Do driving schools close for the Mid-Autumn Festival?

Driving schools do close for the Mid-Autumn Festival. However, if a driving school has many students, some may still offer training sessions during the holiday. Precautions for driving practice: Do not forget to release the handbrake when starting the car. Beginners should follow the correct sequence when starting the car, and always check to release the handbrake before moving off, regardless of whether it was engaged when parking. Always wear a seatbelt: Good habits start with wearing a seatbelt. Although seatbelts may feel uncomfortable, they ensure safety in case of a collision at high speeds. Below is additional information related to stalling for beginners: Stalling when starting: This usually happens when the clutch is released too quickly. To avoid this, press the clutch fully, shift into first gear, and slowly release the clutch. Stalling while driving: Stalling during driving often occurs when the driver suddenly brakes hard while in third gear, causing a mismatch between speed and gear.

Last year when I was learning to drive at the driving school, I encountered the Mid-Autumn Festival. I specifically asked the admissions office, and they said the whole school would take a day off with no classes because both instructors and students needed to go home for the holiday. The arrangement was quite reasonable. However, I heard that policies vary among different driving schools. Smaller ones or private instructors might remain open, depending on the specific arrangements of the school. I suggest you call your driving school in advance to confirm the dates to avoid a wasted trip and save time and energy. Roads are more congested during holidays, making driving lessons unsafe, and the break also allows everyone to adjust their pace and avoid exhaustion. Learning to drive is a long-term process, and taking one day off is not a big deal—the key is to maintain progress.

When I signed up for the driving school, I found out that most driving schools close for a day during traditional festivals like the Mid-Autumn Festival, as staff take time off to be with their families, and classes are naturally suspended. However, some schools might only close for half a day or operate as usual if students are on tight schedules, depending on the school's operational style. If you have a class scheduled, it's best to contact the front desk or your instructor directly to confirm and avoid a wasted trip. Driving practice shouldn't be delayed, and the holiday break is a good time to review what you've learned. With more people traveling during festivals and road conditions becoming more complicated, suspending classes is also a safety consideration.

Driving schools usually have a one-day holiday during the Mid-Autumn Festival, as it's an industry norm considering the importance of family reunions during the festival. Many students take leave, resulting in low class attendance. However, not all driving schools follow this practice: smaller schools or part-time instructors may remain open. It's advisable to check the driving school's official website or send a message to confirm, so you don't miss any scheduled classes. Post-holiday is often more efficient for driving lessons, while the festival period is better spent relaxing with family and adjusting your mindset. Learning to drive is physically demanding, so proper rest is better than pushing through fatigue.
