How long after passing Subject 2 will the qualification expire if not taken further?
2 Answers
Starting from the date of Subject 1, if the motor vehicle driver's license examination is not passed within three years, the qualification for the motor vehicle driver's license examination will be canceled. Whether Subject 1 is passed or failed, the calculation starts from the examination date, so it is important to pay attention to the examination time. Below is extended information about the Subject 2 examination: Reversing into a garage: This tests the driver's ability to operate the vehicle in a confined space. Reversing into a garage is an assessment point in the driver's examination, which involves correctly reversing the vehicle into the garage from both sides while in motion. Parallel parking: Parallel parking is becoming increasingly common in urban areas, especially as parking spaces in regular parking lots become more scarce. Many places have designated parking spaces along the sides of streets, known as "parallel parking spaces." Curve driving: Curve driving, commonly known as the S-curve, is an assessment point in Subject 2 of the driver's examination. It evaluates the driver's ability to manipulate the steering and control the vehicle while driving through curves.
Back when I was getting my driver's license, my instructor specifically mentioned this. After passing Subject 2, the entire driving test eligibility is only valid for 3 years starting from the day you passed Subject 1. If you don't complete all subjects including Subject 3 and Subject 4 within those 3 years, everything becomes invalid and all previous test results are reset. I've personally seen several friends delay too long and end up having to retake everything from scratch, wasting both time and money. So, I suggest you schedule your subsequent tests as soon as possible—don't wait. After completing them, regularly check your driving test records to ensure they don't expire. Driving school systems often update rules, but the 3-year validity period is a basic standard. Don't let busy schedules disrupt your driving plans.
