Can I Practice for Driving Test Subject 3 After Losing 24 Points?

You need to retake Subject 3. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," if you accumulate 12 penalty points in a single scoring cycle, your driving license will be temporarily suspended, and you must retake Subject 1. If you accumulate 24 penalty points, after passing the Subject 1 test, you must also retake Subject 3 within 10 days. Below is relevant information: Introduction: Subject 3, which includes the road driving skills test and the safe and civilized driving knowledge test, is part of the motor vehicle driving license assessment. It is the abbreviated term for the road driving skills and safe and civilized driving knowledge test in the motor vehicle driver's examination. The content of the road driving skills test varies depending on the type of vehicle. Subject 3 includes the following test items: vehicle preparation, simulated lighting test, starting, driving in a straight line, gear shifting operations, changing lanes, pulling over, driving straight through intersections, turning left at intersections, turning right at intersections, passing pedestrian crossings, passing school zones, passing bus stops, meeting oncoming vehicles, overtaking, making U-turns, and nighttime driving—totaling 16 items.
The total score for the Subject 3 driving test is 100 points, with a passing score of 90. If you lose 24 points, you will definitely fail and have to retake the test, so practice must continue. I have experienced several test failures, and each time I failed, I had to return to the driving school for additional training. The instructor would focus on strengthening the areas where I lost points, such as points deducted for always hitting the line during reverse parking. This kind of practice is not just for passing the test but also for improving real driving skills to avoid accidents on the road. Remember, losing more than 10 points during the test means you fail, and 24 points indicate a serious problem. I suggest spending more time familiarizing yourself with the test route to reduce operational errors. Don’t be discouraged; with more practice, you will definitely pass.
