Can I Take Subject Four Without Passing Subject Two?

You cannot take Subject Four without passing Subject Two. The examination sequence follows Subject One, Subject Two, Subject Three, and Subject Four in order. Only after passing the previous subject can you proceed to the next one. Applicants for a motor vehicle driver's license must pass the following four subjects: Subject One (Road Traffic Safety Laws, Regulations, and Related Knowledge), Subject Two (Field Driving Skills), Subject Three (Road Driving Skills), and Subject Four (Safe and Civilized Driving Knowledge). Subject Two, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. It is the abbreviation for the Field Driving Skills test. For the C1 license, the test items include five mandatory components: reverse parking, parallel parking, hill start and stop, right-angle turns, and curve driving (commonly known as the S-curve). In some regions, there is a sixth item: highway toll card collection. For the C2 license, the test items include four mandatory components: reverse parking, parallel parking, right-angle turns, and curve driving (S-curve). For large vehicles (A1, A2, A3, B1, B2), the test items include pole parking, hill start and stop, parallel parking, single-plank bridge crossing, curve driving, right-angle turns, narrow gate passage, continuous obstacle passage, bumpy road driving, narrow road U-turns, and simulations for highways, continuous sharp mountain turns, tunnels, rain/fog conditions, slippery roads, and emergency handling. Subject Two is scored out of 100, with evaluation criteria for failing, deducting 20 points, deducting 10 points, or deducting 5 points. The passing standards are as follows: For large passenger vehicles, tractors, city buses, medium-sized passenger vehicles, and large trucks, a score of 90 or above is required. For other vehicle types, a score of 80 or above is required.
From the perspective of a veteran driving test candidate, failing Subject 2 really means you can't directly take Subject 4. Last year when I accompanied my cousin for driving practice, I deeply understood this fixed exam sequence: you must pass Subject 1 first, complete Subject 2 before touching Subject 3, and only after passing Subject 3 can you qualify for Subject 4. If you fail Subject 2, the system directly locks the booking function for subsequent tests, just like being stuck at a game level that must be cleared. Like when my cousin failed last time by crossing the line during reversing, he had to focus solely on retraining Subject 2. After two extra weeks of practice with the coach, specifically on reversing into the garage and hill starts, he passed the retest and continued the process. Now with the new rules shortening retest intervals, don't lose heart - concentrating on overcoming weaknesses is the most reliable approach.
