Can the driving test be extended if it is about to expire?

It is not possible to apply for an extension of the driving test; you must re-register and start the test again. According to Article 32 of the 'Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses,' for the initial application for a motor vehicle driving license or the application to add a permitted driving model, after passing the subject one test, the vehicle management office shall issue a driving skill test permit within one day. The driving skill test permit is valid for three years, and the applicant must complete subject two and subject three tests within the validity period. If the tests are not completed within the validity period, the results of the already passed subjects will be invalidated. Since the 'Learning to Drive Certificate' can only be obtained by passing subject one, if subject one is failed, the three-year validity period of the driving test will not take effect. The driving test includes three items: traffic regulations and related knowledge, field driving, and road driving (including safe and civilized driving). The order of the test subjects is traffic regulations and related knowledge (referred to as subject one [theory]), field driving (referred to as subject two [nine items]), and road driving (referred to as subject three [road test and safe and civilized driving]), conducted in sequence. During the test, if one subject is failed, the following subjects will not proceed. Each subject test has two opportunities. If both attempts are failed, the current test is terminated. During the validity period of the learning driving license, you can pay the retest fee and take the retest after further study. The retest fee varies depending on local conditions. After completing subject one, you must pass subject two and subject three within three years. If you cannot pass, the test content will be invalidated, and you must re-register for subject one. Under the new regulations, both subject two and subject three have five attempts. If you cannot pass within these five attempts, you must retake subject one.
