What happens if you fail the Subject 3 driving test five times?

If you fail the Subject 3 driving test five times, the results of other subjects you have already passed will become invalid, and you will need to start over from Subject 1. The process of obtaining a driver's license: Registration, traffic rules study, Subject 1 test, Subject 2 test, Subject 3 test. Test content: The test subjects include three items: traffic regulations and related knowledge, field driving, and road driving (including safe and civilized driving). Specific items include reversing into a garage, narrow road U-turns, parallel parking, hill start and stop, right-angle turns, curve driving, emergency braking, tunnels, straight-line driving at toll booths to collect cards, lane changes, passing intersections, and pulling over.
Failing the driving test (Subject 3) five times really means starting from scratch. I know many people feel quite discouraged when this happens, but the rule is clear: if you fail five times, your entire driving test qualification is invalidated, including previous scores for Subject 1 and Subject 2—everything is reset. This isn’t an exaggeration; I’ve seen people having to re-register, pay fees, go through medical checks, and collect materials all over again, just like new applicants, with additional costs and waiting for appointments. But looking at it another way, it’s also an opportunity. I suggest staying calm, not rushing to retake the test immediately, and instead finding a reliable driving school to review your issues—whether it’s nerves or unstable skills. Practicing more on simulated test details can help a lot. The driving test is a test of patience; once you push through, it gets easier.
