Do You Get the Driver's License After Passing Subject Three?

[VincentLynn]

You still need to take Subject Four after passing Subject Three. The content and passing standards for the driver's license examination are unified nationwide, divided into three subjects and four tests: theoretical knowledge, field driving skills, road driving skills, and safety and civilized driving knowledge. Subject Four is a safety knowledge test conducted after the practical road driving test of "Subject Three" to further assess the candidate's traffic awareness. Relevant information about the driver's license examination is as follows: 1. Introduction: The driver's examination is a qualification test organized by the Vehicle Management Office of the Public Security Bureau. Only by passing the driver's examination can one obtain a driver's license and legally drive motor vehicles. 2. Content: The examination for motor vehicle drivers is divided into the subject of road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge (also known as "theoretical test", referred to as "Subject One"), the subject of field driving skills (commonly known as "pole test", referred to as "Subject Two"), and the subject of road driving skills and safety and civilized driving knowledge (commonly known as "road test", referred to as "Subject Three"). The examination content and passing standards are unified nationwide, with corresponding examination items specified according to different types of vehicles permitted to drive.

Just helped my neighbor check this process yesterday. Passing the third road test (Subject 3) is actually just one step away from getting your license. You'll need to immediately take the safety and civilization knowledge test (commonly known as Subject 4). This Subject 4 test is a computer-based exam mainly covering traffic regulations and driving ethics. The two tests are usually scheduled on the same day - Subject 3 in the morning and Subject 4 in the afternoon. If you pass both, you can get your license on the spot. However, procedures vary by region - some places require waiting two working days to collect the license at the DMV. Remember to bring your ID card and test score sheet, and some locations may require advance appointment for license collection. If you fail Subject 4, even with a perfect score in Subject 3, you'll need to reschedule a make-up test. The retake fee isn't expensive, but it does take time.

Last year when I was getting my driver's license, the instructor repeatedly emphasized: Don't rush to leave after completing the road test (Subject 3)! The testing center will directly arrange the computer-based test for Subject 4. After finishing the road test, I was taken by staff to the computer room, completed 100 questions in half an hour, and passed with 97 points shown immediately. After signing for confirmation, I waited for an hour before staff called names to distribute the physical driver's licenses. It's recommended to wear dark-colored clothes for the test as photos are required for license collection. If Subject 4 isn't scheduled that day, you'll need to make an appointment later via the traffic management APP. On the day I got my license, I excitedly ran three laps around the driving school, and only dared to actually drive on the road after one week.

Don't think you're free just because you passed the road test. After signing the road test pass form, you'll need to spend half a day at the driving school for the theoretical exam. The exam hall is full of computers, and the questions focus more on practical cases than the first subject. It's recommended to use the driving test app for specialized practice, especially the animated questions about accident liability determination. The passing score is 90 out of 100. I still remember the question I got wrong, which asked about the overtaking distance in waterlogged areas on rainy days, and the correct answer was 150 meters. Only after passing can you apply for the license. It's advisable to prepare a one-inch white-background photo in advance, as on-site photos tend to make your face look oily.
