Can I Take Subject Three if I Failed Subject Two When Booking Both Together?

You can take Subject Three before passing Subject Two. According to the 'Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses': Article 36 The vehicle management office shall arrange the test according to the scheduled test site and time. After passing Subject One, the applicant can schedule Subject Two or Subject Three road driving skills test. Relevant information about the driving license test is as follows: 1. Introduction: The driver's test is a qualification examination organized by the Vehicle Management Office of the Public Security Bureau. Only by passing the driver's test can one obtain a driver's license and legally drive motor vehicles. 2. Content: The motor vehicle driver's test content is divided into the road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge test subject (also known as the 'theoretical test', referred to as 'Subject One'), the site driving skills test subject (commonly known as 'yard test', referred to as 'Subject Two'), and the road driving skills and safe civilized driving common sense test subject (commonly known as 'road test', referred to as 'Subject Three'). The test content and passing standards are unified nationwide, with corresponding test items specified according to different types of permitted driving vehicles.
I was also curious about this issue before, because my friend tried to book both Subject 2 and Subject 3 tests at the same time. As a result, he failed Subject 2, and the driving school directly notified him that his Subject 3 test was canceled. They explained that you must pass Subject 2 (the closed-course test) first before moving on to the road test stage. This rule is based on the logical sequence of skills—learning to drive is a step-by-step process, just like learning to ride a bicycle where you practice balance before hitting the road. Failing Subject 2 indicates unstable fundamentals, and rushing into Subject 3 could pose safety risks. My advice is to focus on mastering Subject 2 first instead of hastily booking Subject 3, otherwise, you’ll just waste money and time. Practice more, or get proper guidance from a driving instructor—that’s how I aced my test last time, hassle-free and efficient.
