After passing Subject 4, you can receive the license on-site, usually within about 2 hours. Subject 4, also known as the Subject 4 theory test or driver's theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. The main content includes: safe and civilized driving operation requirements, safe driving knowledge under adverse weather and complex road conditions, emergency handling methods for situations like tire blowouts, and post-traffic accident handling knowledge. The Subject 4 test consists of 50 questions, primarily in the form of case studies, images, and animations, with a full score of 100 and a passing score of 90. After the implementation of the Ministry of Public Security's Order No. 123, the Subject 3 test was divided into two parts: the road test and an additional safety and common sense test, commonly referred to as "Subject 4," which assesses "driving ethics." Because this test is conducted after Subject 3, it is commonly called the Subject 4 test, although officially, there is no such term as Subject 4. Before the test, students can study traffic regulations through driver simulation test software on mobile or computer devices.

I've lived in Dongguan for over a decade, and many friends around me have taken the driver's license test. After passing Subject 4, getting the license is usually quite fast, typically taking about 1-2 working days. Many candidates opt for home delivery, as the vehicle management office is efficient, though delays may occasionally occur due to weekends. It's advisable to confirm the address details with the staff after the test to avoid any mistakes. The road conditions in Dongguan are quite complex, so after obtaining the license, don't rush to hit the road. Find an open space to practice steering and parking skills—safety is paramount. Also, promptly handle vehicle registration and insurance procedures. These small steps may seem simple but ensure smooth driving in the future. During the waiting period, relax, listen to some music, and plan your next steps for car purchase.

I just passed the subject four test in Dongguan and received a notification to collect my driver's license the next morning. The whole process was smooth and efficient. The staff at the test center had explained in advance that the processing time is usually within 24 hours. As a new driver, I was very much looking forward to the moment of getting the little blue book, but I was also a bit nervous during the wait. It is advisable to prepare your ID card in advance and check your phone messages regularly to avoid missing the notification. The service at the Dongguan Test Center is reliable. After getting the license, it's best to find an experienced driver to accompany you to practice driving at the city outskirts to familiarize yourself with basic operations, rather than heading straight into the downtown traffic congestion zones. Driving is an art that requires gradual refinement.

In Dongguan, the driver's license is issued quickly after passing the Subject 4 test, as the system processes it automatically. It's usually done on the same day or the next day. After the test, I went directly to the vehicle management office to inquire about the status and was able to pick up the license after a short wait. Candidates who schedule their exams in the morning are more likely to complete the process on the same day. Dongguan has several test centers, so choose the nearest one. Don’t forget to bring your photo and ID. For new drivers, it’s best to practice parking rules first, as the streets in Dongguan are narrow—safety comes first. After getting your license, consider buying a small car; simpler models are easier to master the driving rhythm. Don’t overlook these details; accumulating experience is key to driving long-term.
