2 Answers
For drug users to restore their driving license, they must follow the procedure for reapplying for a license, which includes taking Subject 1, Subject 2, Subject 3, and Subject 4. Below are the detailed descriptions: Subject 1: Road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge test (Subject 1) is a written exam conducted on a computer, with a full score of 100 points, and a passing score of 90 or above (including 90). Subject 2: Field driving skills test (Subject 2) is conducted on-site with an actual vehicle. The result is either pass or fail. The test includes five mandatory tasks performed in sequence: reversing into a parking space, parallel parking, S-curve driving, right-angle turning, and hill start and stop. The full score is 100 points, with a passing score of 80 or above (including 80). Subject 3: Road driving skills test (Subject 3) is conducted on a road or simulated site with an actual vehicle. The full score is 100 points, with passing scores of 90 or above for large buses, 80 or above for large trucks, and 70 or above for other vehicle types. Subject 4: Safe and civilized driving knowledge test (Subject 4) is a written exam with a full score of 100 points, and a passing score of 90 or above (including 90).
I have a friend whose driver's license was revoked due to drug use, and he went through a lot of trouble to get it reinstated. He told me the whole process first required obtaining a certificate from a drug rehabilitation center, confirming successful rehabilitation with no risk of relapse—this certificate was mandatory. Then he had to retake the written test (Subject 1), which involved answering traffic rule questions on a computer, covering safety regulations and various road sign recognition to ensure his memory was still sharp. After passing Subject 1, he also took Subject 3, the practical road driving test where the examiner observed his ability to turn, change lanes, and park, checking if his reactions were normal. The entire process took several months because exam slots required waiting in line, and he underwent a health check after rehabilitation to confirm his physical condition was stable. He felt this setup was justified, as it helps prevent accidents and reminds people of the dangers of drugs. Now he drives more carefully and often reflects on how that experience helped him grow a lot.
