I remember after passing the Subject 3 test, I specifically asked my driving instructor about the time limit for Subject 4, only to find out that policies vary by region, but generally, you must pass the Subject 4 exam within three years. I was in a hurry to get my driver's license and worried about expiration affecting it, so I signed up for Subject 4 in the same month I passed Subject 3. If you don't take it soon, your previous results might become invalid, forcing you to retake all subjects, wasting both time and money. I also heard from friends who delayed too long and ended up facing more trouble due to policy adjustments when retaking. So, I suggest you check the official announcements from your local DMV or directly consult the driving school for the exact deadline, and arrange your study and exam schedule as early as possible. After all, getting your license sooner means safer driving on the road.

After passing the driving test's third subject, my biggest concern was how long I could delay taking the fourth subject. Later, I learned from the vehicle management office that most places require completing the fourth subject within three years. At the time, I thought there was plenty of time, but when I started preparing a year later, I found that the content of the fourth subject had changed significantly, and my review couldn't keep up. If you delay too long, your results become invalid, and having to retake the third subject and previous items is quite exhausting. My personal experience tells me not to just rest; strike while the iron is hot. The questions for the fourth subject aren't difficult, but there are many of them, requiring regular practice with mock tests. Scheduling early can also help avoid long queues during peak exam periods, saving a lot of energy.

I was worried about the deadline for Subject 4 soon after passing Subject 3. After checking official information, most cities require passing Subject 4 within three years, otherwise all previous test results become invalid. I remember my neighbor waited two years to take Subject 4 and ended up facing a more complex exam due to reforms. Don’t easily believe various claims online—check the DMV website or hotline directly for accurate information. Taking the test promptly ensures a smooth path to getting your license, and applying safe driving knowledge right away avoids delays.

Can a lost driver's license be used by others?

If a driver's license is lost, it could potentially be used by others for deducting points. However, legally, it is not permitted for someone to use a found driver's license to handle traffic violation points, as the license is strictly for the driver's personal use. If a lost license has been replaced with a new one, the lost license becomes invalid. Below are specific details about driver's licenses: Function: A driver's license is the legal document permitting a motor vehicle to be driven on the road, containing detailed information about the vehicle and its owner. Regulations: Drivers must operate a motor vehicle according to the vehicle type specified on their license and must carry both the driver's license and vehicle registration when driving. Driving without carrying a driver's license or vehicle registration will result in a 1-point deduction and temporary vehicle seizure until valid documents are provided.

How many people can a motorhome accommodate?

According to the standards of general small motorhomes, a motorhome can accommodate 4-6 people. However, if the length of the motorhome is less than 6 meters, the number of passengers must not exceed 6. Some motorhomes are also restricted to carrying no more than 5 people. The exact number of passengers allowed depends on the capacity indicated on the motorhome's certification. Below is relevant information: Introduction: Motorhomes are often referred to as 'homes on wheels,' combining the functions of both a house and a vehicle. However, their primary attribute remains that of a vehicle—a movable dwelling with home-like functionalities. Regulations: For trailer-type motorhomes, although they are not listed among the vehicle types prohibited from highways in the 'Road Traffic Regulations,' the 'Implementation Regulations of Road Traffic Safety Law' stipulate that 'small passenger cars are only allowed to tow travel trailers or trailers with a total mass of less than 700 kilograms, and trailers must not carry passengers.' Those that comply with this regulation are permitted on highways; otherwise, they are not allowed.
