What is the main focus of Subject 1 in the driving test?
1 Answers
The "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses" clearly stipulates that the content of the Subject 1 exam 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; basic knowledge of the general 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 exam consists of 100 questions, divided into single-choice 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 exam, the system will automatically submit the test and end the exam. Subject 1, also known as the theoretical driving test or driver theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driving license assessment. The exam content includes driving theory basics, road safety laws and regulations, local regulations, and related knowledge. The exam is conducted on a computer with a time limit of 45 minutes. Subject 1 exam precautions: Candidates should pay attention to their attire during the exam—no slippers are allowed, and electronic devices and bags are prohibited in the exam 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 exam room. Upon entering, verify your identity at the assigned seat and begin the exam. Ensure the camera is aligned with you and adhere to 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 report and sign it—unsigned reports are invalid. There is no limit to the number of times you can schedule the Subject 1 exam. Each subject can be taken once, with one retake allowed if you fail. If you do not take the retake or fail it again, the exam will be terminated, and you must reschedule. In contrast, Subject 2 and Subject 3 have only five exam attempts each. Subject 2 and Subject 3 exams must be scheduled at least ten days apart. If you fail the Subject 3 safe and civilized driving knowledge test, your previously 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 road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge exam; 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, the official terminology (i.e., the Ministry of Public Security’s Order No. 123) does not include the term "Subject 4."
