Can driving schools offer practice sessions on Saturdays and Sundays?

Some driving schools offer weekend classes to provide driving training for working individuals. Below is relevant information: According to Article 20 of the 'Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China': 'The training of motor vehicle drivers shall be socialized, and the competent traffic department shall conduct qualification management of driving schools and driving training classes.' Article 19 states: 'To drive a motor vehicle, one must legally obtain a motor vehicle driving license. To apply for a motor vehicle driving license, one must meet the driving license conditions stipulated by the public security department of the State Council; after passing the examination, the traffic management department of the public security organ shall issue the corresponding category of motor vehicle driving license.'

I just finished my driving lessons at the driving school last week. It's indeed possible to practice on weekends since I'm also a working professional and don't have time during weekdays. The driving school usually arranges flexible schedules, with instructors offering weekend classes specifically for people like us who have free time, but you need to book in advance to avoid slots being full. Each of my sessions lasts about one and a half hours, with weekend slots generally available from 9 AM to 5 PM. With fewer people and cars around, it's especially suitable for beginners to practice reversing and road test skills. Policies vary among driving schools—some charge higher fees, while others close on holidays. I recommend calling the driving school or checking their official website for details. From my experience, practicing on weekends means quieter roads and higher learning efficiency, but remember to wear comfortable clothes and bring a bottle of water, as wait times can be long when it's crowded.
