What are the retake rules for the Subject 2 driving test?
2 Answers
The number of test appointments cannot exceed 5 times. If you still fail the fifth test, the previously passed test scores will be invalidated. Below is relevant information about Subject 2: 1. Concept: Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment and is the abbreviation for the field driving skills test subject. It involves mastering basic driving operation essentials, possessing fundamental abilities to control the vehicle; proficiently mastering basic methods of field and road driving within the test area, having the capability to reasonably use vehicle control components and correctly control the spatial position of the vehicle, and being able to accurately control the vehicle's driving position, speed, and route. 2. Test items: The small car C1/C2 test items include five mandatory tests: reverse parking, parallel parking, hill start, right-angle turn, and curve driving (commonly known as S-turn) (some regions also include a sixth item: high-speed toll card collection).
I failed the Subject 2 driving test when getting my license, so I immediately signed up for a retake. The rule is: after each failure, you get two retake opportunities, totaling three attempts. Exceeding that means reapplying from scratch. The fees aren't cheap—100-200 yuan per attempt—plus you have to wait for the driving school to schedule it. My advice: practice early, stay calm, as hill starts are the easiest to fail. If you fail consecutively, remember the learning permit is valid for one year—miss it and you'll have to repay for lessons. My retake experience taught me that practicing more with an instructor is the surest way to pass. Rules vary by location, so confirm with your driving school—don't procrastinate like I did. More practice and a relaxed mindset will get you there eventually.
