How long does it usually take to get a driver's license for automatic transmission?

Obtaining a driver's license for automatic transmission generally takes a similar amount of time. The fastest can get it in about 2-3 months, while the slowest may take around a year. Here are the relevant details: 1. C2 License: The exam subjects and process are the same as for a C1 license, including the theoretical test (Subject 1), the field test (Subject 2), the road test (Subject 3), and the safety and civilized driving knowledge test (Subject 3). The exam includes hill starts, parallel parking, reversing into a garage, curve driving, and stopping and starting at designated points. The only difference is that the test vehicle is an automatic transmission car, so it cannot be assumed that a C2 license is obtained faster. 2. Traffic Regulations: After passing the traffic regulations test, you can take the parking test in 20 days and the road test in 40 days, meaning the fastest possible time is 40 days.
The time it takes to get an automatic transmission driver's license really depends on personal circumstances. I finished mine last year and got my license in just over two months. When you first enroll in driving school, you need to pass the theory test (Subject 1), which can be done in about a week by practicing a few sets of questions. For practical training, going three to four times a week for one to two hours each session is sufficient. Driving an automatic is much easier—no clutch pedal to worry about, so you pick it up quickly. The instructor said the average student passes in two to three months, but wait times can vary by region, with smaller cities possibly being faster. I recommend spending extra time practicing reverse parking (Subject 2); mastering it means passing the test on the first try and avoiding delays from retakes. After getting your license, remember to take it slow on the road to adjust—safety is the top priority.
