What is the percentage of passing all driving tests on the first attempt?
3 Answers
According to relevant data, the percentage of passing all driving tests on the first attempt is 10%. Nowadays, the tests are becoming increasingly strict, and the probability of passing each subject on the first try is very low. Many people pass the second attempt of either Subject Two or Subject Three. The following are the contents of the driving license test: 1. Subject One: Road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge test. The structure of the test question bank and basic question types are formulated by the Ministry of Public Security, and provincial public security traffic management departments establish the test question bank for their respective provinces (autonomous regions, municipalities) based on local conditions. 2. Subject Two: Field driving skills test, including test items such as reversing into a parking space, stopping and starting on a slope, right-angle turns, curve driving, and parallel parking. 3. Subject Three: Road driving skills test. 4. Subject Four: Safe and civilized driving knowledge, test items: knowledge related to safe and civilized driving.
Back when I was getting my driver's license, I noticed that not many people passed all tests on the first try. Out of over 30 students in my driving school batch, only 8 didn't need to retake any tests—that's about 25%. Most failures happened in Subject 2 and Subject 3, with parallel parking and roadside parking being the biggest stumbling blocks. Many people failed Subject 2 due to nervousness, shaky hands, and crossing lines. In Subject 3, poor handling of unexpected situations often led to failure. Practicing multiple rounds in the simulated test area before the exam was quite helpful—knowing the route could reduce point deductions. Many people struggled because the clutch feel of the test car differed from the training car. For those with poor psychological resilience, taking half a sedative pill before the test might help, but remember to inform the instructor.
Listening to the coach's casual chat about the data, overall, the estimated one-time pass rate is around 20%-30%. Especially for the winter vacation classes for college students, out of 40 people, maybe only 10 don't need to retake the test. Subject 2 has the highest failure rate, and rolling back on the slope start costs you 100 points, which is particularly frustrating. Nowadays, exam vehicles are equipped with electronic monitoring, and if the wheels are more than 50 centimeters away from the roadside line, it's directly judged as a fail, much stricter than manual invigilation. Surprisingly, weekend classes have a higher pass rate than full-day classes, probably because working adults take it more seriously. My friend took the Subject 3 test three times—the first time, the engine stalled at a traffic light, and the second time, they didn't check the rearview mirror when changing lanes, all due to minor details.
