Can I take the driving test without paying the fee after making an appointment at the driving school?

No, you cannot take the test without paying the fee. Here are some precautions for taking the driving test: 1. Open the car door: Before getting into the car, open the door to ventilate. During lunch breaks, the training car is parked on the field, which can cause the interior to become hot and stuffy, with the seats being uncomfortably warm. About 10 minutes before training, students should open all the doors to ventilate, letting the heat dissipate and allowing air to circulate freely. 2. Choose the right time: Select an appropriate time for driving lessons. In summer, the days are long and the nights are short. Although the days are long, they can be extremely hot, and no one wants to learn to drive under the scorching sun. The best times for driving lessons are from 08:00 to 12:00 in the morning and from 17:00 to 21:00 in the evening (the school closes around 21:00). Firstly, the temperature is not as hot as at noon, making it more bearable for students. Secondly, working professionals may not have time during the day but can make use of the ample time in the evening. Lastly, learning to drive at night helps students become familiar with using car lights, making it easier to handle the night test later. 3. Take a break every 30 minutes: To protect against the sun, many students arm themselves with sunscreen, long-sleeved shirts, long pants, hats, gloves, and even sunglasses. In summer, it's essential to learn how to prevent heatstroke, with the most important aspects being lowering body temperature and ensuring you remain alert during lessons. Therefore, every 30 minutes of practice, you should take a break in a shaded area. If you feel unwell during the lesson, inform the instructor immediately and do not push yourself too hard.
I have quite a bit of experience with driving school exams, and remembering the rules is crucial. Not paying the fee when booking an exam is absolutely unacceptable—payment is part of the verification process, and the system needs to confirm payment to secure your test slot. If you forget to pay and show up for the exam, the staff will outright deny you entry, wasting your trip and the test slot. I recommend paying immediately after booking through the app or website, and only consider it successful once you receive a confirmation SMS. A friend of mine missed an opportunity because of this and had to reschedule, costing extra time and effort. Similarly, for license renewals, fees must be settled first—checking your payment status in advance can save you a lot of trouble. Don’t lose big for small gains; arriving relaxed on exam day is the way to go.
