Can I Take Subject Three Before Passing Subject Two?
3 Answers
You can take the Subject Three of the car driving license test before passing Subject Two. The C1 test subjects include four items: traffic regulations and related knowledge, field driving, road driving, and safe and civilized driving knowledge. C1 driving license test passing standards: Traffic regulations and related knowledge (Subject One) – Written test, full score is 100, passing score is 90 or above. Field driving (Subject Two) – On-site, actual vehicle. The minimum requirement is 80 points, below 80 is a fail. Road driving (Subject Three) – Highway or simulated site, actual vehicle. Full score is 100, must achieve 90 or above to pass. Safe and civilized driving knowledge – Written test, questions mainly in the form of cases, pictures, animations, etc., question types include true/false, single-choice, and multiple-choice, total of 50 questions, full score is 100, passing score is 90. C1 application age: The minimum age limit for a C1 driver's license is 18 years old, with no upper limit. However, applicants aged 70 and above must pass tests on memory, judgment ability, reaction ability, etc.
Last year when I was taking the driver's license test, I failed the subject two (driving skills test) twice and was quite anxious. I wondered if I could take subject three (road test) first, but my instructor told me it must be done in order. The driver's license test consists of four subjects, starting with subject one (theoretical test), followed by subject two (driving skills test). Only after passing subject two can you register for subject three (road test). If you fail subject two, it means you haven't mastered the basic driving skills, and taking subject three directly would be both against the rules and dangerous, as driving on the road without a foundation could easily lead to accidents. After failing, you have to wait about seven days to retake subject two. At that time, I practiced parallel parking and reverse parking more, strengthened my weak points, and eventually passed smoothly. My advice to those who fail is not to lose heart—focus on practicing the test content and pass each step solidly, which is safer and more effective.
As someone who has been driving for years, I've noticed that many people who fail the subject two test want to skip ahead and take subject three first, but this is absolutely not allowed. The driver's license rules are designed meticulously. Subject two is the basic field test, including tasks like hill starts and right-angle turns, which must be passed before moving on to the road test in subject three. Failing subject two indicates insufficient basic control skills, and attempting the road test directly not only violates regulations but also increases the risk of accidents. When retaking the test, it's important to reassess your weaknesses and practice more until you're proficient. The entire process emphasizes safety first. I recommend calmly analyzing your mistakes after each failure and undergoing targeted training for a few days to improve. The key is not to skip steps—follow the sequence to ensure all candidates master the core skills before hitting the road.
