Does Subject 4 Count Towards the 3-Year Time Limit?

Subject 4 does not count towards the 3-year time limit. Below are the relevant details: Subject 4 Exam Content: Safe and civilized driving operation requirements, safe driving knowledge under adverse weather and complex road conditions, emergency handling methods for situations like tire blowouts. Depending on the type of driver's license being tested, 50 questions are randomly selected from the corresponding Subject 4 question bank at a certain ratio. For car-type licenses, questions are drawn from a pool of 1,240, while for large vehicle-type licenses, they are drawn from 1,235. Each question is worth 2 points. Driver's License Exam Time Limit Regulations: The time limit for the driver's license exam is calculated from the date of passing Subject 1, with a maximum duration of three years. The validity period of the driving skill permit is three years, and applicants must complete Subjects 2 and 3 within this validity period.
Of course, Subject 4 counts within the 3-year time limit, and I know this all too well! Last year when I passed Subject 1, my instructor specifically reminded me that all subject exams must be completed within 3 years. This countdown starts from the day you pass Subject 1. If you don't complete Subject 4 within this period, all your previous passed subjects will become invalid, and you'll have to re-register and start over. I have a friend who was too busy with work and forgot about it, only rushing to schedule the exam one month before Subject 3 expired. I suggest setting a reminder on your phone or asking the driving school to keep an eye on it, so you don't waste these three years.
