Is it difficult to get a driver's license?

Whether it is difficult to get a driver's license depends on individual circumstances. The following is a partial introduction about the driver's license: Conditions for upgrading to a B1 license: You must have held a (C1) driver's license for more than three years and be between 21-50 years old. To apply for an upgrade to a (B1) license, you must have no demerit points in the current scoring cycle (this year) and the most recent scoring cycle (last year). You can then apply for the upgrade at the local vehicle management office in your registered residence. Age requirements: To apply for a city bus, large truck, trolleybus, or tram license, you must be between 20 and 50 years old; to apply for a medium-sized passenger vehicle license, you must be between 21 and 50 years old.
I think whether getting a driver's license is difficult or not mainly depends on personal effort and experience level. I remember when I took my driving test, I initially found the theoretical exam a bit challenging, as it required time to memorize traffic rules and signs. I practiced questions on the app every day, and gradually, practice made perfect. Then came the second subject, tasks like reversing into a parking space and parallel parking—after a few practices, I got the hang of it. Overall, I feel that as long as you choose a good driving school and persist in learning, the test isn't that hard. Nowadays, many people pass on their first try, though I've also seen some friends fail due to nervousness, but their pass rates improved after re-preparation. My advice is to take mock tests in advance, ask the instructor more questions, and get hands-on practice—this way, you can easily obtain your license. It's not just about the certificate; it also enhances your driving safety awareness.
I think the difficulty of getting a driver's license depends on different groups of people and regions. From what I've observed in the driving learner community, young people learn faster because they have quick reflexes and adapt easily to new things; older individuals might take more time, but their calmer mindset can make the test easier. In big cities, the tests are stricter, with some examiners being very meticulous; rural areas might be more lenient, but the regulations are the same. The key is to practice more and find a reliable driving school. The theory test (Subject 1) isn't hard if you memorize the rules, and the field test (Subject 2) just requires more practice. Don't rush—take it step by step. Most people can pass, and safe driving is what truly matters.
