What is the content of Driving Test Subject 4?

[EllieFitz]

According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses", the content of Subject 4 is safety and civilized driving knowledge questions, consisting of 50 questions, mainly in the form of cases, pictures, animations, etc., with a full score of 100 and a passing score of 90. Subject 4, also known as the Subject 4 theory test or driver theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driving license assessment. After the implementation of the Ministry of Public Security Order No. 123, Subject 3 was divided into two parts: in addition to the road test, a safety and civilized knowledge test was added, commonly known as Subject 4. It is not a separate subject, but because this test is conducted after Subject 3, it is commonly referred to as the Subject 4 test. Officially, there is no Subject 4. The safety and civilized driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject 3. There is no limit to the number of attempts for Subject 4. If the first test on the day is not passed, an on-site retake is allowed once. If it is still not passed, a new appointment is required, and no retake fee is charged. However, it should be noted that the validity period of the driving skill test permit is three years. If the applicant does not complete the test within the validity period, the results of the already passed subjects will be invalidated. Subject 4 test notes: Test time: The test time is 45 minutes, and if 12 points (6 questions) are wrong during the answering process, the test will be terminated. Number of questions: According to the type of driver's license being tested, 50 questions are selected proportionally from the corresponding Subject 4 question bank, with each question worth 2 points. Test question types: The test questions are divided into single-choice questions (including true/false questions) and multiple-choice questions. The first 45 questions are single-choice, and the last 5 are multiple-choice. The test questions include animation questions, picture questions, scenario identification questions, and text narrative questions. Retake notes: If Subject 4 is not passed, only Subject 4 needs to be retaken. The driving school will schedule the retake, and there is no limit to the number of retakes. No retake fee is required for Subject 4 retakes. Subject 4 test tips: Strengthen the error-prone areas and find the reasons for mistakes. For marked questions, do not just look at the correct answer and memorize it. Refer to regulations, textbooks, or reference books to find out the reason for the mistake and understand and digest the reason. Classify and summarize the test questions. Refer to the question bank analysis for classification and find similar questions: There are many similar questions in the question bank that are easy to confuse, so they need to be taken out for summary and analysis. For example, the patterns of walking, hiking, pedestrian crossing, and pedestrian crossing signs in traffic signs are very similar and easy to confuse. During study, they should be classified so that mistakes are less likely to occur. Find memory techniques: There are many questions with numbers in the question bank. The numbers can be summarized for easier memory. There are a total of 3 subjects in the driving test: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3. Subject 3 is divided into two parts. Subject 1 refers to the test subject of road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge; Subject 2 refers to the test subject of site driving skills; Subject 3 refers to the test subject of road driving skills and safety and civilized driving knowledge.

I just got my driver's license not long ago, and the process of taking the Subject 4 test left a deep impression on me. It mainly tests knowledge of safe and civilized driving, including traffic regulations such as traffic signal recognition, yielding rules, and speed limits, as well as safe driving knowledge like dealing with bad weather, such as turning on fog lights instead of high beams in foggy conditions. There are also questions on civilized yielding, such as stopping to yield to pedestrians crossing the road. While preparing for the test, I used an app to practice with a large number of multiple-choice and true/false questions covering various scenarios, like steps to handle a tire blowout. In actual driving, this knowledge has made me more confident and safer, helping me avoid potential risks. I recommend that beginners practice more with mock question banks. Understanding the principles is more effective than rote memorization, so you’ll feel more assured when driving after passing the test.

As a seasoned driver with over a decade of experience, I reflect on Subject 4 as the core curriculum of driving safety. It emphasizes daily road behavior norms, such as traffic sign recognition, overtaking rules, and the prohibition of drunk driving. The safety section covers emergency handling like preventing skids on slippery roads, while the civility aspect discusses pedestrian priority and avoiding road rage. From experience, many overlook emergency knowledge questions such as the use of hazard lights after an accident, but in reality, the test serves as a lifelong reminder of safety. Only after passing did I realize these seemingly minor matters concern every traveler's life. Now, I always remind myself and family to follow the rules while driving.

I have trained many students for their driver's license tests. The fourth subject focuses on civilized driving knowledge, covering legal and regulatory questions such as the meaning of signal systems, calculation of safe distances, and driver obligations, such as controlling speed in foggy conditions. The exam mostly consists of multiple-choice or true/false questions, with common mistakes including the use of lights at night and handling complex road conditions. In actual teaching, I emphasize that this is not a memory test but a practical application. For example, understanding these concepts can reduce the probability of traffic violations and accidents. I recommend using simulation resources for flexible learning and application during preparation, as safety means protecting yourself and others.

Taking the Subject Four test in college felt quite easy, with the content mainly focusing on traffic regulations and safety knowledge, such as traffic light rules, speed limit sign interpretations, and emergency responses like not making sharp turns when a tire blows out. There was also a section on civility involving yielding to pedestrians and driving etiquette. The number of questions was substantial, but practicing with an APP was sufficient. The preparation strategy was to first understand the core concepts and then practice with mock tests to avoid panic. This knowledge has protected me in safe driving in real life, especially reminding me not to get distracted by looking at my phone.

As someone who frequently shares driving experiences, my subject four test covered comprehensive safety driving assessments, including traffic rules like overtaking conditions, signal recognition, and safety responses such as controlling speed in rainy weather to prevent skidding. The civilized driving section emphasized accident prevention and respect for others, with question types including multiple-choice and true/false. For preparation, I recommend studying with practical cases, such as operating rules in foggy conditions, which can help make daily driving smoother and safer, reduce accident risks, and even save fuel.
