The necessity of completing all theoretical training mainly depends on how the driving school sets the training hours. If the training hours are determined based on theoretical training, then you need to watch a portion of the videos, but generally, it is not required to watch all of them. The review process for the subject one videos takes 3-7 working days. Once approved, you will receive the corresponding training hours. As long as the total training hours meet the requirements, you can schedule the exam. Additional information: 1. Required training hours: According to relevant regulations, the theoretical training hours for subject one must reach 18 hours, with practical training hours at 6 hours; subject two requires 2 hours of theoretical training and 22 hours of practical training; subject three requires 10 hours of theoretical training and 28 hours of practical training, totaling 86 hours. 2. Theoretical training: This refers to training in safety skills and other aspects, and you must complete the required hours before taking the exam. For driver theoretical training, you generally need to bring training materials, follow the instructor's guidance, take notes on key knowledge points and exam requirements, etc. Driving schools usually organize students to take mock exams in electronic classrooms. After passing, you can proceed to the theoretical exam administered by the examination department.

I had a similar issue when I was younger. Back then, I thought the theoretical part of learning to drive was too boring and wanted to skip straight to the road. As a result, I failed my first test because I didn’t understand the details of traffic rules, which made me realize that the theoretical training must be completed. It covers all safety rules, signal recognition, and emergency handling methods, enabling you to stay calm in situations like highways or bad weather. For example, knowing how to handle a flat tire or driving in rain and fog can reduce the risk of accidents by over 70%. Modern driving courses are compact but designed to protect you and others. I recommend setting aside a weekend to focus on completing it—there are free videos and app-based test tools available online to assist you, making it more efficient to learn and take notes. Don’t let laziness lead to major consequences; driving safety should always come first.

Our family bought a new car last year, and my child just got their driver's license. They keep asking if they can just watch the key points of the training videos. I told them they must watch everything—it's not only a legal requirement but also a matter of life and death for the whole family. The theoretical part teaches you how to identify risks, alcohol limits, and passenger safety. Missing even a small detail could lead to an accident. For example, without learning about nighttime driving, my child almost hit an obstacle while driving late one night. Traffic rules are updated frequently now, such as the charging operations for new energy vehicles, which must be studied carefully. The training content is usually divided into modules. Set reminders to study for an hour each day, and you can finish it in two or three weeks. Sticking through the entire course will make you a more reliable driver and give you much more peace of mind.

Time pressure is a common issue for modern people, and I also feel that the theoretical training content is extensive, but the key parts cannot be skipped. At least ensure that the basic knowledge and test questions are reviewed once, while other details can be quickly scanned using the APP's memorization feature. For example, traffic signals and emergency procedures are mandatory, but the history of regulations can be skimmed. Last time I attended an online course, the expert emphasized that the core modules cover 90% of risk scenarios, and any omission could affect practical operations. It is recommended to make a plan and prioritize learning practical content.
