How Long is the Validity Period of the Driving Skill Test Permit?
2 Answers
The validity period of the driving skill test permit is three years. After passing the Subject 1 test, the vehicle management office will issue the driving skill test permit within one day. Applicants must complete Subject 2 and Subject 3 tests within the validity period. If not completed, the passed test results will become invalid. Below is an introduction to the various subjects of the driving test: 1. Subject 1: Traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge test, which is theoretical, answered on a computer, with a full score of 100, and a passing score of 90 or above (including 90). 2. Subject 2: Field driving skill test, conducted with an actual vehicle in a designated area. Results are only pass or fail. 3. Subject 3: (1) Road driving skill test: Conducted with an actual vehicle on a road or simulated area. (2) Safe and civilized driving test (Subject 4): This is a theoretical test, with a full score of 100, and a passing score of 90 or above (including 90).
I just got my driver's license exam permit, and I'm so excited! This permit is valid for a full three years, meaning that from the day you pass the written test (Subject 1), you must complete the practical driving tests (Subject 2 and Subject 3) within three years. If the deadline is exceeded, the exam eligibility will be voided, and even the Subject 1 results will expire, requiring you to start the registration process all over again. I think the timeline is tight, but with proper planning, it's manageable. I plan to practice driving every week and schedule the tests as soon as possible to avoid procrastination. Life can get unexpectedly busy—work or other commitments might take up your time—so I recommend that beginners act early. Don’t assume three years is a long time; it flies by. The sooner you finish, the less stress you’ll have. After passing Subject 1, it’s best to start practical training within a month to build skills more steadily.
