You cannot retake the Driving Test Subject 3 in your hometown. Here are the specific details: 1. Driver's License Test: The driver's license test is an examination to obtain a motor vehicle driver's license. The content and passing standards of the test subjects are uniformly regulated nationwide. The test is divided into three subjects and four tests: theoretical knowledge, field driving skills, road driving skills, and safety and civilized driving knowledge. 2. Basic Process: Filling out forms, physical examination, application acceptance, payment, examination, and certificate issuance. The content and passing standards of the test subjects are uniformly regulated nationwide. The test sequence follows Subject 1, Subject 2, Subject 3, and Subject 4 in order. Only after passing the previous subject test can you proceed to the next subject test.
A friend of mine failed the third driving test in Shenzhen last year and decided to retake it in his hometown, Sichuan. The process was straightforward. First, he obtained a certificate from the driving school in Shenzhen to confirm his test records and failed status. Then, he completed a transfer procedure at the local vehicle management office, paying a small fee of a few dozen yuan. After receiving his records, he re-registered at the vehicle management office in his hometown, bringing along his ID card, household registration booklet, and some old documents. Scheduling the test was much easier there. The staff in his hometown were more friendly, and the waiting time was shorter—he passed on his first try. I think the advantage of this approach is the familiar environment and reduced pressure, but it’s important to note that the local vehicle management office might have special requirements, such as prioritizing local residents. It’s advisable to check the hometown’s policies online or call ahead to confirm, so as not to waste time. In short, retaking the test in your hometown is entirely feasible—don’t overthink it, just get prepared.
