There is a time limit for retaking the subject one test after the driver's license is temporarily suspended. You need to go to the traffic management department of the public security organ at the place where the motor vehicle driver's license was issued or where the illegal act occurred within 15 days to participate in a seven-day study of road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge. After completing the study, you must take the road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge test within 20 days. Tips for the subject one test: 1. Focus on understanding: The most difficult part of subject one might be the traffic police's hand signals, but it's not hard once you understand them. For example, the direction the traffic police officer is facing indicates the direction of the vehicles they are directing, and the direction of their hand movement shows the direction the vehicles in that lane should go. 2. Practice more questions: Remember to practice more questions before the test. But only do mock tests, and avoid going through thousands of questions as there are many duplicates. Just remember the key points, as the actual test questions are much easier than the mock ones.
I remember my cousin had his driver's license suspended for three months two years ago due to improper handling of a drunk driving incident. After the suspension ended, he was hesitant about when to retake the theory test (Subject 1). I checked the regulations and found that after the suspension period ends, there's no strict requirement to complete Subject 1 within a specific number of days—just apply within a reasonable timeframe. However, delaying too long might automatically change the license status to revoked, meaning you'd have to retake all driving tests from scratch, which is much more troublesome. The DMV generally recommends applying as soon as possible after the suspension ends, preferably within a month or two. The Subject 1 test covers theoretical questions, reviewing traffic rules like traffic light regulations and emergency procedures. A weekend of practice tests should suffice. Following traffic rules daily—no speeding, no drunk driving—helps avoid such issues. The test fee is affordable, just a few dozen yuan, so it's better to get it done sooner for peace of mind. Safety should always come first; accidents benefit no one.
