Subject 2 (on-site training) requires 16 hours for manual transmission (C1) and 14 hours for automatic transmission (C2). Subject 1 training requires 12 hours, Subject 3 (actual road training) requires 24 hours, and the safety and civilized driving knowledge training requires 10 hours. Below is relevant information about the examination subjects: 1. Subject 1: Road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge (Subject 1) is a written test conducted on a computer, with a perfect score of 100. A score of 90 or above (including 90) is considered passing. 2. Subject 2: On-site driving skills test (Subject 2) is conducted in a real vehicle. Results are only categorized as pass or fail. The test includes five mandatory tasks in sequence: reversing into a garage, parallel parking, S-curve driving, right-angle turning, and hill start and stop. The perfect score is 100, with 80 or above (including 80) considered passing. 3. Subject 3: Road driving skills test (Subject 3) is conducted on actual roads or simulated environments in a real vehicle. The perfect score is 100. For large buses, a score of 90 or above is required; for large trucks, 80 or above; and for other vehicle types, 70 or above is considered passing. 4. Subject 4: Safety and civilized driving-related knowledge (Subject 4) is a written test with a perfect score of 100. A score of 90 or above (including 90) is considered passing.
I've been working in driving school instruction for several years. The total required training hours for a C2 driver's license are typically around 42 hours, which includes both theoretical and practical components. The theory courses take about 12 hours, covering traffic rules and emergency handling knowledge, aiming to strengthen safety awareness. Practical training requires over 30 hours, focusing on fundamental skills like starting, parking, and reverse parking. I think the hour requirements are quite reasonable as they ensure students systematically master driving techniques rather than just rushing through for the test. In actual teaching, some naturally talented individuals might get the hang of it in just over 20 hours, but strictly adhering to the training hours can reduce potential risks. When learning to drive, never rush the process—pay attention to practicing every detail, such as learning to anticipate road conditions or handle emergency braking, so you'll feel confident when driving on main roads.
