Can I Take the Subject 2 Test Without My ID Card?
2 Answers
Participants in the motor vehicle driver's license examination must present their original valid ID card or temporary ID card. A household registration book cannot be used for the test. If the ID card is lost on the day of the Subject 2 test, the examinee should go to the household registration hall of the public security bureau to apply for a temporary ID card as soon as possible. If the temporary ID card can be obtained on the same day, the examinee can still take the Subject 1 test as usual and should explain the actual situation to the staff at the household registration hall. If the temporary ID card cannot be obtained on the same day, the examinee will have to give up the Subject 2 test this time. The following is a related introduction to the subject test content: Subject 1: Road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge test (Subject 1) written test, computer-based, 100 points full marks, 90 points or above is a pass (including 90 points). Subject 2: Field driving skills test (Subject 2) on-site, actual vehicle. Only pass or fail. Reversing into a garage, parallel parking, S-curve, right-angle turn, and hill start and stop are the five compulsory items and are conducted in sequence. 100 points full marks, 80 points or above is a pass (including 80 points). Subject 3: Road driving skills test (Subject 3) on the highway or simulated site, actual vehicle. 100 points full marks, 90 points or above for large buses, 80 points or above for large trucks, and 70 points or above for other vehicle types is a pass. Subject 4: Safe and civilized driving-related knowledge (Subject 4) written test, 100 points full marks, 90 points or above is a pass (including 90 points).
Last year when I took the Subject 2 driving test, I suffered a big loss because I forgot to bring my ID card. That morning I was too excited, drove to the test center, and only when the staff at the entrance asked me to show my ID did I realize I didn't have it. I quickly called my family to deliver it, but it caused over an hour's delay, made me miss my scheduled test time, and had to reschedule. This incident taught me that the ID card is an official mandatory requirement - the original must be brought for every test with no room for luck. Test centers have strict identity verification procedures to prevent impersonation and ensure fairness. If you really forget it, some places may allow temporary use of a photocopy or contacting the driving school for solutions, but these rarely work out, carrying high risks and wasting money. Now I prepare all documents a day in advance, double-checking them in my bag to avoid last-minute mistakes affecting my license acquisition. After all, Subject 2 test attempts are limited - a small oversight can disrupt the entire plan, so I keep reminding myself to be extra cautious.
