How Many Times Can You Take the Driving Test for Subject 2 and Subject 3?
2 Answers
Both Subject 2 and Subject 3 of the driving test can be taken up to five times. If you fail to pass the test within these five attempts, you will need to re-enroll in a driving school and retake Subject 1. Subject 2 is the field driving skills test, which includes: reversing into a garage, stopping and starting on a slope, turning at a right angle, driving along a curve, and parallel parking. Subject 3 is the road driving skills test, which includes: preparing to start, starting, driving straight, changing lanes, passing through intersections, pulling over, crossing pedestrian crossings, passing through school zones, passing bus stops, meeting oncoming vehicles, overtaking, making U-turns, and driving at night.
I remember the regulation for the number of attempts in Subject 2 and Subject 3 exams is that each person can take each subject a maximum of 5 times. I failed my first Subject 2 exam twice, and my instructor said there was a 10-day waiting period for each retake, but one more try could pass it. Five chances may seem like a lot, but if you don’t practice seriously, they can be wasted quickly. The key is not to get nervous on exam day and to familiarize yourself with the car’s feel—for example, practicing reversing into the garage multiple times. My friend took four attempts to pass, spending a lot on fees since each retake required payment. If you fail all five attempts, you have to start over from Subject 1, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. So, I advise new learners to participate in more mock exams to gain experience and avoid using up all their attempts. After all, getting a driver’s license is about driving safely on the road, not just passing the test.
