Is it serious to miss the subject 4 exam?
2 Answers
There is no significant impact. Missing the exam is equivalent to failing, and you can simply retake the exam normally next time. Exam content: Includes safe and civilized driving operation requirements, safe driving knowledge under adverse weather and complex road conditions, emergency handling methods for situations like tire blowouts, and knowledge on handling traffic accidents. Notes: Failing the subject 4 exam does not require retaking the previously passed subjects (subject 1, subject 2, subject 3). You can schedule a retake on your own, and no retake fee is required. There are no scheduling restrictions for the safe and civilized driving theory exam, but the driving skill test permit is valid for three years. If the applicant does not complete the exam within the validity period, the passed subject scores will be invalidated.
As a driving school instructor, I've seen too many students miss their exams due to carelessness. The most direct impact of missing the Subject 4 exam is having to reschedule. The Traffic Management 12123 system will automatically count it as one absence, directly wasting an exam opportunity. Although the new driving test regulations allow up to five attempts each for Subjects 2 and 3, Subject 4 shares the maximum number of booking attempts with Subject 1, totaling only five chances. What's more troublesome is that some places require retaking the necessary training hours before rescheduling a makeup exam, which significantly delays getting the license. I recommend setting an alarm three days before the exam and checking the route and bringing all required documents on the day. Missing the exam isn't the worst, but waiting in vain for ten days or half a month really affects your mindset.
