Is the Safe and Civilized Driving Test the Same as Subject 4?

[SanHaley]

Safe and Civilized Driving Knowledge Test is Subject 4. Here are the specific details about Subject 4: 1. Concept: Subject 4 is an additional safe and civilized driving knowledge test added after the on-road test of Subject 3. Officially, there is no such term as 'Subject 4'. 2. Test Format: The test consists of 50 questions, primarily presented in the form of case studies, images, and animations. The full score is 100, with a passing score of 90. 3. Test Content: The main content of Subject 4 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 post-accident handling knowledge.

I just got my driver's license not long ago, and the safety and civilization test, which is the fourth subject, left a deep impression on me. The driving school instructor had us go through the question bank, which was entirely about common knowledge of safe driving, such as the dangers of drunk driving, yielding to pedestrians, and handling emergencies. While reviewing, I found it quite easy because the questions were about things you need to pay attention to while driving normally. However, during the actual test, I was really afraid of making mistakes, as it directly relates to real-life driving habits. Later, when I actually hit the road, I truly understood the importance of this knowledge: it helped me avoid rear-end collisions and maintain patience in traffic jams. I highly recommend that beginners take this seriously—it’s not just a hurdle to getting a license but also directly cultivates safe driving habits. After passing, I often chat with friends about this and find that many overlook these details, ending up with traffic tickets as a result.

As a seasoned driving instructor who has trained dozens of batches of students, I can definitively say that the Safe and Civilized Driving Test is indeed the core part of Subject 4. It focuses on testing driving etiquette awareness and rule comprehension, unlike the first three subjects which are more hands-on. However, theoretical questions like traffic sign recognition and emergency handling test long-term safety awareness more thoroughly. Students often ask me for exam preparation tips, and I always recommend using question apps to simulate real exams, paying special attention to trick questions like blind spot warnings or speeding calculations. Although this test may seem simple, it effectively instills safety awareness. In my actual teaching, I combine case studies of accidents to help students understand how a small oversight, like not wearing a seatbelt, can lead to major consequences. With more and more vehicles on the road now, civilized driving is not just empty talk.

As a parent, I accompanied my child last year while he was preparing for the Safe and Civilized Driving Test—yes, it’s the so-called Subject Four. The exam content is highly practical, covering everyday driving rules such as speed control in rainy weather and yielding at intersections. From a family perspective, I believe this training fosters a sense of responsibility. Since passing the test, my child has become more cautious behind the wheel, and his previous impatient tendencies have improved significantly. Now, during family trips when he’s driving, I often bring up exam topics to reinforce safety points, like proper child seat installation or avoiding driving while fatigued. Though it’s just a theoretical test, it subtly strengthens a culture of safety.
