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.
