What to Do If You Fail the Driving Test Five Times?
2 Answers
If you fail the driving test five times, you must either re-register and pay for training again or choose to give up. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses" issued by the Ministry of Public Security, during the validity period of the driving skill test permit, the number of scheduled tests for the subject two (road driving skills) and subject three (practical driving test) must not exceed five times. If a candidate fails the fifth scheduled test, the results of other subjects that have already been passed will be invalidated. More details are as follows: 1. The driving test consists of four parts: subject one and subject four are theoretical tests; subject two and subject three are practical driving tests. There is no limit to the number of times you can schedule the theoretical tests (subject one and subject four). For the practical driving tests (subject two and subject three), each subject can only be scheduled five times, but each scheduled test includes one retake opportunity on the spot. This means there are ten test opportunities for each of subject two and subject three. 2. The passing score for subject one and subject four is 90 points. For the C1 driving license test, subject two requires a score of 80 points or above to pass. Subject three, commonly referred to as the road test, requires a passing score of 80 points for the C1 test. As long as the required score is achieved, the test is passed.
I've been driving for several years and have seen many people struggle with their driving tests. If you fail five times, the first step is not to lose heart—many beginners face similar situations. Carefully reflect on the exam process: was it a technical issue like improper parallel parking, or was it nervousness that led to mistakes? It's advisable to find an experienced instructor for a reassessment; they can point out blind spots, such as non-standard seating posture or incorrect timing when reversing into a parking space. Practice regularly with mock test tools or schedule sessions with a licensed friend for guidance. After each attempt, take a week or two off to adjust your mindset, as too much pressure can lead to more mistakes. Remember, many people pass only after seven or eight tries. As long as you persist in practicing and analyzing problems, you’ll eventually get your license. Driving skills are a matter of practice makes perfect.
