How many days after failing the driving test (Subject 3) can you schedule the second attempt?
3 Answers
You can schedule the second attempt for the Subject 3 driving test approximately ten days after failing. Below is relevant information about Subject 3: 1. Introduction to Subject 3: Subject 3, which includes the road driving skills test and the safety and civilized driving knowledge test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. It is the abbreviated term for the road driving skills and safety and civilized driving knowledge test in the motor vehicle driver's examination. The content of the road driving skills test varies depending on the type of vehicle you are licensed to drive. 2. Test Content of Subject 3: The driving skills test includes preparation before driving, simulated lighting test, starting, driving in a straight line, shifting gears, changing lanes, parking by the roadside, driving straight through intersections, etc. The safety and civilized driving knowledge test covers requirements for safe and civilized driving operations, safe driving knowledge under adverse weather and complex road conditions, etc.
When I failed the third driving test last time, I was also eager to book a second attempt, only to be told I had to wait 10 days before rescheduling. This 10-day period is a mandatory rule, said to give candidates time to cool down and reflect on their mistakes. I used this time to arrange four additional practice sessions with my instructor, focusing on correcting my issue of always crossing the line during roadside parking. The driving school instructor mentioned that it's normal not to be able to book during the system lock-in period and advised me to log into the Traffic Management 12123 APP at 8 a.m. on the 10th day to secure a spot, otherwise, I'd have to wait for the next batch. Don't stress too much—failing the third test is quite common; my classmates averaged about 2.3 attempts to pass.
Our driving school instructor mentioned that after failing the third subject, you need to wait for 10 calendar days before rescheduling the exam, including weekends. This time gap is actually quite reasonable. Last time one of my students failed, I had her use these ten days to do three things: watch actual footage of the test route daily to familiarize herself, compile a memo of the points deducted, and rent a test car for two practice runs. I suggest you go directly to the driving school's front desk to register for a retake—their system automatically manages the timing, which is more convenient than trying to book through the app yourself. Don't find it troublesome; focus on practicing parallel parking and driving in a straight line, as these two account for 70% of the failures.
