Can I Get My License Right After Passing Subject Three?
3 Answers
After passing Subject Three, you still need to take Subject Four before you can obtain your driver's license. Here is some additional information: Introduction: The content and passing standards for the driver's license examination are uniform nationwide. The test is divided into three subjects and four examinations: theoretical knowledge, field driving skills, road driving skills, and safety and civilized driving knowledge. Subject Four: Subject Four is a safety knowledge test conducted after the practical road driving test of 'Subject Three,' further assessing the candidate's level of traffic awareness. The total test duration is 45 minutes, with a full score of 100 points, and a passing score of 90 or above. Those who fail can retake the test after an interval of 10 days. Content: The test covers safe and civilized driving operation requirements, safe driving knowledge under adverse weather and complex road conditions, emergency handling methods for situations like tire blowouts, and post-traffic accident handling knowledge.
I just passed my driving test recently. After finishing the road test (Subject 3), I thought I could get my license immediately, but my instructor reminded me that I still needed to pass the theoretical exam (Subject 4) on safe and civilized driving. You don’t get your license right after Subject 3; you must also pass the Subject 4 safety and civilization driving test, and your results need to be reviewed before you can receive your license. The waiting time usually ranges from 1 to 10 days, depending on the location: in Beijing, it took me two days, while a friend in a small county got theirs the same day. In busier areas, it might take up to a week due to queues. Don’t rush the process, and never drive without a license before receiving it—you could face fines and penalty points. Safety comes first. After completing Subject 3, start reviewing the Subject 4 materials right away to finish everything in one go—it’s both efficient and hassle-free.
I just finished my Subject 3 driving test last week and was really excited right after, but was immediately notified to take Subject 4. Turns out the license doesn't automatically come; you need to complete the Subject 4 computer test first and have your results confirmed before getting it. I waited three days and saw the 'license production completed' message on the 12123 App. Just bring your ID when picking it up at the DMV. Processing times vary by location, so it's best to check with your driving school about arrangements beforehand, unlike me who waited foolishly.
