What happens if you miss the scheduled driving test for Subject 2?
3 Answers
If you fail to attend the scheduled Subject 2 driving test, it will be marked as a failure. Here are the details: Regulations: According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," applicants who cannot attend the test at the scheduled time must apply to cancel the appointment at least one day in advance. If an applicant does not attend the test at the scheduled time, the test will be marked as a failure. Test attempts: Each subject can be taken once, and those who fail can retake it once. If you do not attend the retest or fail the retest, the current test session will be terminated, and the applicant must reschedule the test. However, Subject 2 and Subject 3 tests must be rescheduled at least ten days later.
When I was learning to drive, I also did this - I forgot to attend my scheduled Subject 2 test and ended up wasting over 200 yuan in registration fees, which couldn't be refunded. I had to reschedule and waited several weeks to get another slot, delaying my driver's license progress. I was extremely anxious at the time, feeling like it was all loss. Later, I learned my lesson: always double-check the test time before scheduling, set a phone reminder to avoid last-minute no-shows. If something really comes up, contact the driving school in advance to see if rescheduling or cancellation is possible to minimize impact. Don't underestimate this small matter - it slows down the overall learning pace, costs extra money, and causes frustration. The best approach is to handle it promptly and follow the normal process.
In our driving school training, it's common to encounter situations where students miss their scheduled Category 2 test, resulting in the exam fee being wasted, and they have to pay again for the next appointment. The system automatically records absences, which may prolong your learning cycle and affect subsequent arrangements. I would advise students not to be lazy—plan your schedule before booking the test and set alarm reminders in a calendar app. In case of emergencies, notify the driving school immediately to try and reschedule. Otherwise, not only will you lose money, but you'll also delay getting your license, which is really unnecessary. Remember this simple rule: once you've booked an appointment, be punctual—don't skip it casually, or you'll suffer losses and frustration, adding another small hurdle on your driving journey.
