Subject 1 needs to be retaken. Drunk driving results in a 12-point deduction, and when all 12 points are deducted, you are required to study and then take Subject 1. Below are the detailed penalties for drunk driving: Drunk driving: If you drive a motor vehicle while drunk, your driver's license will be revoked, and you will not be allowed to obtain a new one for 5 years. After judgment, you will be subject to detention and a fine. If you drive a commercial motor vehicle while drunk, your driver's license will be revoked, and you will not be allowed to obtain a new one for 10 years. You will be banned from driving commercial vehicles for life, and after judgment, you will be subject to detention and a fine. Legal basis: Article 91 of the Road Traffic Safety Law: Driving a motor vehicle after consuming alcohol will result in a six-month suspension of the motor vehicle driving license and a fine. If you are penalized for driving a motor vehicle after consuming alcohol and do so again, you will be subject to detention for up to 10 days, a fine, and revocation of your motor vehicle driving license.

I remember last year when my friend was caught drink-driving for the first time, the consequences were really severe. His driver's license was suspended on the spot for six months, he was fined 2,000 yuan, and all his points were deducted. During that time, he complained every day about not being able to drive, which was extremely inconvenient. He was then required to attend a seven-day traffic safety education course. After listening to the instructor talk about real-life cases, he finally realized how dangerous drink-driving is. Finally, he had to retake the theoretical exam for Subject 1, which was entirely about traffic rules and sign recognition. He had to pass it to get his license back. After going through the whole process, he spent nearly 2,000 yuan in additional costs—what a loss! Now, he always calls a designated driver when going to parties. I never drink and drive anymore—it's safer, more convenient, and worry-free. Don't let yourself regret it later!

From a driving safety perspective, the penalties for a first-time drunk driving offense include a six-month suspension of the driver's license, a fine of up to 2,000 yuan, and 12 demerit points. Following this, offenders must attend a seven-day safety education course and retake the theoretical portion of the driving test (Subject 1) to regain their license. Subject 1 primarily covers traffic regulations and signal knowledge. This process is designed to allow drivers to reflect on their mistakes with a clear mind. Through reading news reports, I learned that drunk driving poses high risks and is responsible for numerous accidents each year. Retaking the test is a minor issue compared to the potential harm caused by accidents or having one's license revoked. It is advisable for all vehicle owners to develop the habit of calling a ride-sharing service after drinking—simple and reassuring for both personal and others' safety.

After a first-time DUI, you need to retake the written test (Subject 1). Passing it allows you to drive again. During the license suspension period, driving is prohibited—it's both inconvenient and costly. With ten years of driving experience, I've seen many such cases; don't take the risk. The test content isn't difficult, but remembering the rules is key. The heavy penalties for drunk driving are for safety reasons.
