What is the content of the makeup test for drunk driving in Subject 1?
2 Answers
The makeup test for drunk driving and the regular Subject 1 test have the same content. The "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses" clearly stipulate the examination content: laws, regulations, and rules on road traffic safety; traffic signals and their meanings; safe driving and civilized driving knowledge; safe driving knowledge under conditions such as highways, mountainous roads, bridges, tunnels, nighttime, adverse weather, and complex road conditions; emergency handling knowledge in critical situations such as tire blowouts, steering failure, and brake failure; basic knowledge of the overall structure of motor vehicles, main safety devices, and routine inspection and maintenance; basic knowledge of self-rescue and first aid after traffic accidents, as well as common hazardous materials. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," the Subject 1 driving license test consists of 100 questions, divided into single-choice questions and true/false questions, with each question worth 1 point and a total score of 100 points. If 11 questions are answered incorrectly during the test, the system will automatically submit the test and end the examination. Subject 1, 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 other related knowledge. The test is conducted on a computer, with a time limit of 45 minutes. Subject 1 test precautions: During the Subject 1 test, students should pay attention to their attire—no sandals 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 a locker before entering the examination room. In the examination room, the identity verification area will assign seats. After finding your seat, begin the test. Ensure the camera is aligned with you and adhere to test discipline. If you fail the first time, there is a makeup test on the same day. If you fail again, you must pay to reschedule. After the test, queue to collect your score sheet and sign it. Failure to sign will render the test invalid. There is no limit to the number of times you can reschedule the Subject 1 test. Each subject can be taken once, and if you fail, you can take a makeup test once. If you do not take the makeup test or fail it again, the current test session will be terminated, and the applicant must reschedule the test. For Subject 2 and Subject 3, there are only five test attempts. Subject 2 and Subject 3 tests must be scheduled ten days later. If the Subject 3 safe and civilized driving knowledge test is failed, the passed road driving skills test results remain valid. The driving test consists of three subjects: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3. Subject 1 refers to the examination on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge; Subject 2 refers to the field driving skills test; Subject 3 is divided into two parts: road driving skills and safe and civilized driving knowledge. The safe and civilized driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject 3, so it is commonly referred to as Subject 4. However, in official terms (i.e., the Ministry of Public Security Order No. 123), there is no such thing as Subject 4.
As someone who passed the retest after being penalized for drunk driving, I can share some experience. The content of Subject 1 mainly covers several areas: Traffic rules test various traffic light meanings, sign interpretations, right-of-way allocation, and speed limits, such as stopping at red lights and proceeding at green lights, and specific yielding scenarios. The safe driving section emphasizes the severe consequences of drunk driving. You need to learn the blood alcohol concentration standards, penalty regulations like license revocation, fines, or even detention, as well as common knowledge on preventing drunk driving. The exam format consists entirely of multiple-choice and true/false questions, with a large question bank. I used the Driving Test App to practice daily, focusing on memorizing drunk driving-related clauses because the retest places more emphasis on this. The entire preparation process takes at least one or two weeks to pass steadily; otherwise, the pressure of retaking the exam wastes time and energy. In short, the content covers basic regulations plus in-depth drunk driving education, and you need to study diligently to avoid making mistakes again.
