Can You Change Driving Schools Midway Through the License Process?
2 Answers
Typically, after an applicant registers, the driving school cannot be changed. If a change is absolutely necessary, one must go to the public security department to submit an application, cancel the previous registration information, and then re-enter the documents and register. Here is some relevant information about driving schools: 1. Introduction to Driving Schools: A driving school is a training institution that helps people master driving skills, teaches them safe and civilized driving, and assists them in passing the vehicle management department's exams to obtain a driver's license. According to directory classification, it should fall under the training category within the transportation industry. However, due to its high degree of marketization, a more reasonable classification would be under the service sector within the tertiary industry. 2. Notes on Enrollment in Driving Schools: Applicants for small cars, small automatic transmission cars, small automatic transmission passenger cars for the disabled, and light motorcycles must be between 18 and 70 years old, among other requirements.
Last time I took the driver's license test, I switched driving schools midway because it was inconvenient to commute to the original location after moving. The whole process was actually quite simple: First, go to the original driving school to withdraw, they might charge a penalty fee, usually a few hundred yuan; then take your file and driving test records directly to the new driving school to register. I found the instructors at the new driving school more professional, which actually sped up my learning. Remember to communicate well with both sides to avoid duplicate charges. Some places even have agreements to directly transfer your student status. The whole thing can usually be sorted out in a few days, so don't delay too long and affect your test progress. Switching driving schools is completely legal, but it's best to choose a reputable one to ensure continuous teaching and safe driving habits. From my personal experience, if the instructors at the original school are poor or your life circumstances change, switching decisively can save a lot of trouble.
