Can I Change Driving Schools After Passing Subject 2?

You can change driving schools after passing Subject 2, but if you haven't reached an agreement with the original driving school, your previously passed test scores will become invalid. Here's relevant information about changing driving schools after registration: 1. Regarding candidate information: After registration, the candidate's information has been entered into the public security vehicle management network, meaning the candidate's information in the nationwide examination system is already registered with the driving school. While you can change instructors, you cannot change schools as the system is nationally networked. 2. Regarding changing driving schools: If a change is absolutely necessary, you must go to the public security department to file an application, cancel your previous registration information, and then re-enter your documents before you can register again.

I've been driving for over a decade and have heard many students share their experiences about changing driving schools. After completing Subject 2 of the driving test, switching to a new driving school is completely fine, but you must follow the proper procedures. First, you need to obtain a training certificate from your original driving school, confirming that you've completed Subject 2. Then, apply for a file transfer at the vehicle management office or through the Traffic Management 12123 App. Once the new driving school takes over, your test progress will be saved, and you can continue with Subject 3. However, be clear about the costs: if your original school offered a 'pass guarantee' package, transferring might require paying a price difference or handling fees—be careful not to be overcharged. The advantage is that you might get a better instructor and learn faster; the downside is that adapting to a new environment takes time and can disrupt continuity. I recommend choosing a new driving school with a good reputation and consulting the vehicle management hotline in advance to ensure a smooth transition. Safe driving is crucial, so don’t let changing schools delay your training for too long.

As a young driver who just got my license, I also considered changing driving schools after passing Subject 2. The original school had rude instructors, so I directly consulted a new driving school. They said they could accept me and help with file transfer. The process was quite simple: make an online appointment with the DMV, bring my ID and learning certificate, and it took half a day to complete. Regarding costs, the original school deducted some deposit, while the new school offered a discount, saving me 200 yuan. Subject 2 results are retained, so no need to worry about retaking. My experience is that the new instructor was patient after switching, and I passed Subject 3 after just one week of practice. It's worth asking friends for driving school recommendations to avoid pitfalls. Overall cost-effective, but don't delay too long to prevent getting rusty.

What I care most about when changing driving schools is safety. It's feasible to switch after completing Subject 2, but make sure your learning isn't interrupted. I've seen friends get confused due to different teaching methods after switching schools, increasing accident risks. The rules allow for file transfers; just contact the DMV to handle the procedures, and the new school will take over for Subject 3. There might be slight fee adjustments, but prioritize places with consistent teaching methods. Remember to maintain your training frequency and never compromise on safety.
