What is Tested in Driving License Subject One?

[ORobert]

The "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses" clearly stipulates that the content of Subject One examination includes: road traffic safety laws, regulations, and rules; traffic signals and their meanings; knowledge of safe driving and civilized driving; safe driving knowledge under conditions such as highways, mountainous roads, bridges, tunnels, nighttime, adverse weather, and complex road conditions; emergency handling knowledge for situations like tire blowouts, steering failure, and brake failure; general structure of motor vehicles, basic knowledge of main safety devices, daily inspection and maintenance; basic knowledge of self-rescue and first aid after traffic accidents, as well as common hazardous materials knowledge. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," the Subject One test consists of 100 questions, divided into single-choice questions and true/false questions, with each question worth 1 point, totaling 100 points. If 11 questions are answered incorrectly during the test, the system will automatically submit the paper and end the test. Subject One, also known as the theoretical test or driver theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driving license assessment. The test content includes driving theory basics, road safety laws and regulations, local regulations, and related knowledge. The test is conducted on a computer with a time limit of 45 minutes. Subject One Test Notes: During the test, students should pay attention to their attire—no slippers are allowed, and electronic devices and bags are prohibited in the examination room. Bring your ID card and queue to enter the waiting hall. Observe the precautions and procedures on the large screen, and store personal belongings in lockers before entering the examination room. Upon entering, verify your identity at the assigned seat and begin the test. Ensure the camera is aligned with you and follow exam discipline. If you fail the first attempt, a retake is available on the same day. If you fail again, you must pay to reschedule. After completion, queue to collect your score sheet and sign it; unsigned sheets are considered invalid. There is no limit to the number of times you can schedule Subject One. Each subject can be taken once, and if you fail, you can retake it once. If you do not attend the retake or fail the retake, the test is terminated, and the applicant must reschedule. In contrast, Subject Two and Subject Three allow only five attempts each, and rescheduling must be done at least ten days later. If you fail the Subject Three safe and civilized driving knowledge test, the passed road driving skills test scores remain valid. The driving test consists of three subjects: Subject One, Subject Two, and Subject Three. Subject One refers to the road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge test; Subject Two refers to the field driving skills test; Subject Three is divided into two parts: road driving skills and safe and civilized driving knowledge test. The safe and civilized driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject Three, so it is commonly referred to as Subject Four. However, the official term (as per the Ministry of Public Security Order No. 123) does not include the term "Subject Four."
