First, choose a driving school to enroll in. This is very important. You can consider the school's qualifications, the quality of the instructors' service, and feedback from past students. The driving school will issue a "Motor Vehicle Driver's Physical Condition Certificate." You need to bring your valid ID card to the local vehicle management office for photo-taking and a physical examination. After passing the physical examination, submit the stamped "Motor Vehicle Driver's Physical Condition Certificate" to the driving school. The school will then schedule the subject one test for you.

I just graduated from driving school as a novice driver, and the whole process was quite challenging but absolutely worth it. The first month after enrollment was mainly about theory. I practiced 200 questions daily on the driving school app and passed the subject one test with 90 points, focusing on memorizing traffic rules and signs. Then, I spent three weeks on subject two's field practice—every time I practiced reverse parking or hill starts, I was so nervous that the instructor always told me to relax my wrists for better steering control. During the subject three road test, my palms were sweating, but luckily, the examiner kindly reminded me about adjusting the rearview mirrors. It took me two months in total to get my license. I chose a driving school with a good reputation, costing around 5,000 yuan, and scheduled all practice sessions on weekends to avoid weekdays. I recommend doing more mock tests and real-car practice to reduce mistakes—I took subject twice before passing, and the key is to keep practicing and not give up. Now, driving to and from work, I find road conditions much more complex than during the test, so I always stay alert to pedestrians and other vehicles to ensure safety.

Having driven for many years, looking back at the process of obtaining a driver's license emphasizes practical efficiency. Before enrolling in a driving school, compare several options to avoid overpriced traps; choosing one with small class sizes is ideal. During the learning phase, focus on the instructor's demonstrations of steering and braking timing—don't rush to accelerate. For the written test (Subject 1), rely on memorizing textbook knowledge and practice with app simulations multiple times to get the hang of it. In the field test (Subject 2), exercises like curve driving are prone to crossing lines, so practice steady control. For the road test (Subject 3), remember to maintain a safe distance and use turn signals. After passing, don't forget the final safety and civics exam (Subject 4). The entire process takes about one and a half to two months—don't rush to ensure each step is solid. Safety is paramount; after getting your license, always check your vehicle's condition before driving to reduce accident risks. Choosing a driving school close to home can save a lot of time.

Students getting a driver's license focus on speed and cost savings. I enrolled in the basic driving course for 4,000 yuan, skipping premium packages. For the theory test (Subject 1), I used free apps to practice questions and passed in three days. For Subject 2 (practical driving), I scheduled training during spare time between classes, mastering tricky maneuvers like reverse parking within 1-2 weeks through repeated practice. Avoid all-nighters before exams to stay sharp. The whole process took under two months efficiently, with tuition partly covered by part-time earnings to reduce family expenses. During practice, actively ask instructors for tips to save fuel and minimize ineffective training. After obtaining the license, drive cautiously near school zones, especially watching for speed bumps. Manage time wisely to avoid impacting studies—don’t stress too much, but prioritize safety above all.
