After failing Subject 2, you need to wait ten days before rescheduling the exam. Below are the rescheduling rules for Subject 2 and the exam items: Rescheduling rules for Subject 2: For first-time applicants of driving licenses for small cars, small automatic transmission cars, low-speed trucks, three-wheeled cars, or small automatic transmission passenger cars for the disabled, you must wait at least 10 days after obtaining the learning driving permit before scheduling the exam. For applicants upgrading to large buses, trailers, city buses, medium-sized buses, or large trucks, you must wait at least 20 days after obtaining the learning driving permit before scheduling the exam. Exam items for Subject 2: The exam items for Subject 2 vary depending on the vehicle type and are divided into four categories: content for AB licenses, C1 licenses, C2 licenses, and C4/C5/D/E/F licenses. Each vehicle type has different exam requirements. For example, the C1 license exam includes parallel parking, reversing into a garage, curve driving, right-angle turns, and hill starts.
When I failed my Subject 2 driving test, I felt really down. But after checking with my driving instructor, I learned that you usually have to wait about 10 working days before you can schedule a retest. The rules might vary in different regions—some places require 7 days or two weeks—so it's crucial to check your local regulations instead of just taking others' word for it. That waiting period turned out to be valuable for me. I made time to practice at the training ground every day, focusing on reverse parking and parallel parking since those were my weak spots from the previous attempt. I even asked my instructor to record a driving video so I could review my mistakes repeatedly. Eventually, I passed the retest smoothly. My advice: don’t panic if you fail—treat this waiting time as a chance to improve, and plan ahead to book your next test early.
