What to do if you miss the scheduled Subject 2 driving test?

If you fail to attend the scheduled Subject 2 driving test, it will be marked as a failure, and you can only reschedule after 10 days. Here are the relevant details: 1. Subject 2: Also known as the small road test, Subject 2 is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. It refers to the field driving skills test. For small vehicles (C1 and C2), the test includes five mandatory items: reversing into a parking space, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, turning at a right angle, and driving through curves (commonly known as S-curves). 2. Learning objectives: Master the basic driving operation essentials and possess the fundamental ability to control the vehicle; proficiently grasp the basic methods of field and road driving, with the capability to reasonably use vehicle controls and correctly manage the vehicle's spatial position, accurately controlling the vehicle's position, speed, and route.
I did this a few days ago—booked my driving test for the second subject but overslept and missed it entirely. I regretted it so much and immediately contacted my driving instructor. They said I had to reschedule the exam and pay a 100-yuan penalty, which delayed my entire learning progress. The next available slot was two weeks away, so I had to keep practicing diligently every day. Since then, I’ve learned my lesson: the night before the test, I set three alarms, schedule phone reminders, and check the test route in advance to account for traffic delays. Honestly, mistakes like this are common—what matters is not letting them shake your confidence. Just handle it quickly, reschedule, and move on. Driving tests are all about persistence, and now that I’ve passed, it’s made me more punctual than ever.
