How many years does the first driver's license exam expire?
2 Answers
For the first driver's license exam, it is generally valid for 3 years after passing the subject one test. If the exam exceeds three years, all results will be invalidated. Below is the relevant introduction to the driver's license exam: Content: After completing the subject one test, the subject two and subject three tests should be passed within three years. If they cannot be passed, the exam content will be invalidated, and you should re-register for the subject one test. After the new exam regulations, both subject two and subject three have five attempts. If you cannot pass the exam within five attempts, you will need to retake the subject one test. Order: The order of the exam subjects is as follows: traffic regulations and related knowledge (referred to as subject one [theory]), field driving (referred to as subject two [nine items]), and road driving (referred to as subject three [road test and safe civilized driving]).
When I first got my driver's license, I was super excited because I could finally drive on my own. The license is valid for six years, so you have to be careful not to forget to renew it before it expires. I remember that about three months before the expiration date, the driving management system sends a text reminder, but sometimes the notification can be missed—I almost forgot to renew once and nearly got fined during a parking check. For renewal, you just need a simple medical check-up, submit a few photos and copies, and the process is quite convenient—usually done on the spot. Keeping your license valid is crucial for safe driving, as driving with an expired license can lead to points deduction or even revocation. I recommend setting a phone calendar reminder or checking the app regularly. In fact, checking the date before each drive is a good habit to avoid last-minute issues. Also, if you're still in the probationary period, it's even more important to strictly follow the rules to prevent accidents. Overall, the driver's license is one of the core documents for safe driving, and timely management can save a lot of trouble.
