laws, driving a motor vehicle without obtaining a motor vehicle driving license, or while the license is revoked or temporarily suspended, or allowing someone without a valid license to drive, will result in a fine ranging from 200 to 2,000 yuan by the traffic management department of the public security authority, and may also lead to detention for up to 15 days. However, generally, after passing Subject 4, the license is issued on the spot, usually within about 2 hours. Subject 4, also known as the theoretical test or driver's theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driving license examination. The main content includes: safe and civilized driving requirements, safe driving knowledge under adverse weather and complex road conditions, emergency handling methods for situations like tire blowouts, and post-accident handling knowledge. The Subject 4 test consists of 50 questions, primarily in the form of case studies, pictures, and animations, with a full score of 100 and a passing score of 90.
Just passed the subject four exam and waiting for the license? You can't drive yet. My buddy impulsively drove once last year, got caught by traffic police, fined 500 yuan and almost got into serious trouble. Reminder: legally, no license means no driving. Passing the exam doesn’t mean you have the license in hand. Subject four is the final step, but processing the license takes time. Driving during this period counts as unlicensed driving—high fines, no accident coverage, and it affects future steps. Better wait a few days. Once the license arrives, drive with peace of mind—it’s much safer, especially with heavy traffic and unpredictable situations on the road.
