Is the Theory Test of Subject 3 the Same as Subject 4?
1 Answers
Subject 3's theory test can refer to Subject 4. Subject 4, also known as the Subject 4 theory test or driver theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. After the implementation of the Ministry of Public Security's Order No. 123, Subject 3 was divided into two parts: besides the road test, a safe and civilized driving test was added, commonly known as Subject 4. Therefore, it can be said that the theory test of Subject 3 is Subject 4. Currently, there are a total of 4 examination subjects for obtaining a driver's license: Subject 1 - Road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge test; Subject 2 - Field driving skills test; Subject 3 - Road driving skills test; and Subject 4 - Safe and civilized driving knowledge. The content and passing standards of these subjects are uniformly set nationwide. The examination sequence follows the order of Subject 1, 2, 3, and 4, and candidates can only proceed to the next subject after passing the current one. Among these, Subject 1 and Subject 4 assess theoretical knowledge through computer-based tests, while Subject 2 and Subject 3 evaluate practical driving skills through field and road driving tests. Subject 4 extracts knowledge related to safe and civilized driving requirements from the original Subject 1, including safe driving skills under complex conditions and emergency handling, and is conducted after the actual road driving test of Subject 3 to further assess the candidate's traffic awareness and quality.
