Is There a Fee for the Safety and Civility Knowledge Test in Subject Three?
3 Answers
There is a fee. The Subject Three examination includes both the road driving skills test and the safety and civility driving knowledge test. Below are the relevant details: 1. Driver's Examination: The driver's examination (motor vehicle driver's examination) is a qualification test organized by the Vehicle Management Office of the Public Security Bureau. Only by passing the driver's examination can one obtain a driver's license and legally operate motor vehicles. 2. Examination Content: The motor vehicle driver's examination content is divided into the theoretical test on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge (referred to as 'Subject One'), the field driving skills test (referred to as 'Subject Two'), the road driving skills test (referred to as 'Subject Three'), and the theoretical test on safety and civility driving knowledge (referred to as 'Subject Four'). The examination content and passing standards are uniformly set nationwide, with corresponding examination items specified according to different types of vehicles eligible for driving.
As a new driver who just passed the driving test, I don’t need to pay separately for the Subject 3 Safety and Civilization Knowledge Exam because a lump sum fee was paid when enrolling in the driving school, covering all test subjects. My coach confirmed that the fee includes both theoretical and practical parts from Subject 1 to Subject 4, and the Safety and Civilization section is just a written test with no extra payment required. The key is to prepare well by practicing the publicly available question bank, and just bring your ID card when taking the test. If unsure, calling the local traffic management office is the most reliable option. Anyway, my driving school covered everything.
From my understanding of the industry, the payment is usually settled during the driving school registration phase, and the safety and civilization knowledge fees are generally included. I've seen too many students worrying about this separately—it's unnecessary as the fee structure is designed to cover the entire process. Make sure your driving school contract clearly states this, and check the invoice. Although the exam syllabus has changed significantly, the charging principles remain the same. If you're still concerned, contact the driving school or test center to verify the bill. This written test isn't difficult; just memorize the rules to pass, and don't waste money unnecessarily.
