Where to Pay the Retake Fee for Subject 2?
3 Answers
The retake fee for driving license Subject 2 can be paid either by yourself or through the driving school or instructor. Only after paying the retake fee can you schedule the next retake. Generally, paying the retake fee through the driving school or instructor will cost more than paying it yourself, as the instructor may charge an additional fee for extra practice sessions due to the retake. Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is the abbreviation for the field driving skills test. Below is an introduction to the content of the subject tests: 1. Subject 1: The written test on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge (Subject 1) is conducted on a computer, with a full score of 100, and a passing score of 90 or above (including 90). 2. Subject 2: The field driving skills test (Subject 2) is conducted in a real vehicle on-site, with only pass or fail results. The test includes five mandatory items performed in sequence: reversing into a garage, parallel parking, S-curve driving, right-angle turning, and starting and stopping on a slope. The full score is 100, and a passing score is 80 or above (including 80). 3. Subject 3: The road driving skills test (Subject 3) is conducted on a highway or simulated field in a real vehicle. The full score is 100, with a passing score of 90 or above for large buses, 80 or above for large trucks, and 70 or above for other vehicle types. 4. Subject 4: The written test on safe and civilized driving knowledge (Subject 4) has a full score of 100, and a passing score of 90 or above (including 90).
Last time I retook Subject 2 of the driving test, I had to run around to multiple places just to pay the fee, and ended up paying directly at the driving school's front desk. The instructor mentioned this when I registered, but I forgot to ask for details at the time. Usually, it's handled at the driving school office or through the 12123 APP on your phone, which is quite convenient. My retake fee was 300 yuan, but it may vary by region, generally ranging from 200 to 500. I recommend not delaying after the test—promptly contact your driving school to check the payment process and ask if you need to bring things like a copy of your ID. Before the retake, practicing mock tests a few more times is a safe bet to avoid wasting both money and effort.
As an experienced driver who often mentors new trainees, let me briefly explain. Typically, the payment location for the second subject retake is at the driving school's registration office, and the coach will take you there directly to pay. With advanced technology nowadays, many places support online platforms like the 12123 APP for payment—just a few taps and it's done. The fee usually fluctuates around 300 yuan. After paying, remember to immediately schedule your next exam to avoid missing the deadline. Don't try to save money or slack off—thorough practice is key. Master the reverse parking maneuver, and you're less likely to fail. If you have any questions, just call the driving school hotline—it's always reliable.
