Safe driving is covered in Section 4 of the driving test. Here are some tips for the Section 4 exam: Exam Timing: Many candidates don't know that they can take the Section 4 exam at the vehicle management office on the same afternoon after passing Section 3. Otherwise, they'll need to schedule it at least a week later, which can be quite a wait. Question Format: Unlike Section 1 which has 100 questions, Section 4 consists of 50 questions worth 2 points each, with a passing score of 90. During the exam, the system will display the number of incorrect answers in real-time. If you reach 5 incorrect answers, you'll need to be extra careful with the remaining questions. Exam Keywords: Every question fundamentally revolves around safety and civility. When unsure about an answer, use common sense to judge and choose. Any question containing words like 'should not', 'cannot', or 'strictly prohibited' is generally correct. Always yield to ambulances and police vehicles.

When I first started learning to drive and taking the license test, I wondered which subject focused on safe driving. Later, I realized it was embedded throughout the entire examination process. The theoretical test in Subject 1 was entirely about safety knowledge, such as how to recognize traffic signs, calculate braking distances, and the rules for handling emergencies. I memorized 100 questions for the test, and almost every one of them was related to safety. During the practical training in Subject 2, the instructor emphasized safe vehicle control, like reversing slowly and steadily to avoid hitting obstacles. Finally, the road test in Subject 3 was even more critical, with the examiner closely monitoring my lane-changing signals and pedestrian avoidance. Safe driving isn’t an isolated subject—it’s the core of all driving tests. Looking back now, it laid a solid foundation for my future driving, ensuring I stay cautious and careful every time I hit the road.

As a long-term driving instructor for license exams, I've seen too many students confuse the concept of safe driving, which is actually a comprehensive requirement integrated into subjects one to three. Subject one focuses on theory and rules, with exam papers designed to cover all safety knowledge points; then comes subject two's field training, where I demonstrate how to operate the vehicle safely, such as controlling the throttle to avoid loss of control; subject three's road test directly assesses safety awareness, like observation habits when waiting at traffic lights. The entire process emphasizes safety first, because the exam is not just about passing, but also about cultivating lifelong safety habits. After the driving test, the most common feedback from students is that safety has become an instinctive awareness, which is quite gratifying.

Safe driving is the most crucial element in operating a vehicle, systematically tested in the driving examination, primarily assessing theoretical knowledge in Subject 1. The test questions cover accident prevention and rule compliance, which form the foundation. Subjects 2 and 3 also indirectly involve safety, such as steady parking during field maneuvers and handling complex traffic during the road test. After actual driving begins, safety requires continuous attention—don't expect a single exam to cover everything. I often remind everyone that safe driving starts with the driving test but extends into daily life; developing good habits is essential to protect lives.
