Is it mandatory to perform traffic duty before scheduling Subject 4?

It is mandatory to perform traffic duty before scheduling Subject 4. Traffic duty procedure: After passing Subject 2 and before applying for Subject 3, applicants need to register at the traffic police station and complete one day of duty before they can schedule the exam. The driving school will arrange the registration process in advance - applicants simply need to register, and the traffic police will assign the duty. Reason for traffic duty: The "Temporary Regulations on Traffic Safety Practice Education for Driving Students" stipulates that all driving school students under 40 years old must participate in one traffic duty activity, lasting 1-2 hours per day, mainly at urban intersections and bus stops. Each driving school is allocated a quota for traffic duty, and schools must fulfill their monthly quota by sending students to perform this duty.

I just got my driver's license last year, so I'm very familiar with the process of scheduling the Subject 4 exam. Honestly, Subject 4 is just a theory test on safety and civilized driving knowledge—you can finish it with a few clicks on the computer, and there's absolutely no need for standing guard during the scheduling. Standing guard is usually a volunteer activity required before the Subject 3 road test; some cities may ask trainees to stand on duty for a few hours before they can schedule the exam, but that has nothing to do with Subject 4. When I took it, I scheduled the time directly through the driving school app—it was super fast. As long as you passed Subject 3 and got the approval, you could immediately pick a date. Local policies might vary, so I suggest checking the official website of your local DMV or asking your driving school instead of worrying unnecessarily about standing guard. The Subject 4 test consists of multiple-choice questions—just practice on a question bank app a few times, and you’re guaranteed to pass on the first try, saving both time and effort.

I just got my driver's license not long ago. From what I remember, booking the subject four test was a breeze—no need for traffic duty at all. That standing guard thing is usually for beginners during the early learning stages, and some places use it as a social practice activity. For subject four, you just need to pass subject three, then you can handle everything online. I got it done in a few minutes on my phone and scheduled the test for the next day. A friend taking the test in another city mentioned there were traffic duty rules, but those were for subject three. Subject four is just answering questions and taking the test—no need to worry. If you can't book it, it might be due to incomplete documents or a busy system; just wait a bit and don't stress. Cramming practice questions before the test is crucial. Use the 'Driving Test Prep' app to go through several sets of questions. You can see your score right after the test, then quickly get your license and hit the road—how great is that?

Based on my years of experience helping people with driving tests, the subject four appointment has nothing to do with the guard duty. Guard duty is usually a local requirement before subject three, but it's not mandatory. Subject four is a pure theoretical test with simple booking conditions. As long as you pass subject three and the review is approved, you can make an appointment. Don't be scared by rumors. The most reliable way is to check your local regulations directly.
