The contents of Subjects 1, 2, 3, and 4 in the driving test are as follows: 1. Subject 1: Mainly tests basic knowledge such as road traffic safety laws and regulations, traffic signals and their meanings, and traffic rules. With the new driving test regulations, Subject 1 is divided into 12 study hours, and students must complete all study hours before they can schedule the Subject 1 test. 2. Subject 2: Requires practical driving practice, with five mandatory test items: reversing into a parking space, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, turning at a right angle, and driving on a curved path. Some regions may have additional items. 3. Subject 3: Road test, usually practiced at a driving school. The instructor teaches students 16 essential skills required for the test, after which they can schedule the test. The main test items include starting, driving straight, shifting gears, changing lanes, pulling over, passing through intersections straight, turning left at intersections, turning right at intersections, crossing pedestrian crossings, passing through school zones, passing through bus stops, meeting other vehicles, overtaking, making U-turns, and driving at night—totaling 16 items. 4. Subject 4: Theoretical knowledge test, building on the basics of Subject 1, it assesses the driver's response methods in critical situations through more practical case studies and animations.
When I first got my driver's license, I remember the first subject was the theoretical test, mainly memorizing traffic regulations and safety knowledge, answering multiple-choice questions on a computer. This part was quite boring, but I had to buckle down and memorize it well, otherwise failing would affect the subsequent steps. The second subject was the hardest for me—it tested driving skills in a controlled area, like parallel parking and stopping on a slope. I made a lot of mistakes when I first practiced, but thanks to the instructor's guidance, I eventually got the hang of it. The third subject was the road test, driving directly on the road with an examiner sitting beside me—super stressful! It focused on lane changes, turns, and safety awareness. The fourth subject was the safety and civility knowledge test, similar to the first but more focused on courteous behavior in real driving scenarios, like yielding to pedestrians or handling emergencies. The whole process must be taken step by step. My advice for beginners is to find a reliable instructor, don’t rush through the steps, and always prioritize safety!
