How Many Times Can You Fail the Driving Test Part 3 Before Disqualification?

5 times. For C1 and C2 driver's license tests, each subject has five examination opportunities. If you fail the initial test, you will have one immediate retest opportunity. Passing the retest on the spot is considered as passing the examination. In total, there are 10 examination opportunities for small vehicle driver's license tests. However, note that each subject can only be scheduled for examination five times. The latest traffic regulations are as follows: 1. Content one: If an applicant cannot attend the examination at the scheduled time due to unforeseen circumstances, they must apply to cancel the appointment one day in advance. If the applicant fails to attend the examination at the scheduled time, the examination will be marked as failed. 2. Content two: Each subject examination can be taken once, and if the applicant fails, they can retake it once. If the applicant does not take the retest or fails the retest, the examination will be terminated, and the applicant must reschedule the examination. However, the rescheduling for Part 2 and Part 3 of the driving test must be done after ten days. For applicants who fail the Part 3 safety and civilized driving knowledge test, the passing scores from the road driving skills test remain valid. During the validity period of the driving skills test permit, the number of scheduled examinations for Part 2 and Part 3 road driving skills tests must not exceed five. If the fifth scheduled examination is still failed, the passing scores from other subjects will be invalidated.
Last time I took the driving test for Subject 3, I specifically asked about this. You can only take Subject 3 a maximum of five times. If you fail all five attempts, your previous passing scores for Subject 1 and Subject 2 will be invalidated, and you'll have to re-register and start the process all over again. This rule is written in the driving test regulations, and the validity period is three years, starting from the day you pass Subject 1. Even if the period hasn't expired, you'll have to start over if you fail. It's quite a hassle. My friend failed four times and barely passed on the fifth attempt, wasting money and waiting a long time. I suggest you practice more on the road instead of just simulating in the driving school. Pay attention to details during the test, such as turning on the signal when starting and pulling over to park. Don't waste your chances easily. Each test costs several hundred yuan, plus the cost of additional practice, so prepare early to avoid running out of attempts and panicking.
