Can I Get My Driver's License in 20 Days?

Generally, it takes about 45 days to obtain a driver's license, and it is not possible to get one in 20 days. Here are the relevant details: 1. Driver's License: The full name of a driver's license is a motor vehicle driving license, also known as a "driver's license." It is a certificate required by law for individuals who operate motor vehicles. Driving a motor vehicle requires certain driving skills, and those who lack these skills may cause traffic accidents if they drive recklessly. Generally, individuals cannot drive on the road without a license. 2. Important Notes: Both the second and third driving test subjects allow for five exam attempts. If you fail the exam on the day, you need to wait 10 days before rescheduling the test.
I got my C1 driver's license in 28 days last summer vacation, to be honest, 20 days would be quite tight. First, you need 3 days just to study for the written test (Subject 1), and after passing it, you have to wait a few more days before you can start practical training. Spending 4 hours daily at the driving school is considered fast. For Subject 2, after 5 days of practice, you have to queue up for the test, especially during summer when students flood in—booking might take a week. Road training for Subject 3 takes even longer; I've seen guys rushing to take the test only to fail repeatedly. Even if you pass every section on the first try, factoring in the mandatory 62 hours of fingerprint-recorded training, you'd need to practice a full 4 hours almost every day for 20 days. The reality is, driving instructors' schedules aren't that flexible, so it's safer to budget a full month.
As an office worker, getting a driver's license is truly time-consuming. As someone who practiced driving on weekends, I can tell you: 20 days is impossible. On weekdays, you can only rush to the driving school after work, practicing at most 2 hours. Even cramming 8 hours over the weekend is exhausting, and you might not even secure a coach's slot. For Subject 2, each maneuver requires proficiency—I practiced reversing into the parking space for 3 days before I stopped crossing the lines. Subject 3 is even trickier; mistakes in details like light simulation or straight-line driving mean instant failure. Not to mention, exam slots are often booked 10 days in advance, and cutting the line requires paying extra to scalpers. It's better to steadily get your license in a month and a half.
Our driving school instructors know best—20 days might suffice for theory, but practical training depends on timing and conditions. It's possible for young students to practice full-time during summer break, provided they pass each subject in one attempt. One trainee queued at 5 AM for practice, took 8 mock tests for Subject 2, and got licensed in 18 days—but that came with daily heatstroke-level effort. For working adults balancing life, 30 days is more realistic. New traffic regulations now require completing all 62 course hours before unlocking exam eligibility—the old pay-to-rush approach is long obsolete.
