1 Answers
The "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses" clearly stipulates the contents of the Subject 1 exam: laws, regulations, and rules on road traffic safety; traffic signals and their meanings; knowledge of safe driving and civilized driving; safe driving knowledge under conditions such as highways, mountainous roads, bridges, tunnels, nighttime, adverse weather, and complex road conditions; emergency handling knowledge in situations like tire blowouts, steering failure, and brake failure; general structure of motor vehicles, common knowledge of main safety devices, and basic knowledge of daily inspection and maintenance; basic knowledge of self-rescue and first aid after traffic accidents, as well as common hazardous materials. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," the Subject 1 exam consists of 100 questions, divided into single-choice and true/false questions, with each question worth 1 point and a total score of 100. If 11 questions are answered incorrectly during the exam, the system will automatically submit the paper and end the exam. Subject 1, also known as the Subject 1 theoretical exam or driver's theoretical exam, is part of the motor vehicle driving license assessment. The exam content includes theoretical driving basics, road safety laws and regulations, local regulations, and related knowledge. The exam is conducted on a computer with a time limit of 45 minutes. Notes for the Subject 1 exam: Candidates should pay attention to their attire during the exam; no slippers are allowed, and electronic devices and bags are prohibited in the exam room. Bring your ID card and queue to enter the waiting hall. Observe the precautions and procedures on the large screen, and store personal items in a locker before entering the exam room. Upon entering, the identity verification station will assign a seat. After finding your seat, begin the exam. Ensure the camera is aligned with you and adhere to exam discipline. If you fail the first attempt, a retake is available on the same day. If you fail again, you must pay and reschedule. After the exam, queue to collect your score report and sign it; unsigned reports are invalid. There is no limit to the number of times you can schedule the Subject 1 exam. Each subject can be taken once, and if you fail, you can retake it once. If you do not attend the retake or fail the retake, the exam process ends, and the applicant must reschedule. In contrast, Subject 2 and Subject 3 only allow five attempts each. Subject 2 and Subject 3 exams can be rescheduled after ten days. If you fail the Subject 3 safe and civilized driving knowledge test, the previously passed road driving skills test results remain valid. There are three subjects in the driving test: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3. Subject 1 refers to the exam on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge. Subject 2 refers to the field driving skills test. Subject 3 is divided into two parts: road driving skills and safe and civilized driving knowledge. The safe and civilized driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject 3, so it is commonly referred to as Subject 4. However, the official term (as per the Ministry of Public Security Order No. 123) does not include "Subject 4."
