Can I get a refund if I stop after passing the second subject of the driver's license test?

You can get a tuition refund, but since you have already taken the first subject test and practiced for the second subject, a portion will definitely be deducted. The exact amount varies depending on the regulations of each driving school, and there is no specific figure. Generally, getting about half of the tuition back is considered good. For detailed information, you need to inquire at the driving school. Below is relevant information: Driver's License: The full name of a driver's license is a motor vehicle driver's license, also known as a "driving license." It is a certificate required by law for individuals who drive motor vehicles. Driving a motor vehicle requires certain driving skills, and without these skills, driving recklessly may lead to traffic accidents. Generally, individuals cannot drive on the road without a license. Subject 2: Subject 2 generally refers to the Subject 2 test. Also known as the small road test, it is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment and is the abbreviation for the field driving skills test. For the C1 license, the test includes five mandatory items: reversing into a parking space (reverse parking), parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, right-angle turns, and curve driving (commonly known as S-turns).
I know a buddy who gave up after failing the second driving test and rushed to ask the driving school for a refund. The staff said the contract has terms—refunds depend on progress. If you've only completed the first test, you might get most of the fee back, but after the second test, the deductions are steep, often leaving just a small fraction. That's because instructor resources and venue costs have already been used. I advised him not to quit easily since he's already invested time and effort—finishing now saves him from starting over. If all else fails, check the contract or file a complaint via 12315. Some driving schools allow transferring the spot to someone else. Remember, driving is a lifelong skill—just push through and get it done.
From what I understand, driving school refunds vary case by case. I've helped several friends who dropped out midway: if you withdraw after Subject 2, the refund percentage is usually less than 30%, as clearly stated in black and white in the contract. The reason is simple - the driving school has already provided training and examination services. I suggest first checking your enrollment contract, which typically itemizes the deduction rules in sections. If finances permit, it's better to persist and complete the exams; otherwise, call the driving school hotline directly to inquire about installment payment options for deferred exams or partial refunds. Don't rush your driving education - maintaining a steady mindset saves both money and time.
