2 Answers
You have five attempts to pass the driving license Subject 3 test. Here is some relevant information about the driving test Subject 3: Introduction: Subject 3 includes the road driving skills test and the safe and civilized driving knowledge test. It is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment and is the abbreviation for the road driving skills and safe and civilized driving knowledge test in the motor vehicle driver's test. The content of the road driving skills test varies depending on the type of vehicle you are licensed to drive. Specific test content for Subject 3: The road driving skills test generally includes: vehicle preparation, simulated lighting test, starting, driving in a straight line, gear shifting operations, changing lanes, pulling over, driving straight through intersections, left turns at intersections, right turns at intersections, crossing pedestrian crosswalks, passing school zones, passing bus stops, meeting other vehicles, overtaking, making U-turns, and nighttime driving. The safe and civilized driving knowledge test generally includes: requirements for safe and civilized driving operations, safe driving knowledge under adverse weather and complex road conditions, emergency handling methods for situations such as tire blowouts, and post-accident handling knowledge.
I remember being particularly nervous about the third subject when I was getting my driver's license, as it tested actual road driving skills. In our area, there's no strict upper limit on the number of attempts for the third subject—you can keep retaking it until you pass. However, each failure requires an additional retake fee, usually around a few hundred yuan, and you must wait at least a week before scheduling another attempt. If you fail too many times in a row, say more than five, the driving school might suggest you revisit the second subject or take some extra lessons, mainly for safety reasons to avoid blind retesting. I think the key is to practice simulated driving more, familiarize yourself with the test points like parallel parking and lane-changing details, and not just focus on the number of attempts—improving driving skills is the core. After all, the test is for road safety. Passing on the first try is ideal, but if you encounter difficulties, it's okay to be patient and try a few more times. Everyone goes through this process.
