How to Check the Validity Period of Your Driving Course?
2 Answers
To inquire about the validity period of your driving test, you can check the information at the driving school or the vehicle management office. Below is some information about the driving test: 1. Subject 1: Road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge test. It is a written test conducted on a computer, with a full score of 100, and a passing score of 90 or above (including 90). 2. Subject 2: Field driving skills test. It is a practical test conducted in a designated area, with only pass or fail results. The test includes five mandatory items: reversing into a garage, parallel parking, S-curve driving, right-angle turning, and starting and stopping on a slope. The full score is 100, and a passing score is 80 or above (including 80). 3. Subject 3: Road driving skills test. It is a practical test conducted on a road or simulated area, with a full score of 100. The passing scores are 90 or above for large buses, 80 or above for large trucks, and 70 or above for other vehicle types. 4. Subject 4: Safety and civilized driving-related knowledge test. It is a written test with a full score of 100, and a passing score of 90 or above (including 90).
I remember when I was a driving instructor at a driving school, I often reminded students that the validity period for learning to drive starts from the day they pass Subject 1, with a full three-year deadline. There are two ways to check the specific date: the most convenient is to call the traffic management hotline 12123, where you can provide your ID number to inquire. However, some cities' driving school apps now also support checking the validity period online. For example, when I taught in Shenzhen, I saw students log in to the app to check it themselves. It's important to note that if you don't complete all subjects within three years, your previous scores will be voided. Another lesser-known fact is that if you haven't even passed Subject 1, the timer doesn't start at all, and you can continue learning anytime. Recently, while helping students check their expiration dates, I found that some still thought the count starts from the day of enrollment—that's a big misunderstanding.
