How soon can you reapply after failing Subject 2 five times?
2 Answers
You can immediately reapply after failing the driving test Subject 2 five times. Relevant explanations are as follows: 1. Regulations: According to Article 37 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses" (Ministry of Public Security Order No. 123): "Within the validity period of the driving skill test permit, the number of scheduled tests for Subject 2 and Subject 3 road driving skills tests shall not exceed five times. If the fifth scheduled test is still failed, the results of other subjects that have passed the test will be invalidated." 2. Suggestions: In accordance with the requirements of the Ministry of Public Security, the driving management department will cancel the applicant's application information. The applicant needs to reapply and schedule the test starting from Subject 1. Therefore, it is recommended that applicants strengthen training and practice driving, truly master driving skills before taking the test, cherish the test opportunities, and avoid losses caused by failing the test five times.
When I was learning to drive, I failed the Subject 2 test five times and was extremely anxious. Later, I asked the driving school and found out that the rule is to wait for 10 working days before re-registering for the exam. I didn’t waste those 10 days—I went to the training ground every day to simulate the test environment, focusing especially on hill starts and reverse parking, as my previous failures were mostly due to crossing lines or stalling. The DMV sets this waiting period to give students time to reflect on their mistakes and relax their mindset, so don’t stress. Make good use of the time to review your errors, watch instructional videos, or take extra lessons with the instructor. After ten days, register and try again—your chances of success will be much higher. The driving test emphasizes safety, and staying calm leads to better results. You’ll definitely pass next time!
