What is Subject 4 Called?
1 Answers
Subject 4, also known as the Subject 4 Theory Test or Driver Theory Test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. After the implementation of the Ministry of Public Security's Order No. 123, the Subject 3 test was divided into two parts: the road test and the addition of a safety and civics knowledge test, commonly referred to as "Subject 4," which evaluates "driving ethics." Since this test is conducted after Subject 3, it is traditionally called the Subject 4 test. Below is an introduction to the other driving test subjects: 1. Subject 1: Subject 1 refers to the driver theory test, conducted at the vehicle management office, which is a mandatory licensing exam for driver's license applicants. The test content includes the most fundamental knowledge such as driving theory, road safety laws and regulations, traffic signals, traffic rules, as well as local regulations. The scheduling of the driver theory test is arranged independently by local vehicle management offices. The Subject 1 test content includes: road usage, traffic signals, handling of traffic safety violations and accidents, application and use of motor vehicle driver's licenses, motor vehicle registration regulations, and other road traffic safety laws, regulations, and rules. 2. Subject 2: Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment and is the abbreviated name for the field driving skills test. The Subject 2 test items include: reverse parking into a garage, stopping and starting on a slope, right-angle turns, curve driving, and parallel parking. In cities like Shanghai, Subject 2 consists of nine mandatory items: reverse parking into a garage, right-angle turns, parallel parking, tunnel driving, stopping to take a card, curve driving, U-turns on narrow roads, emergency stops, and stopping and starting on a slope. 3. Subject 3: Subject 3 includes the road driving skills test and the safety and civics driving knowledge test. It is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment and is the abbreviated name for the road driving skills and safety and civics driving knowledge test in the motor vehicle driver's exam. The content of the road driving skills test varies depending on the type of vehicle being licensed. The basic items of Subject 3 include: vehicle preparation, starting, driving straight, changing lanes, passing intersections, pulling over, crossing pedestrian crosswalks, passing school zones, passing bus stops, meeting other vehicles, overtaking, making U-turns, and nighttime driving.
