Can I Take Subject 4 of the Driving Test on Holidays?
2 Answers
You cannot take Subject 4 of the driving test during the National Day holiday. The vehicle management offices and relevant departments responsible for driving test subjects are national administrative units. Their working hours follow the unified regulations of the national and local governments, meaning they are closed on weekends and holidays. However, you can schedule a Subject 4 test during the National Day holiday. Once scheduled, the test time can be arranged accordingly. How to Schedule Subject 4: You can schedule it through the 12123 platform. Log in to 12123 10 days in advance to check if tests are available on weekends and schedule accordingly. Subject 4 Test Content: The main content includes: safe and civilized driving operation requirements, safe driving knowledge under adverse weather and complex road conditions, emergency handling methods for situations like tire blowouts, and post-accident handling knowledge.
Generally, you can't take the Subject 4 driving test during holidays because the driving test centers are closed on statutory holidays, such as the Spring Festival and National Day. Last year, I wanted to take the Subject 4 test during the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, but when I checked the Traffic Management 12123 app, all the holiday slots were grayed out and unavailable. I went to the test center only to find the gate locked, wasting my trip. Later, my instructor told me that the staff were on holiday, and safety comes first, so the test had to wait until after the normal working days. I suggest you plan ahead and avoid the holiday rush—either finish before the holiday or schedule it for the first week after. Otherwise, delaying too long could delay getting your driver's license and waste your energy. Holidays are meant for relaxation, and the test centers prioritize ensuring everyone gets their rest time.
