What are the items in the A1 driving test?
2 Answers
There are four subjects in the driving license test. The details are as follows: 1. Subject 1: Road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge test; 2. Subject 2: Field driving skills test; 3. Subject 3: Road driving skills test; 4. Subject 4: Safe and civilized driving common sense test. Small road test items: The small road test includes single-plank bridge, parallel parking, bumpy road, width-limited gate, simulated tunnel, simulated highway, emergency stop, S-curve, obstacle avoidance, hill start, narrow road U-turn, simulated mountain road, right-angle turn, and slippery road surface.
I still remember the test items clearly when I just passed my A1 driver's license exam. First, you have to pass the theoretical part—both Subject 1 and Subject 4 are theory tests, covering traffic regulations and common knowledge that must be memorized. The most grueling part was the field test: aside from basics like single-plank bridge and right-angle turns, the continuous obstacle course required driving a bus over round discs, and the narrow-road U-turn was a real test of nerves. The road test was more practical, from checking lights at startup to slowing down in school zones, and even turning on fog lights in rainy or foggy conditions. The hardest part was the night test—suddenly encountering a road without streetlights and having to switch between high and low beams as naturally as breathing. After passing, all I could say was: those who can drive buses are absolute beasts.
