Can I start practicing driving only after passing Subject 1?

Yes, you can only start practicing driving after passing the Subject 1 exam. Subject 1 is a theoretical test, and only after passing it can you proceed to Subject 2, which is the small road test, and Subject 3, the big road test. Both require practice at a driving school. Here is some related information: 1. Subject 1: Also known as the Subject 1 theory test or driver theory test, it is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," the test covers driving theory basics, road safety laws and regulations, local regulations, and other related knowledge. The test is computer-based, consisting of 100 questions, with a passing score of 90 or above. 2. Basic overview: Subject 1 is part of the teaching and examination outline for motor vehicle driver training. This outline divides the examination into three subjects, organized by the traffic management department of the public security authorities. The examination sequence follows Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3 in order. Only after passing the previous subject can you proceed to the next one.
From my years of experience teaching at driving schools, formal driving practice can only begin after passing Subject 1 (theoretical test). This is a regulation set by traffic management authorities to ensure students understand traffic rules before operating vehicles safely. Some driving schools may allow students to familiarize themselves with basic vehicle operations like simulated starting and parking in training grounds before the Subject 1 exam, but this doesn't count as formal practice. Practicing on roads or training grounds without passing Subject 1 may violate regulations and increase accident risks. I recommend students focus first on passing the theoretical test before scheduling practical lessons. This approach not only saves time but also makes subsequent driving training smoother, as understanding the theory builds confidence during practical operations.
