Fingerprinting is not required for the Subject One exam, only a valid ID card is needed. Please note that expired ID cards cannot be used. The total duration of the Subject One exam is 45 minutes. The test paper consists of 100 questions, including true/false and single-choice questions. The exam papers are randomly selected and combined by the computer-based driver examination system according to the proportion specified in the "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Work Regulations". Subject One exam content: The exam content includes the most fundamental knowledge such as driving theory basics, road safety laws and regulations, traffic signals, traffic rules, plus local regulations. The scheduling of the theoretical driver's test is arranged independently by local vehicle management offices. Subject One exam precautions: Bring and present your ID card for verification by the supervising officer; mobile phones must be turned off when entering the exam area; no loud talking is permitted in the exam area; theory textbooks are not allowed in the examination room (or should be kept in your bag).

I just passed the written test (Subject 1) and want to share some tips. For Subject 1, fingerprinting isn't required—just bring your ID card. Swipe it at the entrance and you're in. The process is straightforward. When I took it, I queued up, staff just verified my ID, then I sat at a computer to answer questions. Don't overthink the fingerprint thing—Subject 1 is purely a written test on traffic rules, no physical activity involved. I recommend downloading a driving test app to practice, as the question bank updates frequently (e.g., new e-bike regulations were added last year). Test centers usually require arriving 30 minutes early—don't be late or you might get turned away. Stay relaxed, treat it lightly, and you'll pass.

I've been driving for many years. Looking back to when I took the subject one test, fingerprinting wasn't required at all. Identity verification through ID card scanning was sufficient for this theoretical exam. As a basic written test, subject one was designed with a simple and efficient process, mainly to prevent cheating without being overly complicated. Fingerprint recording for marking positions might only be necessary for subsequent subject two practical tests. During the exam, keep a clear mind and review the latest traffic regulations thoroughly, as new content like shared bicycles has been added. Remember to bring your ID card and a printed exam admission ticket to the test center, just in case some places conduct random checks. Don't stress too much during the preparation process; just go through the study materials or video tutorials a few more times.

As a parent, my child is preparing for the written driving test (Subject 1). I consulted a friend at the driving school and confirmed that fingerprinting isn't required. The child just needs to bring their ID card, as the test center uses machines for identity verification. This stage is purely theoretical with no complex operations. I reminded my child to practice with mock tests at home to ensure passing on the first attempt and avoid the hassle of retaking. On exam day, leave early to avoid traffic, stay relaxed, and don't rush off after finishing—double-check the score before signing out. Safety comes first, and this foundation will make future driving lessons smoother.
