For the subject 2 test of C1 and C2 driver's licenses, a total of 26 credit hours are generally required, including 2 credit hours of theoretical knowledge and 24 credit hours of practical operation. Usually, it is 26 credit hours. The supplementary information for the subject 3 test (road test) is as follows: 1. Long-distance training stamp: Trainees participating in the long-distance training stamp take turns driving the coach's vehicle and complete the long-distance training stamp at the Guandu Training Base of the Public Security Department after long-distance training. Trainees are required to drive for no less than 70 minutes per person during the long-distance training and must not violate any rules or regulations during the long-distance driving. Those who fail to attend or do not meet the requirements can reschedule the long-distance training stamp without any interval. 2. "Nine choose two" on-site road test: After passing the long-distance training check-in, the test center will arrange another time for the "nine choose two" on-site road test. The test location is the Buxin Coach Field in Shenzhen. The "nine choose two" test items are parallel parking and uphill parking and starting on a slope. Those who fail to attend will have to wait one month before rescheduling the test, and those who fail will have to wait 20 days before rescheduling the retake.
I started learning to drive an automatic transmission license from scratch without ever touching a steering wheel, and the entire process takes about 1 to 2 months. This depends on how much time you invest: for example, I enrolled in a weekend class, only practicing twice a week. I spent a few days memorizing the traffic rules for the first test, and it took time to get familiar with the actual driving. The most challenging part was the second test, especially the reverse parking in the yard—failing once could delay the process by half a month. I recommend finding a reliable driving school early, communicating frequently with the instructor, and using apps to practice questions at home instead of cramming last minute. Driving practice is more efficient in good weather, and keeping a calm mindset is key—don’t be afraid of failure.
A student asked how long it takes to learn an automatic transmission car. I would directly tell them it varies from person to person. On average, if you can practice three to four days a week, it takes about 30 to 40 days from registration to getting the license. But some people are naturally talented—like one young man who passed all the exams in just 3 weeks because he practiced intensively. Others may take two to three months. The key is to consistently attend driving school, don’t skip classes, and do a few mock tests before the actual exams. Don’t worry about being older or slower—practice makes perfect. During the learning period, eat more energy-boosting foods and avoid staying up late, as it affects your reflexes.
Last year, it took me about one and a half months to obtain my C2 driver's license. I spent the first week studying for the theoretical test, memorizing traffic rules every day. For the second subject (practical driving), I practiced for about three weeks, going to the driving school for half an hour daily. The third subject (road driving) only required a dozen or so practice sessions. If you can schedule the tests quickly, the process can be shortened further. Just don't slack off—borrowing a friend's car to practice can speed up your progress.
