Can Driving Schools Provide Practice Driving?

Nationwide driving tests have resumed. In regions where exams have restarted, students can proceed with normal learning and practice driving. When going for driving lessons now, it is essential to take personal protective measures: avoid crowded areas, wear masks, and wash hands promptly for disinfection. Confirm in advance with the driving school whether the practice environment is regularly disinfected and the number of students practicing in the same vehicle during the same time slot. Adhere to the requirements of the driving school and test centers. Precautions for novice drivers: 1. Do not forget to engage the handbrake when parking: A slight oversight can lead to the danger of the vehicle rolling, which not only may damage your car but also could harm others' property or even lives. Though the mistake is small, the consequences can be severe. 2. Do not forget to release the handbrake when starting: When first learning to drive, always follow the correct sequence when starting the car. Regardless of whether the handbrake was engaged when parking, always check to release it when starting. 3. Do not forget to shift to neutral when exiting the vehicle: Forgetting to shift back to neutral or Park after parking can, at best, stall the engine. If combined with forgetting to engage the handbrake, it may cause the car to lurch forward from its parked position.
When I first signed up for driving school, I was also very nervous, just to be able to practice driving. They assigned me a coach right away, and I could go several times a week at my own convenience, which was very flexible. At the beginning, I practiced starting, stopping, and reversing in the parking lot, which felt quite safe because there were few cars and people. Later, I practiced on the road with the coach always sitting in the passenger seat guiding me and helping with the brakes. They never scolded me for mistakes. At first, my hands were shaking badly, but after more than ten practices, I improved a lot, especially on the highway part. Actually, driving school practice is essential, and you have to take an exam to check your skills after learning. I suggest you find a formal driving school and ask about the rules clearly. Avoid crowded places to save time, and keep practicing to drive confidently.
