You cannot take Subject Four if you failed Subject Three. Introduction to Subject Three: Subject Three, which includes the road driving skills test and the safe and civilized driving knowledge test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. It is the abbreviation for the road driving skills and safe and civilized driving knowledge test subjects in the motor vehicle driver's examination. Introduction to Subject Four: Subject Four, also known as the safe and civilized driving knowledge test of Subject Three, or the Subject Four theoretical test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. The Subject Three test is divided into two parts: in addition to the road test, there is an added safe and civilized knowledge test, commonly known as "Subject Four," which assesses "driving ethics."

I remember last year when I took the driving test, I failed the road test (Subject 3) and felt really frustrated. I originally thought Subject 4 was the theoretical exam and assumed I could take it right after Subject 3, but the driving instructor directly said no—I had to pass Subject 3 first before registering for Subject 4. I was a bit confused at the time and had no choice but to reschedule a retake for Subject 3. The rule makes sense—the road test requires real driving skills, and only after passing it can you learn the safety and civics knowledge in Subject 4, which sticks better. Skipping Subject 3 and jumping straight to theory would make it easier to have accidents on the road. Later, I practiced driving for a few more weeks, paid attention to details, and finally passed the retake. Looking back now, the order of the driving tests really can’t be messed with—you have to take it step by step. Don’t be discouraged by failure; adjust your mindset, practice more, and the next opportunity is waiting.

I've seen this situation many times while assisting students at the driving school. People often ask if they can take the subject 4 test without passing subject 3. The rules are clear: subject 1 is the theoretical test, subject 2 is the field test, subject 3 is the road test, and subject 4 is the safety test. The sequence cannot be skipped. If you fail subject 3, you must first retake and pass subject 3 before you can register for subject 4. Why? The road test evaluates real driving skills, and only after completing subject 4's theory can you combine it with practical experience to learn more safely and efficiently. Many people are eager to get their license quickly and want to skip steps, but safety comes first. I recommend you immediately schedule a retake for subject 3, use the time to review more mock questions, and strengthen your road test practice. Don't be discouraged if you fail once—I've seen students succeed only after two or three retakes. Once you feel confident, schedule subject 4 and get your license steadily.

Is it necessary to purchase auto theft insurance for sedans?

Theft insurance can be purchased based on individual needs. If the vehicle itself is of high value and has excellent anti-theft technology, it is generally not necessary to buy. The following three types of car owners are usually advised to purchase theft insurance: 1. New car owners, as stolen vehicles are often dismantled and sold, resulting in significant losses even if recovered; 2. Owners who do not have a fixed garage or frequently travel on business, usually parking in open parking lots or older residential areas without surveillance; 3.
