How many hours can be logged in a day for driving practice?

Driving practice can be logged for up to 78 credit hours in a day. The details are as follows: 1. Credit hours introduction: For a C1 driver's license, the credit hours for driving practice include 12 hours for Theory (Subject 1), 2 hours for Theory (Subject 2), 24 hours for Practical Training (including 3 hours of simulated driving training), 16 hours for Theory (Subject 3), and 24 hours for Practical Training (including 4 hours of simulated driving training), totaling 78 credit hours. 2. Purpose of logging credit hours: Students log their training hours to ensure their legitimate rights and interests and to improve the quality of training provided by driving schools. After completing the phased training, the driving training and examination departments can review the students' training. Only after passing the review can students schedule their exams through the pre-examination recording system.
Back when I was getting my driver's license, the maximum daily practice time was capped at 4 hours - that's a national regulation. Our instructor told us each lesson lasted 45 minutes, which meant actual steering wheel time barely exceeded 3 hours. The driving school scheduled lessons strictly, with two sessions in the morning and two in the afternoon at most. Those rest periods between sessions were crucial, otherwise we couldn't even grip the wheel properly. I remember once trying to practice longer, but the instructor immediately made me get out of the car. He said over-practicing makes limbs unresponsive and actually breeds bad habits. Thinking back, it makes perfect sense - driving practice isn't about logging hours, those few focused hours are far more effective than dragging through a whole day.
