What Does the Driving License Subject 4 Exam Cover?

The assessment content includes: safe and civilized driving operation requirements, safe driving knowledge under adverse weather and complex road conditions, emergency handling methods for situations like tire blowouts, and post-accident handling knowledge. Below is a partial introduction to Subject 4: 1. Subject 4, also known as the Subject 4 theoretical exam or driver theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. 2. After the implementation of the Ministry of Public Security's Order No. 123, the Subject 3 exam was divided into two parts: in addition to the road test, a safety and common sense exam was added, commonly referred to as "Subject 4," which assesses "driving ethics."

Last time I took the subject four test left a deep impression on me, as the exam content mainly focused on safe driving knowledge. The computer randomly selected 50 questions, including single-choice, multiple-choice, and true/false questions, with a full score of 100 and a passing mark of 90. Key areas to focus on include: common sense of safe driving such as the use of lights in different road conditions and how to handle breakdowns on highways; driving ethics like yielding to ambulances and avoiding splashing pedestrians on rainy days; measures for extreme weather conditions such as preventing skidding in heavy rain and how to use lights in foggy conditions; procedures for handling traffic accidents like methods to protect accident scenes and first aid knowledge for the injured; and the identification of traffic signs and markings, especially easily confused prohibition signs and indication signs, which also require thorough review. During the exam, missing even one option in multiple-choice questions counts as wrong, so extra caution is needed.

My cousin just finished the fourth subject test, and he said the questions focus more on practical driving than the first subject. It mainly tests five modules: complex road condition driving skills such as speed limits in tunnels and distance control during encounters; emergency handling like how to hold the steering wheel during a tire blowout and how to downshift to slow down in case of brake failure; civilized driving behaviors such as the rules for yielding to school buses; traffic signal applications, especially the timing for entering left-turn waiting zones; and also the penalties for drunk driving and the point deduction rules for driver's licenses are must-test items. He recommends using the 'Driving Test Treasure' APP to brush up on the latest question bank, as many questions test the driver's psychological quality, such as the correct mindset when encountering other vehicles cutting in.

As someone who has dealt with traffic accidents, I find the Subject 4 driving test very practical. It primarily assesses risk anticipation skills—using animated questions to test candidates' ability to identify hazards in scenarios. Secondly, it evaluates legal responsibility awareness: consequences of hit-and-run, penalties for overloading, and the legal costs of driving with a suspended license. It also covers basic vehicle knowledge, such as the function of ABS anti-lock braking systems and the optimal adjustment position for safety headrests. One often-overlooked detail in the exam is the regulations on horn usage in different situations, including alternative handling methods when encountering emergencies in urban no-honking zones.

I remember being extremely nervous on the day of my Subject 4 test. The actual questions were all about practical knowledge concerning life safety. There were three key categories: first, judging right-of-way on roads, such as who yields to whom at intersections without traffic signals; second, protective measures for vulnerable road users, like speed reduction requirements when encountering elderly or children crossing the street; third, handling sudden vehicle malfunctions—one question tested that you mustn't slam on brakes during steering failure. The exam presented emergency vehicle yielding rules as scenario-based questions, even including cases like determining driver liability when pedestrians slip on rainy days. My biggest takeaway was that safe driving requires not just technical knowledge but also a strong sense of responsibility.
