The examination contents of Subject 1, 2, 3, and 4 in the driver's license test are as follows: 1. Subject 1: Primarily tests basic knowledge such as road traffic safety laws and regulations, traffic signals and their meanings, and traffic rules. With the new regulations, Subject 1 is now divided into 12 study hours, and students must complete all hours before they can schedule the Subject 1 exam. 2. Subject 2: This involves practical driving skills, with five mandatory test items: reversing into a parking space, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, right-angle turns, and curve driving. Some regions may include additional items. 3. Subject 3: Road test, usually practiced at driving schools. The instructor teaches students 16 essential skills required for the test, after which they can schedule the exam. The test includes starting, driving straight, gear shifting, changing lanes, pulling over, passing through intersections (straight, left, and right turns), crossing pedestrian crossings, passing school zones and bus stops, meeting oncoming traffic, overtaking, making U-turns, and night driving. 4. Subject 4: A theoretical knowledge test that builds on the basics of Subject 1, using more real-life scenarios and animations to assess the driver's response methods in emergency situations.
It's been a few years since I got my driver's license. Looking back, the written test (Subject 1) was the most grueling—I had to memorize all the traffic laws, signs, and signals. The exam was entirely multiple-choice and true/false questions, with a large number of items, and you needed at least 90% to pass. Subject 2 was the closed-course driving test. During practice, parallel parking and reverse parking made my arms sore, and the instructor always emphasized the importance of hand-foot coordination. Subject 3, the road test, was the most nerve-wracking, with the examiner sitting beside me scrutinizing every move. I had to handle various road conditions like lane changes and intersections—one mistake could mean failing. Subject 4 tested safe and civilized driving through video scenarios and a written exam, focusing on driving ethics and emergency response, which felt more practical than Subject 1. Overall, I think Subjects 2 and 3 were the real tests of driving skills. Practicing mock exams during training helped avoid detours, and extra caution was needed during night practice for safety.
