Can I still take the driving test subject one if I'm late?

You can still take the driving test subject one if you're late. Notes for the subject one theory test: After entering the examination room, candidates should sit at the designated computer station as instructed by the invigilator. Candidates need to input their ID information, and after verification and confirmation, click the start button to begin the test. If any computer system issues arise during the test, raise your hand to signal the invigilator for assistance. Do not press the submit button during the test. After completing the questions, click the submit button twice to end the test, and the system will display your score. Scope of the subject one test: Road traffic safety laws, regulations, and rules; traffic signals and their meanings; safe driving and civilized driving knowledge; safe driving knowledge for highways, mountainous roads, bridges, tunnels, night driving, adverse weather, and complex road conditions; emergency handling knowledge for situations like tire blowouts, steering failure, and brake failure; general structure of motor vehicles, basic knowledge of main safety devices, and routine inspection and maintenance.
I was once late for my subject one test. The rule at the test center was that you could enter within 15 minutes of being late because there was a buffer time after the test started. The staff would record your lateness, but it wouldn't affect your normal test-taking. If you were more than 20 minutes late or even later, you might not be allowed in and would have to reschedule the test, which would waste time and energy. That time, I was 10 minutes late due to traffic and was let in, and I passed the test smoothly. So don’t take it lightly. It’s recommended to arrive at the test center half an hour early, check the route to avoid peak hours, and bring all the necessary documents. The test content hasn’t changed, but being late can make you nervous and affect your performance. Remember, rules vary by test center—some are strict, some are lenient—so it’s best to confirm beforehand through an app or the official website.
