To visually assess the width of the parking space, check for any obstacles behind, whether there are parked vehicles on both sides, and if the length is suitable for your motorcycle model. If conditions permit, try to reverse from the left side when backing up. Maintain idle speed during reversing and promptly adjust the vehicle's alignment.

I've been riding motorcycles for many years, and when it comes to backing up, pushing is the most reliable method: grip the handlebars firmly with both hands, plant your feet firmly on the ground, and slowly step backward one step at a time, keeping the bike upright without tilting. If the bike has a reverse gear, like my big touring bike, just press that small button and gently shift into gear to easily back up—super convenient. Beginners are advised to practice first on flat, open ground, wearing a helmet and knee pads to avoid accidental falls. Avoid pushing the bike on slopes or uneven terrain, as the bike can easily lose control and tip over; if you really need to back up on a slope, it's best to get someone to help. Don't brake suddenly while pushing the bike; only let go once the bike is stable, or you might get hurt. After each backup, check if the chain and wheels are moving smoothly, and regular maintenance will make your rides more worry-free.

How long after completing Subject 3 can you take Subject 4?

There are three scenarios for the Subject 4 exam timing after passing Subject 3: taking it directly the same afternoon; no appointment needed within 9 days—you can take the Subject 4 exam at the test center within 9 days after passing Subject 3 by presenting your ID; third, scheduling after 10 days, where success depends on the current number of examinees, student priority, and temporary arrangements at the test center. Subject 4, also known as the Subject 4 theory test or driver theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. It includes requirements for safe and civilized driving operations, knowledge of safe driving under adverse weather and complex road conditions, emergency handling methods for situations like tire blowouts, and knowledge of post-accident procedures. Subject 4 exam notes: Exam duration: The exam lasts 45 minutes, and making mistakes totaling 12 points (6 questions) will terminate the session. Number of questions: 50 questions are drawn proportionally from the Subject 4 question bank based on the type of license being tested, with each question worth 2 points. Question types: The exam includes single-choice questions (including true/false questions) and multiple-choice questions, with questions presented as animations, images, scenario recognition, and text descriptions. Retake notes: Failing Subject 4 only requires retaking Subject 4, scheduled by the driving school, with no limit on retakes and no additional fees. Subject 4 exam tips: Strengthen weak areas by identifying the reasons for mistakes. For marked questions, don't just memorize the correct answer. Review regulations, textbooks, or reference materials to understand and internalize the reasons for errors. Categorize and summarize questions, referring to the question bank analysis for grouping and identifying similar questions: Many questions in the bank are similar and easily confused, requiring analysis. For example, traffic signs for walking, hiking, pedestrian caution, crosswalks, and crosswalk caution have similar patterns and can be confusing. Grouping them during study helps avoid mistakes. Use memory techniques: Many questions involve numbers, which can be summarized for easier recall. The driving test consists of three subjects: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3, with Subject 3 divided into two parts. Subject 4 is the colloquial term for the Subject 3 safe driving knowledge test and is not a separate subject. Subject 1 covers road traffic laws, regulations, and related knowledge; Subject 2 is the field driving skills test; Subject 3 includes road driving skills and safe driving knowledge. The safe driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject 3.

What to Bring for the Written Test (Subject 1)?

For the test, you only need to bring your ID card. The admission ticket and other documents are handled by the driving school, which will distribute them during the test. Electronic IDs are not accepted. If you don’t have an ID card, you can apply for a temporary ID, which holds the same validity as a regular ID. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," you are allowed two attempts for Subject 1 on the same day. If you fail the first attempt, you can retake it for free. If you fail the second attempt, the test will be terminated, and you must wait ten days before reapplying. The Subject 1 test consists of 100 questions, including multiple-choice and true/false questions, each worth 1 point, totaling 100 points. If you answer 11 questions incorrectly, the system will automatically submit your test and end the session. The test is computer-based and lasts 45 minutes. Subject 1 Test Content: Regulations on driver's licenses and motor vehicle management; Road traffic conditions and rules; Traffic violations and penalties; Road traffic accident handling regulations; Basic knowledge of motor vehicles; Local regulations; Knowledge of braking systems and safety devices for large and medium-sized passenger and freight vehicles; Specialized knowledge for wheeled self-propelled machinery, trams, and trolleybuses. Subject 1 Test Notes: Candidates should dress appropriately—no slippers allowed. Electronic devices and bags are prohibited in the test room. Bring your ID card and queue to enter the waiting hall. Observe the instructions and procedures displayed on the screen. Before entering the test room, store personal belongings in a locker. Inside, verify your identity at the assigned station, find your seat, and begin the test. Ensure the camera is aligned with you and follow test rules. If you fail the first attempt, you can retake it the same day. If you fail again, you must pay to reschedule. After the test, queue to collect and sign your score report—unsigned reports are invalid. There is no limit to the number of times you can reschedule Subject 1. If you fail the test, you can retake it once. If you skip the retake or fail again, the test is terminated, and you must reapply. In contrast, Subjects 2 and 3 allow only five attempts each. Scheduling for Subjects 2 and 3 must be done ten days later. If you fail the Subject 3 safety and civilized driving knowledge test, your passing score for the road driving skills test remains valid. The driving test consists of three subjects: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3. Subject 1 covers traffic laws, regulations, and related knowledge. Subject 2 is the field driving skills test. Subject 3 includes two parts: road driving skills and safety and civilized driving knowledge.
