What to Do After Failing the Driving Test (Subject Two and Three) Five Times?
2 Answers
According to the Ministry of Public Security's Orders No. 123 and 124: Within the validity period of the examination permit (3 years), the number of scheduled exams for Subject Two and Subject Three must not exceed five times. If the fifth scheduled exam is still not passed, the results of other subjects that have been passed will be invalidated. Below is relevant information about Subject Three: 1. Introduction to Subject Three: Subject Three, including the road driving skills test and the safe and civilized driving knowledge test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. It is the abbreviation for the road driving skills and safe and civilized driving knowledge test subjects in the motor vehicle driver's examination. The content of the road driving skills test varies depending on the type of vehicle being licensed. 2. Test Content of Subject Three: The driving skills test includes preparation before driving, simulated lighting test, starting, driving in a straight line, shifting gears, changing lanes, parking by the roadside, driving straight through intersections, etc. The safe and civilized driving knowledge test covers requirements for safe and civilized driving operations, safe driving knowledge under adverse weather and complex road conditions, etc.
I failed the subject two driving test three times and subject three twice, totaling five failures during my driver's license exam. Those days were really tough. At first, I felt very frustrated and anxious every day, worrying about what if I couldn't pass. Later, I changed my approach: I first sought psychological adjustment resources, installed some free emotional management apps on my phone, and learned deep breathing techniques to control nervousness. After work every day, I set aside a fixed hour to practice driving, focusing on my weakest skill—reversing—and used phone recordings to review and identify issues. My instructor was also very helpful; he shared some tips, like simulating real road conditions before the test to boost confidence. Remember, China's driving test policy allows unlimited retakes—just a bit more registration fee, no big deal. Don’t give up. Many professional drivers started with setbacks, and now, after years of driving, they look back and even appreciate that persistence. The key is to adjust your mindset, treat failures as part of the learning process, and take step-by-step action—success will come.
