Can I Take the Subject 3 Driving Test During the Seven-Day National Day Holiday?
2 Answers
The test centers are managed by traffic police departments, which follow statutory working hours and will not operate during the National Day holiday. Subject 3 Road Driving Skills Test: Generally includes: pre-driving preparations, lighting simulation test, starting, driving straight, gear shifting operations, lane changing, pulling over, going straight through intersections, turning left at intersections, turning right at intersections, crossing pedestrian crossings, passing school zones, passing bus stops, meeting oncoming vehicles, overtaking, making U-turns, and night driving. Subject 3 Safe and Civilized Driving Knowledge Test: Generally includes: requirements for safe and civilized driving operations, safe driving knowledge under adverse weather and complex road conditions, emergency handling methods for situations like tire blowouts, and post-accident handling knowledge.
The possibility of taking the Subject 3 driving test during the National Day holiday is relatively low, as the vehicle management offices and driving schools usually take holidays and have fewer or even no test arrangements. I suggest you open your phone now, install an official app like "Traffic Management 12123," log in, and check by entering your region to search for the nearest test schedule. If the website or app in your city shows available slots during the National Day holiday, hurry up and book them—slots are usually limited, so you need to act fast. Even if there are no arrangements, don’t worry. Use these seven days to practice parking and lane-changing skills to prepare for the post-holiday test. I once tried to take the test during National Day but ended up making a wasted trip. Later, I learned to check and book in advance, saving a lot of trouble. Remember, safety comes first. The roads are busy during the holidays, so choose open areas for practice and avoid reckless driving.
