There are five opportunities to retake Subject 3. Below is relevant information: Additional Information: Subject 3, also known as the road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license . It refers to the road driving skills and safe civilized driving knowledge test in the motor vehicle driver's examination. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," the rules are as follows: Each subject test can be taken once, and if the test is failed, it can be retaken once. Reform: On October 1, 2017, after the implementation of the new regulations, known as the "strictest in history," for the actual road driving test of Subject 3, the new regulations stipulate that 13 situations, such as "failing to observe the inner and outer rearview mirrors and turning back to observe the traffic conditions before starting" and "unreasonable control of driving speed when changing lanes, hindering the normal driving of other vehicles," will result in immediate failure, which indeed increased the difficulty.

Of course, there is a chance to retake the Subject 3 test. When I was getting my driver's license, I was extremely nervous and failed the first time because I forgot to check the rearview mirror while changing lanes. Later, my instructor advised me not to rush into scheduling the retest and instead spent three days intensively practicing my weak areas with him. You can retake the test up to five times, with at least a 10-day interval between each attempt, but each retest requires paying the exam fee and simulation site fee again. Remember to practice the test route multiple times before the exam, and rehearse the light operations and parallel parking several times—failing is often just a matter of mindset. During my second retake, I took deep breaths to relax and ended up passing with a perfect score!

Don't lose heart if you failed the driving test (Subject 3), you can retake it. My friend passed on the third attempt - first time failed for crossing lines during straight driving, second time got brake-tapped by the examiner. Each retake costs about 200 RMB with a 10-day waiting period. The key is reviewing mistakes with your instructor, like focusing far ahead during straight driving to detect slight steering wheel vibrations, and not releasing brakes immediately after curb parking. Avoid morning slots when roads are emptier as it's easier to overspeed. Renting the test car for two practice laps before each retake worked best - I passed smoothly using this method on my final attempt.

There are plenty of chances for the Subject 3 retest! You can take it up to 5 times at most, and if you really can't pass, you can re-enroll in the driving school. The retest fee mainly consists of two parts: the retest fee charged by the examination center is 160 yuan, and the pick-up fee charged by the driving school is 50-100 yuan. Note that if you fail continuously, don't push too hard; it's recommended to take a week off to adjust your mindset and find a private coach for targeted training. It's advisable to take the test on a rainy day when there are fewer non-motorized vehicles on the road to cause interference. The current examination system is stricter; making one mistake in the lighting test will directly deduct 100 points. Using a mobile app to practice before the test is super helpful.

There are five retake opportunities if you fail Subject 3, but you have to pay each time. The key is to remember the pain points of failing: some people fail due to minor details like forgetting to signal when changing lanes, while others fail at pulling over to the curb. During the retake interval, be sure to grab night training slots on the driving school APP—practicing at the test site at night doubles the effectiveness. If you encounter a safety officer who frequently brakes, avoid his shift when scheduling your next test. One girl took four attempts to figure it out: maintaining a steady speed is more important than driving too slow, and by her fourth try, her downshifting was rock solid.

There is indeed a limit to the number of retakes for Subject 3, just pass it within 5 attempts. During the retake, don't just focus on the previous mistakes, such as the issue of the car rolling back at intersections. It's recommended to wear thin-soled shoes for better clutch control. After the system upgrade, the randomness of light operations has increased, so it's advisable to handwrite and memorize all 12 light combinations before the test. Don't get overcharged for the retake fee; keep the official two-part receipt. If you encounter heavy rain, you can apply to cancel the exam, which won't count towards the attempt limit. My cousin used this trick to secure more practice time.
