How to Calculate the 10-Day Waiting Period After Failing the Driving Test (Subject 3)?
2 Answers
If you fail the Subject 3 driving test, you must wait at least 10 days (including weekends) before reapplying for the exam. Below is an introduction to Subject 3: 1. Subject 3: Also known as the Road Safety Driving Test, it is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment, specifically referring to the road driving skills and safe civilized driving knowledge test. The content varies depending on the type of vehicle license. 2. Subject 3 Test Items: Preparation before driving, simulated light test, starting, driving in a straight line, shifting gears, changing lanes, pulling over, driving straight through intersections, turning left at intersections, turning right at intersections, passing crosswalks, passing school zones, passing bus stops, meeting other vehicles, overtaking, making U-turns, and nighttime driving. The safe civilized driving knowledge test includes: safe 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.
When it comes to calculating the 10-day waiting period after failing the Level 3 driving test, I know it quite well. Essentially, it starts from the day you failed the test, but the counting doesn't begin on that same day. Instead, the first day is counted from the following day, and by the 10th day, you can reschedule your test. For example, if you failed on a Monday, Tuesday would be considered Day 1, and the 10th day would be the following Thursday, when you can go ahead and book your test. I always emphasize that these 10 days are a valuable buffer period—don’t just wait idly. Make the most of it: practice more with your instructor, especially focusing on the mistakes you made last time, like failing to signal when changing lanes or improper parking; review driving test videos to refine your skills; and adjust your mindset—don’t lose heart. When rescheduling, do it as early as possible because driving schools have limited slots, and even after securing a spot, you might still have to wait for the actual test date. The key is to develop safe driving habits right from the test—that way, you’ll pass smoothly next time.
