Can I retake Subject 2 on the spot?
2 Answers
According to the 'Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses', if you fail the exam, you can retake Subject 2 on the spot. Relevant information: There are two chances for the exam: Driving license exams generally follow the principle of 'one exam with one retake', meaning each exam session provides two opportunities. If you fail the exam, after the staff adjust the equipment, you can take the exam again. If you fail both attempts, the exam session will end, and you will need to reschedule. Rescheduling: If you still fail the retake, you must wait 10 days before rescheduling. It's important to note that being able to reschedule after 10 days doesn't mean you can start the exam immediately; you will have to wait in line again. If your rescheduled time is late and there are many local candidates, the chance of successfully rescheduling in a short time may be lower than for candidates who didn't succeed in the previous exam.
I remember sweating nervously during my driving test for Subject 2, and I failed the first attempt at reverse parking because I didn't stop the car steadily. Someone immediately reminded me that I could apply for a retest, so I hurried to the service desk to fill out a form and queued up again for another try. Some test centers have this arrangement—if there's time on the same day, you can retake the test for free or at a small cost. However, don’t expect it to always go smoothly; if you fail the retest, you’ll have to wait ten days or more to reschedule. I think practicing mock tests more is the reliable way, otherwise, you won’t feel confident. Looking back now, the biggest fear in the field test is losing composure—staying calm is the key to passing. It’s best to practice driving during peak hours to experience real pressure.
