There are two chances in one driving test for Subject 2. If you fail the first attempt during the Subject 2 test, you will have an immediate retest opportunity. If you still fail the retest, you will need to wait approximately two weeks to reschedule the test on the 12123 Traffic Management APP. According to the regulations on the application and use of motor vehicle driving licenses, each test includes one initial attempt and one immediate retest if failed. Within the validity period, the number of scheduled tests for Subject 2 and Subject 3 (road driving skills) must not exceed five times. If the fifth scheduled test is still failed, the results of other previously passed subjects will be invalidated, and you will need to re-register and reschedule the test.

I remember my Subject 2 driving test particularly clearly - we got two attempts in one exam session! On my first try, I immediately crossed the line when entering the reverse parking, so the safety officer had me drive back to the starting point for another go. For the second attempt, I wised up - took deep breaths, slowed down, and even passed the hill start smoothly. Actually, most test centers operate this way - if you fail the first attempt, you can immediately retake it without leaving the car. If both attempts fail, you'll need to pay and reschedule. Honestly though, mindset matters more on the second try - many people make a comeback on their retry. Before the second attempt, remember to adjust your seat and mirrors. If you're nervous, pinching your thigh twice really helps!

Our driving school instructors always emphasize that you get two attempts in Subject 2. If you fail the first try due to stalling on the slope or crossing lines in reverse parking, don't panic—the testing system will let you restart from the beginning. Among the students I've coached, seven out of ten pass on their second attempt, especially on sections like the curve driving. But remember, the second attempt isn't a complete restart—it continues from the failed section. If you fail both attempts on the same section, I recommend practicing for a couple more days before rescheduling. Currently, you have to wait over ten days to rebook and pay a retake fee, so make sure to make the most of that second chance.

Recently, I finally understood the rules while accompanying my cousin for his Subject 2 driving test: you get two attempts upon successful registration. My cousin failed his first try during parallel parking by touching the line, and the examiner immediately allowed him to retake the second attempt from the parallel parking section. On-site, I noticed other candidates also had immediate retakes after failing without needing to exit the vehicle. However, the second attempt shares the same evaluation criteria as the first, such as the 210-second time limit for reverse parking not being reset. So, it's crucial to be both steady and quick during the second try. If you fail twice in a row, you'll have to pay and reschedule. The test center staff mentioned that the maximum number of registrations is five, meaning you can take the test up to ten times in total.
