What is the Subject 1 Test for Motor Vehicle Driving?

[TessaRose]

The "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses" clearly stipulates that the content of the Subject 1 test 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 in situations like tire blowouts, steering failure, and brake failure; general structure of motor vehicles, common knowledge of main safety devices, basic knowledge of daily inspection and maintenance; basic knowledge of self-rescue and first aid after traffic accidents, as well as knowledge of common hazardous materials. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," the Subject 1 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 a candidate answers 11 questions incorrectly during the test, the system will automatically submit the test and end the exam. Subject 1, also known as the Subject 1 theory 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 related knowledge. The test is conducted on a computer with a time limit of 45 minutes. Subject 1 Test Notes: Candidates should pay attention to their attire during the test; no slippers are allowed, and electronic devices and bags are not permitted in the examination hall. Bring your ID card and queue up 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 hall. Upon entering, check your assigned seat at the identity verification station, start the test after finding your seat, and ensure the camera is aligned with you while adhering to exam discipline. If you fail the first time, there is a same-day retake opportunity. If you fail again, you must pay to reschedule. After the test, queue up to collect your score report and sign it; unsigned reports are considered invalid. There is no limit to the number of times you can schedule the Subject 1 test. Each subject can be taken once, and if you fail, you can retake it once. If you do not take the retake or fail the retake, the current test session ends, and the applicant must reschedule the test. In contrast, Subject 2 and Subject 3 allow only five attempts each. Subject 2 and Subject 3 tests can be rescheduled after ten days. If you fail the Subject 3 safe and civilized driving knowledge test, the previously passed road driving skills test scores remain valid. There are three subjects in the driving test: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3. Subject 1 refers to the road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge test; 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 test. The safe and civilized driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject 3, so it is commonly referred to as Subject 4. However, the official term (as per the Ministry of Public Security Order No. 123) does not include the term "Subject 4."
