Is there any issue if I don't attend the scheduled Subject 4 test?

If you don't attend the scheduled Subject 4 test, it will be marked as a failure. There are no other consequences. Here is relevant information: 1. Concept: Subject 4 is an additional safety and civilization knowledge test beyond the Subject 3 road test. Officially, there is no Subject 4. 2. Test content: The exam consists of 50 questions, primarily in the form of case studies, images, and animations, with a perfect score of 100 and a passing score of 90. The main test content of Subject 4 includes safety and civilized driving operation requirements, safe driving knowledge under adverse weather and complex road conditions, emergency handling methods for situations like tire blowouts, and post-accident handling knowledge.
When I was getting my driver's license, I also scheduled the subject four test. That day, I had an emergency and couldn't make it, resulting in being marked as absent once. The driving school said I had to wait two weeks to reschedule and also fined me 50 yuan. At the time, I felt quite wronged, especially since the exam fee wasn't cheap. Later, I learned that too many absences could affect future scheduling and might even require an explanation at the DMV. Subject four isn't actually difficult; spending some time reviewing the questions should be enough to pass. It's best not to skip it casually to avoid wasting time. If you really can't make it, call the driving school in advance to ask how to cancel, which can save a lot of trouble. Overall, if you've made plans, try your best to go; it helps the driver's license process go more smoothly.
From a financial perspective, skipping a scheduled Subject 4 exam will definitely cost you. I did this once and ended up being fined 80 yuan, plus having to repay the registration fee, totaling nearly 200 yuan gone. What's even more annoying is that the system records no-show instances, and accumulating too many may require waiting longer to schedule the next exam, affecting your overall progress. Getting a driver's license already involves significant expenses—fuel costs, training fees, and more—so missing an exam without good reason is truly not worth it. It's advisable to plan your schedule carefully before booking an exam. If you really can't make it, contact the driving school early to complete the necessary procedures and avoid extra costs. In short, don't take it lightly—proper preparation is always the right approach to avoid ruining your exam opportunities.
