If the driver's license is canceled due to not being renewed for more than one year, you need to retake Subject 1. If the license is canceled for other reasons, you need to retake all subjects from Subject 1 to Subject 4. Below is a detailed introduction to the methods for restoring a canceled driver's license: 1. Irrecoverable situations: Death, failure to meet physical conditions, loss of civil capacity, or exceeding the specified age make the driver's license irrecoverable. 2. Expired license without renewal: If the driver's license has been expired for no more than one year, you can simply bring your ID and driver's license to the DMV for renewal. If it has been expired for more than one year, you need to retake Subject 1 and pass the exam. If it has been expired for more than three years, you need to retake all subjects. 3. Blacklisted: If the driver's license was locked or blacklisted before cancellation, you need to go to the DMV to complete relevant procedures and pass the review before the lock is lifted and the license is restored from the blacklist.

My driver's license expired and was canceled last time, so I had to retake all the exams from scratch. Starting over, first was the theoretical test for Subject 1, which covered traffic laws and safety knowledge—required a lot of book study or practice with exam prep apps. Then came Subject 2, the closed-course driving test, where maneuvers like reverse parking and hill starts took several days of practice. It was time-consuming but manageable with persistence. Next was Subject 3, the road test, where I drove on actual roads with an examiner observing—nerve-wracking but staying calm was key. Finally, Subject 4 was another theory test, but more focused on safe and civilized driving. The whole process took about two months and cost more than the initial license application. My advice: don’t let your license expire for too long—renew it on time to avoid hassle. If it’s canceled, consult the DMV early to prevent delays.

When it comes to the number of tests required after driver's license cancellation, based on my years of driving experience, you typically need to take all four tests. Cancellation may occur because your license expired and you forgot to renew it, or you voluntarily applied to cancel your driving qualification. In this case, you must enroll in a driving school, take Test 1 (theoretical knowledge exam), practice basic skills like parallel parking in Test 2 (closed-course driving test), demonstrate actual road driving in Test 3 (on-road driving test), and finally complete Test 4 (safety knowledge and ethics exam). The entire process requires focus and practice time, and depending on individual progress, it may take one to three months to complete. It's best to contact local driving schools in advance to clarify details and avoid mistakes that could delay your exams. Maintain a calm mindset throughout the process and ensure compliance with all regulatory requirements.

My friend's driver's license was revoked and he was told he needed to retake all four tests. The first test covers traffic rules questions, which aren't hard to memorize but require serious review. The second test involves learning skills like parallel parking and right-angle turns, which are quite interesting to practice at the driving school's training ground. The third test is the road test where you drive a real car on the road - it can be scary thinking about accidents, but the instructor's guidance helps. The final test is another theory exam focusing on safe driving principles. He spent some money and time to get it all sorted out - preparing early after revocation avoids panic. Looking back now, going through these tests was quite character-building.
