Can I Take Subject 3 Before Subject 2 Now?
2 Answers
It is possible to take Subject 3 before Subject 2 in the driver's license test. According to Article 36 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses": After passing Subject 1, applicants can schedule either Subject 2 or Subject 3 road driving skills test. Below are the relevant details: 1. Nature: Subject 3 includes the road driving skills test and the safety and civilized driving knowledge test, which are part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. It is the abbreviation for the road driving skills and safety and civilized driving knowledge test subjects in the motor vehicle driver's test. The content of the road driving skills test varies for different types of vehicles. 2. Road Driving Skills Test: Preparation before driving, simulated light test, starting, driving straight, shifting gears, changing lanes, parking by the roadside, going straight through intersections, turning left at intersections, turning right at intersections, crossing pedestrian crossings, passing school zones, passing bus stops, meeting vehicles, overtaking, making U-turns, and driving at night. 3. Safety and Civilized Driving Knowledge Test: Requirements for safe and civilized driving operations, safe driving knowledge under adverse weather and complex road conditions, emergency handling methods for situations such as tire blowouts, and knowledge of post-accident handling procedures.
I just got my driver's license recently, and the entire exam process must be followed step by step: first take Subject 1 (theory), then Subject 2 (closed-course), and finally Subject 3 (road test). There's absolutely no skipping Subject 2 to directly take Subject 3—this rule is uniformly enforced nationwide, and driving schools would never allow it. Subject 2 covers basic maneuvers like reverse parking and parallel parking. Without this foundation, attempting the road test could lead to danger in no time. When I was practicing, I saw some students try to apply for taking the tests in reverse order, but they were rejected. The instructor said the sequence is a safety prerequisite, as Subject 3 involves real traffic and carries higher risks. It's best to follow the steps diligently—it saves time and ensures a smooth pass. Don’t think about shortcuts; preparing properly for each stage is the most reliable approach.
