Is it difficult for experienced drivers to obtain a driver's license?

There is no situation where experienced drivers find it difficult to obtain a driver's license. Here are the relevant details: Introduction to the driver's license test: The driver's test (motor vehicle driver's test) is a qualification examination organized by the Vehicle Management Office of the Public Security Bureau. Only by passing the driver's test can one obtain a driver's license and legally operate a motor vehicle. The content of the motor vehicle driver's test is divided into the following subjects: knowledge of road traffic safety laws and regulations, field driving skills, and road driving skills along with safety and civilized driving knowledge. The test content and passing standards are uniformly set nationwide, with corresponding test items specified according to different types of vehicles. Test requirements: For first-time applicants of a motor vehicle driver's license or those applying to add a new vehicle type to their license, the Vehicle Management Office should issue a driving test permit within one day after passing the first subject test. The driving test permit is valid for three years, and applicants must complete the second and third subject tests within this period. If the tests are not completed within the validity period, the passed subject results will become invalid.
I've been driving for years, but when I first took the driving test, I thought it would be a breeze—only to fail miserably! The biggest issue was the huge gap between real-world habits and test requirements: in daily driving, a quick mirror check suffices for lane changes, but the test demands a strict three-step process—signal, check blind spots, and move slowly—missing any step means points off. The theory test was another stumbling block; traffic signs and rule details felt like a numerical maze, and I mixed up the penalty points for speeding, leading to an unnecessary failure. Later, I practiced with a friend, forcing myself to drive by the test standards. Nervousness also held me back—just the examiner's stare made my palms sweat. My advice: don’t overestimate yourself before the test, drill questions and practice precise maneuvers, and with some time, you’ll pass. Also, remember that regulations change yearly, so check the latest materials to avoid detours.
