The "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses" clearly stipulate that on the day of the second retake for Subject 1, candidates can take the test twice. If the first attempt is unsuccessful, a second retake is allowed free of charge. If the second attempt still fails, the Subject 1 test is terminated, and the candidate can only schedule another test after ten days. Subject 1, also known as the theoretical test or driver's theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driving license assessment. The test content includes driving theory basics, road safety laws and regulations, local regulations, and related knowledge. The test is conducted on a computer with a time limit of 45 minutes. To pass Subject 1, a score of 90 is required. The test consists of 100 questions, divided into single-choice and true/false questions, with each question worth 1 point for a total of 100 points. If a candidate answers 11 questions incorrectly, the system will automatically submit the test and end the session. Subject 1 test content: Driving license and motor vehicle management regulations; Road traffic conditions and regulations; Road traffic safety violations and penalties; Road traffic accident handling regulations; Basic knowledge of motor vehicles; Local regulations; Knowledge of braking systems and safety devices for large and medium-sized passenger and freight vehicles; Specialized knowledge for wheeled self-propelled machinery, trams, and trolleybuses. Subject 1 test precautions: Candidates should dress appropriately (no slippers), avoid bringing electronic devices or bags into the test center, carry their ID card, and queue to enter the waiting hall. Observe the instructions and procedures on the large screen, and store personal belongings in lockers before entering the test room. Upon entering, candidates will be assigned a seat at the identity verification station. Once seated, the test begins. Ensure the camera is aligned correctly and follow test discipline. If the first attempt fails, a same-day retake is allowed. If the retake also fails, a new appointment must be made with a fee. After completion, queue to collect the score report and sign it. Unsigned reports are considered invalid. There is no limit to the number of times Subject 1 can be scheduled. Each subject allows one test attempt, with one retake if unsuccessful. If the retake is not taken or fails, the test session ends, and the applicant must reschedule. In contrast, Subject 2 and Subject 3 allow only five test attempts each, with rescheduling permitted after ten days. If the Subject 3 safety and civilized driving knowledge test is failed, the passed road driving skills test results remain valid. There are three subjects in the driving test: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3. Subject 1 refers to the road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge test. Subject 2 refers to the field driving skills test. Subject 3 is divided into two parts: road driving skills and safety and civilized driving knowledge tests. The safety and civilized driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject 3, so it is commonly referred to as Subject 4. However, the official term (under the Ministry of Public Security's Order No. 123) does not include "Subject 4."

For the second makeup exam of Subject One, there is only one attempt allowed on the day, as I learned firsthand while helping a friend prepare. The test center regulations stipulate that each candidate can only take one exam within the scheduled time, whether it's the first attempt or a retake. This is because the exam system needs to maintain order and fairness, preventing multiple attempts on the same day. If you don't pass on that day, you'll need to reschedule for the next available slot, usually with a gap of several days to allow time for reviewing the question bank. There is no overall limit on the number of retakes, but each attempt requires a separate fee—I’ve seen people retake it three or four times before passing. It’s advisable to download the official app in advance, practice daily with mock tests for about half an hour, which effectively reduces nervousness and increases success rates.

I remember when I was taking my driver's license test, I failed the first attempt at Subject 1. On the day of the retake, I only took the test once, and after knowing the result, I went home to reschedule. The exam rules clearly state that each scheduled day offers only one test opportunity, and a retake simply refers to that rescheduled test—you can't take a second attempt on the same day. If you fail, you need to book the next test online or by phone. I recommend checking your system login account in advance to avoid delays. To pass smoothly, I practiced 50 questions daily on a mobile app, familiarizing myself with common intersection signs and rules, which made the retake much easier. Remember, it's normal to be underprepared once—consistent review is the key.

I just accompanied my cousin to retake the Theory Test (Subject 1), and he only had one attempt for the make-up exam that day. This is the standard procedure—the booking system allows each candidate only one test per session, with results released immediately after completion. If they fail, they must wait a few days before scheduling the next attempt. The retake itself is simply a chance to rebook the exam, with no limit on total attempts, but each test incurs a separate fee. During the exam, I reminded him not to stress and to review mock tests in advance, such as traffic signal questions from the question bank. Revisiting incorrect answers multiple times can be a big help. Actually, getting a driver's license is like leveling up in a game—take it step by step, and if you fail, just grind again.

Is the License Plate Fee Mandatory to Pay at the 4S Store?

It is not mandatory. Below is the relevant information: Regulations: According to Article 9 of the "Consumer Rights and Interests Protection Law of the People's Republic of China," consumers have the right to independently choose goods or services. Consumers have the right to independently select the operators providing goods or services, choose the types of goods or methods of services, and decide whether to purchase any product or accept any service. When making independent choices, consumers have the right to compare, evaluate, and select. Considerations: Shop around—only by spending more time and effort to compare can you avoid being taken advantage of. If the license plate fee seems too high, try purchasing from another 4S store. If all stores charge a license plate fee, try to negotiate the fee down to the minimum possible. This is the only way to ensure you don’t overspend unnecessarily.

Why Does the Car Shake More When It Gets Hotter?

It may be caused by carbon deposits in the engine or throttle body. Below is a related introduction to the reasons for car shaking: 1. Ignition system issues: Check the working condition of the spark plugs, high-voltage wires, and ignition coils. Poor performance of the ignition system or faulty spark plug firing can also lead to this type of problem. The solution is to check if the spark plugs have excessive carbon buildup and replace them if necessary. 2. Unstable oil pressure: If you have already cleaned the engine carbon deposits, cleaned the throttle body, replaced the oil gasket and spark plugs, but still notice the car shaking at idle, check the fuel supply pressure and the intake pressure sensor. Abnormal fuel pump pressure or incorrect readings and poor performance of the intake pressure sensor can cause the car to shake. The solution is to check the oil pressure and replace the components if necessary.

Does Parking and Listening to Music Drain the Battery?

Parking and listening to music does drain the battery. Here are some related points about parking and listening to music: 1. Idling while listening to music: Although idling while listening to music does not use the battery's power, prolonged idling can easily lead to carbon buildup in the engine. Statistics show that idling while listening to music consumes an additional 2-3L of fuel per hour on average, costing around ten dollars per hour. 2. Precautions when turning off the car: Turn off the air conditioning, and check if the cigarette lighter is off when shutting down the engine. The cigarette lighter is not only used for lighting cigarettes but also powers devices like GPS, dash cams, and air purifiers. If these devices remain powered when the engine is off, it can cause "battery drain." It is advisable to avoid listening to music or using any electrical devices when the engine is off.
