How Many Times Can You Take the Driving Test Part 3?
3 Answers
C1 and C2 driver's license tests allow a maximum of five scheduling opportunities for Part 3. If you fail during the test, you will have one immediate retest opportunity. Passing the retest on the spot is equivalent to passing the test. In other words, there are a total of 10 test attempts for small vehicle driver's license exams. Below are the contents of the Part 3 driving test: 1. Road driving skills test content: Vehicle preparation, simulated lighting test, starting, driving in a straight line, gear shifting operations, changing lanes, pulling over, going straight through intersections, turning left at intersections, turning right at intersections, crossing pedestrian crossings, passing school zones, passing bus stops, meeting vehicles, overtaking, making U-turns, and nighttime driving. 2. Safe and civilized driving knowledge test content: Safe and civilized driving operation requirements, safe driving knowledge under adverse weather and complex road conditions, emergency handling methods for situations like tire blowouts, and post-accident handling knowledge.
I passed the driving test (Subject 3) on my third attempt. At first, I kept failing due to nervousness. Actually, you can take Subject 3 up to five times, with one official test per scheduled exam day and a free retake if you fail. If all five attempts are unsuccessful, you have to re-register and start from Subject 1, which wastes both time and money. A friend of mine passed on his fourth try—he advised practicing more on driving school’s simulated roads instead of relying solely on family cars, staying calm (unlike my shaky hands), and paying extra attention to details like lights and parking during practice to boost confidence on test day!
I understand that the driving test regulations are very clear: the third subject (Road Test) allows a maximum of five exam attempts, with each attempt including one main test on the day and possibly one retest. If all five attempts fail, the candidate must reapply and start over from the first subject (Theory Test). The limit on the number of attempts is to encourage everyone to take training seriously and avoid casual attempts. I recommend practicing more with the driving school's training car to familiarize yourself with road conditions before the exam, which can help reduce nervousness and mistakes during the test. In terms of costs, each exam attempt requires a fee, so being well-prepared can save a lot of money and time. Remember not to delay too long, as exceeding the time limit will require retaking the exam!
