There are four subjects in the driving test: Subject 1, Subject 2, Subject 3, and Subject 4. Each subject has two exam attempts on the spot. Subject 1 and Subject 4 have no limit on booking and exam attempts, while Subject 2 and Subject 3 can be scheduled up to 5 times. The validity period for the driving license application starts from the completion of Subject 1 and lasts for 3 years. Subject 1, also known as the theoretical test or driver 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 format is computer-based, consisting of 100 questions, with a passing score of 90 or above. Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is the abbreviation for the field driving skills test. The test items include five mandatory components: reversing into a parking space, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, turning at a right angle, and driving on a curve. Subject 3, also known as the big road test, assesses road driving skills for motor vehicle drivers. The test content varies depending on the type of vehicle being licensed but generally includes: preparing to drive, starting, driving straight, shifting gears, changing lanes, pulling over, driving straight through intersections, turning left at intersections, turning right at intersections, passing pedestrian crossings, passing school zones, passing bus stops, meeting vehicles, overtaking, making U-turns, and driving at night. Subject 4, also known as the theoretical test or driver theory test, consists of 50 questions presented in the form of case studies, images, animations, etc. The maximum score is 100, with a passing score of 90.

Applicants for other vehicle types must have uncorrected or corrected visual acuity of at least 4.9. Those with monocular vision impairment can apply for a license for small cars, small automatic transmission cars, low-speed trucks, three-wheeled cars, or small automatic transmission passenger cars for the disabled if their uncorrected or corrected visual acuity in the right eye is at least 5.0 and their horizontal field of vision is at least 150 degrees. Color vision: No red-green color blindness. Hearing: Must be able to distinguish the direction of sound sources with each ear at a distance of 50 cm from a tuning fork. Those with hearing impairments can apply for a license for small cars or small automatic transmission cars if they meet the above conditions with hearing aids. Upper limbs: Both thumbs must be intact, and each hand must have at least three other fingers intact, with normal limb and finger movement. However, those with missing finger tips or three intact fingers on the left hand and complete palms can apply for a license for small cars, small automatic transmission cars, low-speed trucks, or three-wheeled cars. Lower limbs: Both lower limbs must be intact with normal movement function, and the length difference must not exceed 5 cm. However, those missing the left lower limb or with impaired movement can apply for a license for small automatic transmission cars. Torso and neck: No movement dysfunction. Those missing the right lower limb or both lower limbs or with impaired movement but able to sit independently and meet the upper limb requirements can apply for a license for small automatic transmission passenger cars for the disabled. Those missing one palm but with an intact thumb and two other fingers on the other hand, normal upper limb and finger movement, and meeting the lower limb requirements can also apply for such a license. Applicants for a motor vehicle driving license must submit their application to the vehicle management office according to the following rules: Applicants residing in their registered permanent residence should apply there. Applicants residing in a temporary residence can apply there. Active military personnel (including armed police) should apply at their place of residence. Foreign nationals should apply at their place of residence. Applicants seeking to add a vehicle type to their license should apply at the place where their current driving license was issued.
I just got my driver's license not long ago. There are a total of four tests for the driving test now! Subject 1 is the theoretical test, which covers traffic rules, traffic signals, and other knowledge. You need to answer 100 multiple-choice questions. I practiced every day on my phone app before the test. Subject 2 is the field driving test, including reversing into a parking space, parallel parking, and stopping on a slope. It's practiced on the driving school grounds, so you need to be steady and not panic. Subject 3 is the road test, where you actually drive on the road with an examiner sitting beside you, checking details like turning and lane changes. Remember to yield to pedestrians. Finally, Subject 4 is about safe and civilized driving knowledge, covering emergency handling and ethical norms in the theoretical part. It's not too difficult but don't underestimate it. I recommend that beginners spend more time on Subject 2, find a reliable driving school, and don't be afraid of failure—practice repeatedly. Once you pass, you can drive out for fun! Anyway, the whole process is tiring but worth it.
