What is the validity period for passing the Driver's License Subject 1 exam?
1 Answers
According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," the validity period of the learning driving certificate is three years, but the expiration date must not exceed the upper age limit for application. Applicants must complete the Subject 2 and Subject 3 exams within the validity period. If the exams are not completed within the validity period, the passing scores of any previously completed subjects will be invalidated. Subject 1, also known as the Subject 1 theory exam or driver theory exam, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. The exam content includes theoretical driving basics, road safety laws and regulations, local regulations, and related knowledge. The exam format is computer-based, with a time limit of 45 minutes. Subject 1 consists of 100 single-choice and true/false questions, each worth 1 point. If 11 questions are answered incorrectly during the exam, the system will automatically submit the test and end the exam. Subject 1 exam content: Driver's license and motor vehicle management regulations; road traffic conditions and regulations; road traffic safety violations and penalties; road traffic accident handling regulations; basic knowledge of motor vehicles; local regulations; knowledge of braking systems and safety devices for large and medium-sized passenger and freight vehicles; specialized knowledge for wheeled self-propelled machinery, trams, and trolleybuses. Subject 1 exam precautions: During the Subject 1 exam, students should pay attention to their attire—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 lockers before entering the exam room. Upon entering, the identity verification station will assign a seat. After finding your seat, 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. Failure to sign will render the result invalid. There is no limit to the number of times you can schedule the Subject 1 exam. Each subject exam can be taken once, with one retake allowed if you fail. If you do not take the retake or fail the retake, the exam process ends, and the applicant must reschedule. However, Subject 2 and Subject 3 exams allow only five attempts each, and the exams must be scheduled at least ten days apart. If you fail the Subject 3 safe driving knowledge test, the previously passed road driving skills test scores remain valid. The driver's license exam 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 exam; Subject 3 is divided into two parts: road driving skills and safe driving knowledge. The safe 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 "Subject 4."
