How Long Between Each Subject of the Driver's License Test?
2 Answers
For the small vehicle driver's license test, there must be at least ten days between passing Subject 1 and taking Subject 2, and at least twenty days between passing Subject 1 and taking Subject 3. For large vehicles, the required time is longer. After passing Subject 1 for the first-time application for a motor vehicle driver's license or applying to add a permitted driving type, the vehicle management office should issue the driving skill test permit within one day. Below are detailed introductions: 1. Introduction 1: For low-speed trucks, three-wheeled vehicles, wheeled self-propelled machinery, trolleybuses, and tram permitted driving types, the test can be scheduled after holding the driving skill test permit for at least twenty days. 2. Introduction 2: For small cars, small automatic transmission cars, and small automatic transmission passenger cars for the disabled permitted driving types, the test can be scheduled after holding the driving skill test permit for at least thirty days.
I recall the days when I was getting my driver's license. After passing the theory test for Subject 1, we waited almost two weeks before starting to practice the reverse parking and other tasks for Subject 2. The driving school's schedule was slow due to the high number of students and limited vehicles. During that time, I reviewed the traffic rulebook at home every day and even borrowed an old car from a friend to practice. After passing Subject 2, there was another gap of nearly three weeks before starting the road test for Subject 3, as the DMV appointment queue was long, and the training intensity was high—requiring steady and solid preparation. Finally, Subject 4 was completed just one day later. The entire process took about a month. Although the intervals were long, they helped me master the skills more thoroughly, unlike today's youngsters who rush through the exams. My advice is to focus on practicing the fundamentals regardless of the intervals—don’t just chase speed, as safe driving is what matters most.
