Is It Difficult to Obtain a Driver's License?

For most people, obtaining a driver's license is not difficult. The key lies in finding the right method. It's important to identify the correct approach, put in the effort, and pay attention to details. From the recent reforms in driver's license examinations over the past two years, it's evident that the process is gradually becoming more convenient and straightforward. Currently, a new trend has emerged in driver's license testing, with transportation authorities working to make it easier for the public to obtain a license. The reforms in November 2020 showed that age restrictions for small vehicle driver's licenses have been lifted. This means that as long as physical conditions permit, individuals over 70 years old can now take the driver's license test. The sequence of examination subjects follows traffic regulations and related knowledge (referred to as

Thinking back to the days when I was getting my driver's license in my youth, to be honest, it felt a bit exhausting at the time. The theoretical exam required studying thick textbooks and memorizing traffic signs and regulations. Although the content wasn't overly complicated, I still found myself sweating nervously when facing multiple-choice questions in the exam room. The road test was an even bigger hurdle—during my first attempt, I got so flustered under the examiner's watchful eyes that I almost forgot to use the turn signal while making a turn. It took more practice to gradually get the hang of it. Nowadays, with frequent updates to traffic rules and much heavier urban traffic, beginners are more prone to making mistakes in complex road conditions. Overall, the difficulty depends on one's foundation and mindset. If you undergo sufficient driving school training and mock tests, following the instructor step by step, you can pass smoothly. Don’t be intimidated by others' failure stories—keeping a calm mindset is key.

Getting a driver's license nowadays feels more challenging than before, especially in first-tier cities. After registration, you have to constantly practice theory questions on your phone, covering safe driving and new regulations, with so many details that it's easy to miss some. The practical training phase is even more grueling—mastering precise maneuvers like reversing into a parking spot (Subject 2) and navigating S-curves is always tough, and the coach yelling beside you can be distracting. On exam day, the strictness of the examiner means even a minor mistake, like failing to check the rearview mirror, results in an instant fail. On the other hand, it’s relatively easier in suburban or smaller cities, where lighter traffic reduces pressure. Don’t worry—with dedicated time, choosing a reputable driving school for extra practice, and setting aside 1-2 focused hours daily, you can get your license within three months. The key is picking the right training approach and avoiding last-minute cramming.

The hardest part of getting my driver's license was definitely the road test. The theoretical part was manageable, just took some time to memorize the rules. But when it came to practical operations, like parallel parking in Subject 2 where I kept crossing the line, or forgetting to release the handbrake when starting, I failed several times before correcting these mistakes. The psychological pressure was the biggest challenge—sitting in the driver's seat under the examiner's watchful eye, any slight movement could lead to point deductions. After repeated practice simulations, I gradually got used to the rhythm and improved. My advice to beginners is to start with basic maneuvers and not rush for quick results.
