Where to Start After Failing the Driving Test Part 3 Midway?

Similar to Part 2 of the driving test, if you fail Part 3, you will restart the second attempt from the beginning. Additional Information: 1. Part 3: Part 3 is the road driving skills test. According to the requirements of the Ministry of Public Security for driver examinations, each candidate has two attempts per appointment. If the first attempt fails, the system will automatically prompt the candidate to pull over for an immediate retest. During the retest, the safety officer will drive the vehicle back to the starting point, and the test will begin anew. 2. Notes: (1) Before shifting gears, ensure the speed is increased or decreased to match the gear, then proceed with the shift. (2) While driving, remember to glance at the speedometer every few seconds to prevent errors caused by speed and gear mismatch.

If you fail during Subject 3 (road test), regardless of which part you fail, the test ends immediately. You'll have to restart the entire process from the beginning next time, including basic steps like the light check and starting the vehicle. I failed because I crossed the line while turning at an intersection—the examiner immediately announced my failure. When I rebooked the test, I still had to go through the whole procedure again, including lane changes and parking. That experience taught me to practice my weak points more. I recommend finding an instructor to simulate the test with you a few times—don't rush for quick success. Remember, every small detail determines pass or fail. Stay calm; failure isn't the end. Strictly following the rules during retakes will improve your passing rate.

The exam rules are clear: if you make a mistake during Test 3, such as an error in changing lanes or parking, the examiner will stop the test, and you must restart from the beginning. I've encountered students who failed during the U-turn section and heard of others who hesitated too long at traffic lights, resulting in failure—all requiring a full retest. Don't assume you can just redo the failed part; overall driving ability is the key assessment focus. My advice is to analyze the reasons after failing, practice more at night or simulate road conditions to reduce nervousness. Prepare thoroughly before retrying, ensuring proper light checks and operations from the start, and proceed step by step steadily.

If you fail in Subject 3 (Road Test), the entire exam must be restarted, including procedures like the starting actions after getting in the car and the lighting test. The first time I made a mistake during the roadside parking—as soon as the examiner called to stop, the next attempt had to begin from scratch, covering straight-line driving and turns. Don’t get discouraged; practice weak areas like gear shifting or checking mirrors more, and familiarize yourself with the test route layout. Common failures stem from distraction or technical oversights, so during retakes, focus on smooth sequential operations to ensure a safe pass.
