How many times can you fail the driving test before you are no longer allowed to continue taking the exam?

If you fail the driving test five times, you will no longer be allowed to retake the exam and will need to reapply. Here are the relevant details about the driving test: 1. Exam Regulations: Each subject can be taken once, and if you fail, you are allowed one retake. If you do not attend the retake or fail the retake, the current exam session will be terminated, and the applicant must schedule a new exam. However, for Subject 2 and Subject 3 (road driving skills), the new exam must be scheduled at least 10 days later. The number of retakes for Subject 2 and Subject 3 road driving skills exams cannot exceed five. If you fail the fifth retake, all previously passed subjects will be invalidated. 2. Validity Period: The driving test skill certificate is valid for three years. If it exceeds three years, it becomes invalid, and you will need to reapply for the exam.

When I was getting my driver's license, I specifically studied the regulations. For the on-site driving test (Subject 2) and road driving test (Subject 3), each has five examination attempts. Each attempt includes two trial opportunities—for example, if you fail the first time, you can immediately retake it once. If you still don't pass after the fifth retake, you have to start all over again—your previously passed Subject 1 results become invalid, the registration fee is forfeited, and you have to repay and retake the theoretical exam. However, there are no limits on the number of attempts for the theoretical exam (Subject 1) or the safety and civics knowledge test (Subject 4). I know a guy who failed Subject 3 four times but passed on his last attempt under pressure—now he drives steadily.

As someone who frequently interacts with driving schools, I'd like to remind everyone to pay attention to this rule: For the practical test components - Subject 2 and Subject 3 - the maximum number of booking attempts is five for each. Each exam session includes both the initial test and an immediate retake opportunity. If you fail on the fifth attempt, the system will reset all previously passed subject scores. However, there's no need to worry about the written tests; you can retake Subject 1 and Subject 4 until you pass. Some students get so nervous after failing the third attempt that their hands shake, but there's really no need for that. By reviewing exam recordings to identify specific problem areas and practicing accordingly, most people can pass within four attempts.

I remember when I was learning to drive at the driving school, the instructor emphasized the rules about the number of test attempts. For the on-site test (Subject 2) and the road test (Subject 3), you can take them up to five times, with two attempts each time. If you fail all five times, you have to re-register and retake all subjects. The failure rate for practical tests is relatively high, especially for reversing into a parking space and driving in a straight line. It's recommended to review mistakes and seek additional practice with a coach before scheduling the third attempt. As for the theoretical parts, Subject 1 and Subject 4 have no limit on the number of attempts. I once saw a lady who passed Subject 1 on her third try but aced the practical tests on her first attempt.
