Can I practice driving during the pandemic?
2 Answers
During the pandemic, most areas do not allow driving practice, but you can register for driving lessons online first. Here are the relevant details: To avoid infection during the pandemic, many driving schools cannot resume operations, which means they cannot continue practical training for students. Online registration inquiries: If you want to learn to drive, you can first inquire and register online. Some driving schools offer online registration services. Choose a good driving school to register, make an appointment in advance, and at the same time, you can also review the theoretical test. If you have time, you can also complete subjects one and three first. Once driving schools resume operations and test centers reopen, you can take the exams and learn driving skills more quickly, obtaining your driver's license faster.
Practicing driving during the pandemic is generally fine, but it depends on local regulations and enforcement. Traffic authorities adjust policies based on the pandemic situation—some areas may suspend practical driving school courses, while others allow operations with strict restrictions. As someone who frequently interacts with students, I believe the key is to check updates on local government or driving school websites. Typically, driving schools implement disinfection measures, such as spraying disinfectant before and after each vehicle use, requiring masks for both instructors and students, and limiting class sizes to reduce crowding risks. For personal practice, if you have a valid license and access to a family vehicle, you can choose suburban or open roads, keep the car ventilated by slightly opening windows, and use disinfectant wipes on hands and the steering wheel. Remember, health and safety come first. If concerned, consider online driving theory courses or simulation software to learn basics beforehand and wait for conditions to stabilize before hands-on practice. Delays in learning aren’t urgent—skills can always be caught up later.
