Is There a Time Limit Between Subject 1 and Subject 3?

There is a time limit between Subject 1 and Subject 3. The specific timeframes are as follows: 1. Subject 1 and Subject 3: You must wait at least 30 days after passing Subject 1 before you can schedule the Subject 3 exam. 2. Subject 1 and Subject 2: You can schedule Subject 2 after at least 10 days from Subject 1. Relevant information about Subject 1 and Subject 3 is as follows: 1. Subject 1: Also known as the theoretical test or driver's theory test, it is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," the exam content includes driving theory fundamentals, road safety laws and regulations, local regulations, and related knowledge. 2. Subject 3: It is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment and is the abbreviation for the road driving skills and safe civilized driving common sense test.

I've taught many students, and the time limit for the driving test is a common concern. There is indeed a time limit for Subject 1 and Subject 3. It starts from the day you pass Subject 1, and the entire driving test process must be completed within three years. This deadline is stipulated in the traffic regulations. If you exceed the time limit, all previously passed test results will be invalidated, and you'll have to re-register, pay the fees, and start with Subject 1 again. I advise students to schedule their subsequent tests as soon as possible after obtaining the driving study certificate, especially since test slots are currently in high demand, and sometimes you have to queue up for an appointment. I have friends who waited until the third year to take Subject 3, and the pressure was immense—they almost exceeded the deadline. So, arranging things early is the most worry-free approach.

Last year when I got my driver's license, I paid special attention to this timeline. The driving school clearly told us that after passing Subject 1, they would issue a Study Driving Certificate with exactly a three-year validity period. Within this timeframe, you must complete Subjects 2, 3, and 4, otherwise all previous efforts would be wasted. I started practicing Subject 3 four months after passing Subject 1, and every time I got in the car, the instructor reminded me how many days were left. Actually, it's best to study Subject 3 right after Subject 2 for better continuity in driving feel, which makes passing easier. If there's too long a gap between them, even shifting gears might feel unfamiliar, increasing the risk of failing retests.

Recently, I was preparing to enroll in a driving school and specifically researched this regulation. After passing the written test (Subject 1), you have three years to complete all the remaining tests, including the road test (Subject 3). If you fail to complete Subject 3 within three years, your Subject 1 results will be reset, and you'll have to start over. Busy professionals should pay special attention to this—my colleague learned this the hard way. He passed Subject 1, worked out of town for two years, and when he returned, he had to pay and register again. I recommend setting a reminder on your phone or regularly checking the remaining time on the traffic management app "12123." The earlier you complete the tests, the better—delaying might mean facing stricter rules later on.
