Can I practice driving without passing Subject 1?

You can practice driving without taking the Subject 1 exam. Here are the relevant details about the Subject 1 exam: Subject 1 Retake Requirements: On the day of the Subject 1 exam, you can take it twice. If you fail the first attempt, you can retake it for free the second time. If you still fail the second attempt, the Subject 1 exam will be terminated, and you can only reschedule it after 10 days. There is no limit to the number of times you can take the Subject 1 theoretical exam. If you fail, you can reschedule until you pass. Subject 1 Scheduling Method: Open the Traffic Management 12123 app and enter the homepage. Click "More" to find "Driver's License Business." Select "Exam Appointment" and follow the app's instructions to schedule. If you need to cancel an exam appointment, click "Cancel Exam Appointment" to proceed.

I've worked at a driving school for over a decade. Without passing Subject 1, you cannot proceed to practical training. The driving school's regulation is clear: you must first pass the Subject 1 theory exam before starting Subject 2 training. This is because Subject 1 covers traffic rules, signal identification, and safety awareness. Driving without mastering these can lead to problems, such as misreading signs and causing accidents. I often see some students eager to practice driving but get turned down by instructors, sometimes even facing fines. I recommend you quickly go through the questions on the Driving Test Treasure APP and take several mock exams. Theoretically, the system will lock your profile, and the driving school platform won't allow registration for practical training. After passing the exam and signing for a learner's permit, you can start driving practice safely and compliantly. Remember, don't listen to anyone who suggests practicing secretly—getting caught not only harms yourself but also affects your credibility.

I just got my driver's license recently. I remember before passing the subject one test, I really wanted to get in the car and play with the steering wheel, but the driving school directly said no touching the car. The reason is simple: subject one covers road rules, driving without learning them is like the blind men trying to size up an elephant - if something happens, it could be terrible. At that time, I spent all day practicing questions, using the driving test app to do mock exams, and passed in about two weeks. Some fellow driving students said small driving schools might tacitly allow secret practice, but if caught, you could be fined and have points deducted. It's best to focus on theory first - after passing, your practical driving progress will be faster. Don't rush, the learning process itself is a kind of accumulation. Safety comes first, don't gamble with your life.

From my perspective, practicing driving without passing Subject One is absolutely not allowed, as it would be too dangerous. A friend of mine once tried driving without any theoretical knowledge and ended up rear-ending a tree on a narrow road—fortunately, no one was hurt. Subject One teaches you the basics like traffic lights and right-of-way rules. Without these fundamentals, driving would feel uncertain. Driving schools usually have you study at home first, either by doing exercises or watching videos. Nowadays, many apps offer free question banks—just go through them a few times and you'll remember. Don’t look for shortcuts; it’s much safer to focus on passing Subject One before practicing driving. Stay patient and think about long-term safety.
