Can I Change Driving Schools Midway Through the Driving Test Process?
1 Answers
If the three-year validity period for obtaining a driver's license expires before completing all required tests, any previously passed subjects become invalid, and you will need to retake the exams. Of course, if you decide not to continue and want a refund, the amount refundable depends on the progress of your tests, categorized as follows: Enrolled in a driving school but haven't taken any tests: In this scenario, there is technically no "three-year expiration" because the three-year validity period only begins after passing the Subject 1 exam, when the vehicle management office issues the Learning to Drive Certificate. Therefore, if you haven't attended Subject 1 training or, after completing Subject 1, the driving school fails to arrange Subject 2 training within 60 days due to the school's reasons, the driving school should provide a full refund. Passed Subject 1 but remaining subjects expired: If you've passed some subjects but failed to complete the remaining ones within the three-year validity period, the driving school may refund a portion of the training fees. However, if the delay is entirely due to the student's personal reasons exceeding the three-year limit, the driving school is not obligated to refund. Fast-track exam scheduling for expiring licenses: If the Learning to Drive Certificate has less than six months of validity remaining, students can switch to priority scheduling when booking exams. Note that each subject can be prioritized for scheduling once online. During priority scheduling, students can choose from available exam slots with remaining priority spots. As long as the scheduling request is successful and there are no other regulatory obstacles preventing the exam, the test can be arranged.
