Can I Take the Subject 2 Driving Test During National Day?

National Day is not available for the Subject 2 driving test. Reasons why the test cannot be taken during National Day: The Subject 2 driving test cannot be taken during National Day because it is a statutory holiday designated by the state, which is a special holiday period. During this time, staff at the vehicle management office are on leave. Generally, driving license tests are scheduled on regular working days, i.e., from Monday to Friday. Tests are not available on weekends and state-designated holidays, but you can make an appointment online to take the test on a working day. Introduction to Subject 2: Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment and is the abbreviation for the field driving skill test. For small cars (C1 and C2), the test items include five mandatory components: reverse parking, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, right-angle turns, and curve driving.

I just passed my Subject 2 driving test last month, and whether you can take the test during National Day holiday really depends on the specific test center arrangements. Usually during national statutory holidays like the seven-day National Day holiday, most local vehicle management offices and test centers will close for three to five days, as staff also need rest. I remember our local test site was closed for four days during last year's National Day holiday, only sporadically opening in the later days. If you want to try taking the test during the holiday, I suggest immediately downloading the Driving Test Guide app or checking the latest exam schedule on your local vehicle management office website. Some big cities may add extra test sessions towards the end of the holiday, but you'll need to be quick to secure a spot. However, holiday testing has its advantages too, like shorter queues, convenient transportation, and being able to focus more on practice. In short, advance preparation is key - don't wait until just before the holiday to ask around, or you might delay your progress.

As a seasoned driver who learned from a driving school, I've been driving for many years and have a clear understanding of things like Subject 2. Whether you can take the test during National Day depends entirely on the policies in your area—some smaller cities close entirely during the holiday, while major urban centers might only close for the first two days and resume normal operations afterward. For example, some test centers I know adjusted their schedules last year, returning to normal three days after the holiday. Don’t just rely on hearsay—it’s best to check for yourself by calling the 12358 hotline or consulting the official WeChat account "Local Driving Tests." Taking the test during the holiday also has the advantage of a quieter environment, unlike the usual crowded and stressful conditions. But remember, even though the weather is cooler, don’t get complacent—practice core skills like reverse parking and parallel parking more. Taking timely action is always the right move; don’t wait until the last minute to panic.

People taking the Subject 2 driving test here often discuss National Day arrangements, but the situation is actually quite straightforward. Most local vehicle management offices follow the holiday schedule, especially during the first three days of National Day when exams are unlikely to be held, with services resuming in the following days. If you're in a hurry to take the test, I recommend using your phone to search for the "National Driver Examination Platform" booking system to check specific dates—just enter your region and test type. I know some people think they can sneak in an exam during the holidays, only to make a wasted trip. The key is to schedule it at least two weeks in advance, not leaving it until right before the holiday. The advantage of testing during the holiday is fewer candidates, which can help performance, but the downside is service delays—so always have a Plan B. In short, be practical to avoid disappointment.
