How many attempts are allowed for the Subject 3 test at one time?

Each Subject 3 test provides two attempts. If you fail, you have up to five additional retake opportunities. According to regulations, within the validity period of the driving skills test permit, the number of scheduled tests for both Subject 2 and Subject 3 road driving skills tests must not exceed five. If you still fail on the fifth scheduled test, the results of other subjects that you have previously passed will be invalidated. The Subject 3 test is unique in that during the exam, you must not rush the commands. Follow the voice prompts for actions and avoid premature operations, as failing to comply with the examiner's instructions will result in a deduction of 100 points, leading to an immediate failure. Do not cross solid road lines or zebra crossings, or you will lose 100 points and fail instantly. Avoid prolonged crossing of dashed road lines, or you will be penalized 10 points. Pay attention to traffic signals; running a red light will cost you 100 points and result in an immediate failure.
I remember being particularly nervous during the driving test's Subject 3. Each appointment only allows one attempt, meaning you have just one chance on the exam day. If you fail, you must re-register and wait for the next test, usually scheduled seven days later. I experienced two failures myself, but later I got smarter by practicing turns and lane changes more diligently, which helped me pass eventually. The total number of attempts is limited to five; failing all means restarting from Subject 1. I advise beginners to simulate road conditions in advance to familiarize themselves with the rules and stay calm. Many driving schools now offer simulation exercises. On the exam day, bringing the correct documents and maintaining a relaxed mindset is crucial—after all, driving safety is the core. Don't fear retaking the test; treat it as a learning experience.
