Can I take the Subject 3 driving test with an expired ID card?

[DiCole]

You cannot take the Subject 3 driving test with an expired ID card. You need to go to the local police station in your permanent residence area to renew your ID card. At the same time, you should apply for a temporary ID card, which has the same legal effect as a formal ID card within its validity period. The temporary ID card is valid for three months, and it usually takes three days to obtain, but you can often get it on the same day. You can use the temporary ID card to take the Subject 3 test. 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. The test content and passing standards are unified nationwide, with corresponding test items specified for different types of vehicles. The "Temporary ID Card Management Regulations" stipulate in Article 14: Citizens engaged in relevant activities that require identity verification have the right to use a temporary ID card to prove their identity. Relevant units and their staff are not allowed to refuse. However, the temporary ID card is valid for only three months, so it is recommended to apply for a new ID card as soon as possible. If you know your ID card has expired before the test, you can first inquire with the driving test center or the Vehicle Management Office to see if other valid documents (such as a residence permit) can be used. If not, go to the local police station to apply for a temporary ID card as soon as possible. If you really cannot apply for a temporary ID card in time, cancel the test at least one day in advance at the Vehicle Management Office. This way, it will not be counted as a failure or absence, and you will not waste your test attempts. There are a total of 5 attempts for the Subject 3 test. If you fail the first attempt, you get one free retake on the spot. If you still fail the retake, the test session is terminated. Subject 3 includes the road driving skills test and the safe and civilized driving knowledge test. It is part of the motor vehicle driver's license test and is also the abbreviation for the road driving skills and safe and civilized driving knowledge test in the motor vehicle driver's test. The road driving skills test content varies depending on the type of vehicle you are licensed to drive. Test content: Getting into the car, light simulation test, starting, driving straight, shifting gears, changing lanes, pulling over, going straight through an intersection, turning left at an intersection, turning right at an intersection, crossing a pedestrian crossing, passing a school zone, passing a bus stop, meeting another vehicle, overtaking, making a U-turn, and driving at night. The safe driving knowledge test generally includes: safe and civilized driving operation requirements, safe driving knowledge in bad weather and complex road conditions, emergency handling methods such as tire blowouts, and post-accident handling knowledge.
