Can I Take Subject Four If I Failed Subject Three?
2 Answers
Subject Four cannot be taken if Subject Three is failed. Examination process for Subject Three: Subject Three is a road driving skills test. The examination process includes identity verification, vehicle inspection, seat adjustment, checking if gears, handbrake, and lights are reset, adjusting mirrors and fastening seat belts, simulated night driving test, starting, gear shifting, lane changing, and parking. Examination content for Subject Four: Subject Four is a theoretical knowledge test on road driving. It covers safe and civilized driving requirements in traffic accidents, safe driving knowledge under adverse weather conditions, emergency handling methods for sudden incidents like tire blowouts, and post-accident handling knowledge.
I failed my driving test (Subject 3) last time and anxiously asked my instructor if I could skip to Subject 4. Got a cold shower in response. According to regulations, you must pass the road test before taking the theoretical Subject 4—the system won't even allow registration otherwise. I checked online policies, and many places enforce this sequential requirement. Failing means retaking; I'm now practicing an extra hour daily, but the retest is 10 days away, which feels frustrating. Honestly, failing Subject 3 means lacking practical skills—passing Subject 4's theory alone would be useless book knowledge, just wasting attempts. My advice to fellow strugglers: calmly analyze failures, avoid rushed registrations, and stay relaxed for the next road test to pass.
