Can I Take the Driving Test Subject 3 with an Expired ID Card?
2 Answers
You cannot take Subject 3 with an expired ID card. You need to bring your ID card to the local police station where your permanent residence is registered to renew your ID card and apply for a temporary ID card at the same time. You can take Subject 3 with the temporary ID card. Relevant information about the driving test is as follows: Introduction: The driving test is a qualification examination organized by the Vehicle Management Office of the Public Security Bureau. Only by passing the driving test can you obtain a driver's license and legally drive a motor vehicle. Content: The driving test for motor vehicle drivers is divided into the subject of road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge (also known as the "theoretical test," referred to as "Subject 1"), the subject of field driving skills (commonly known as the "yard test," referred to as "Subject 2"), and the subject of road driving skills and safe and civilized driving knowledge (commonly known as the "road test," referred to as "Subject 3"). The test content and passing standards are unified nationwide, with corresponding test items specified according to different types of vehicles eligible for driving.
Buddy, I ran into this exact situation when I was taking my Category 3 driving test - an expired ID card really won't work. The testing center needs to verify your ID on the spot, and an expired one counts as invalid documentation - they won't even let you in. Last time I foolishly brought my expired card, got stopped right away, wasted the trip and lost my exam fee too. My advice: hurry to the local police station to get a new one - even a temporary ID will work. Don't take the risk - expired IDs cause hassles in daily life too, like not being allowed on high-speed trains. Safe driving is what matters most - be fully prepared before testing, it'll save you both headaches and money.
