1 Answers
The maximum time limit for obtaining a driver's license is three years. According to Article 38 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses": The validity period of the driving skill examination permit is three years. This means that candidates must complete all subject examinations within three years. After passing Subject 1, a driving skill examination permit will be issued. The subsequent exams include Subject 2, Subject 3, and Subject 4, as detailed below: Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is the field driving skill examination. The test content includes reversing into a parking space, stopping and starting on a slope, turning at a right angle, driving along a curve, and parallel parking. The full score is 100, with a passing score of 80 or above. Subject 3, also known as the large road test, is the road driving skill examination. The test content includes: preparing to start, driving straight, changing lanes, passing intersections, pulling over, crossing pedestrian crossings, passing school zones, passing bus stops, meeting oncoming vehicles, overtaking, making U-turns, and driving at night. The full score is 100, with a passing score of 90 or above. Subject 4 covers safe and civilized driving requirements, safe driving knowledge under adverse weather and complex road conditions, emergency handling methods such as tire blowouts, and post-accident handling knowledge. If 12 points (6 questions) are answered incorrectly during the test, the exam will be terminated. If a candidate fails to pass all exams within three years, their results will be invalidated, and they will need to start over. Previously passed subjects will also be invalidated. If the time limit is not met, an extension cannot be applied for. The public security department will cancel the candidate's relevant student status, and they will only be able to restart the training process. Regarding driver's license exam regulations: Each subject can be taken once, with one retake allowed if failed. If the retake is not taken or is also failed, the exam will be terminated, and the applicant must reschedule the exam. Exam scheduling: Subject 2 and Subject 3 exams can be rescheduled after ten days. Within the validity period of the learning driving permit, the number of rescheduling attempts for Subject 2 and Subject 3 road driving skill exams must not exceed five.
