Can I Take the Subject One Test Anytime After Drunk Driving on a Motorcycle?
3 Answers
You cannot take the Subject One test anytime after drunk driving on a motorcycle. The penalties for drunk driving on a motorcycle are as follows: 1. Deduction of points: Riding a motorcycle with a C1 driver's license will result in a deduction of 12 points. 2. License suspension and fine: Drunk driving leads to a temporary suspension of the driver's license for six months and a fine. Information about Subject One is as follows: 1. Subject One: Also known as the Subject One theoretical test or driver's theoretical test, it is part of the motor vehicle driver's license examination. 2. Test content: According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," the test includes driving theory basics, road safety laws and regulations, local regulations, and related knowledge. 3. Test format: It is a computer-based test with a full score of 100, and a passing score of 90.
I know this all too well, I learned the hard way last year. After getting caught riding a motorcycle under the influence, my license was revoked immediately—my Class E license was no exception. The traffic police told me on the spot that I'd have to wait out the suspension period—at least a full six months. During that time, even if you wanted to retake the theory test (Subject 1) right away? No chance. The system automatically locks you out, and you can only register for the theoretical retraining at the vehicle management office once the six months are up. The waiting process is agonizing, and you still have to spend time attending classes and doing practice tests at the driving school. If you fail the test, you’re looking at another month’s delay. So drunk driving really isn’t worth it—wasting time and money. Looking back now, I feel like slapping myself.
Back when I was helping out at the driving school, I often came across students like this who kept anxiously asking if they could immediately retake the theory test after a drunk driving exam. Let me tell you the truth—the regulations simply don't provide such a shortcut. The penalties for motorcycle DUI are basically the same as for four-wheeled vehicles, starting with a mandatory six-month suspension. During this period, your records are frozen, and you can't schedule any exams. Once the suspension period is over, you must first settle all demerit points and fines, then bring the release notice to book the theory test. I've seen people who didn't believe it and went straight to the test center, only to be turned away at the door. These rules are meant to teach you a lesson—just wait out the full period before even thinking about studying again.
