What are the new driving test regulations in 2021?
2 Answers
Here are the new driving test regulations for 2021: 1. Adjustment of test subjects: For small automatic transmission vehicles, the "slope fixed-point parking and starting" item has been removed from Subject 2 of the test, reducing the test content from the original 5 items to 4. 2. Adjustment of the number of cross-regional subject tests: For applicants of small car driving licenses, the number of times allowed to apply for changing the test location has been adjusted from 1 time to no more than 3 times, in order to meet the needs of the public for cross-regional tests. 3. Optimization of agency services: Window services have established green channels or special windows for the elderly, providing them with free agency services.
Last year, I happened to be learning to drive at a driving school and personally experienced the 2021 regulation changes. The most noticeable adjustments were in the theory test and practical driving components. The question bank for the theory test was updated significantly, adding topics like civilized driving and emergency handling, emphasizing safety awareness. The second subject (field test) also introduced new elements—for instance, hill-start procedures became stricter, and the reverse parking test now has a time limit but with more standardized operations. It took me about two weeks to adapt, but the upside is that these new rules help cultivate better driving habits and reduce accidents. The third subject (road test) strengthened requirements like yielding to pedestrians and proper lane-changing observations, with examiners paying closer attention to details. Overall, the new regulations promote more professional driver training, but it’s crucial not to just focus on mechanical operations during practice—simulating real-world scenarios is highly important.
