Is there a retraining fee for failing the exam now?

[AdalineLynn]

Currently, a retraining fee is generally charged for failing the exam. Below is an introduction to the learning content for Subject 1: Basic knowledge of motor vehicles: common vehicle structures, main safety devices, driving control mechanisms, vehicle performance, vehicle inspection and maintenance, vehicle operating materials, braking systems and doors of buses, braking systems and doors of public buses, braking systems of articulated vehicles, connection and separation devices. Laws, regulations, and road traffic signals: application and use of motor vehicle driving licenses, road traffic rules, driving behavior, penalties for illegal activities, motor vehicle registration, traffic accident handling. Comprehensive review and assessment: road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge.

As a driving instructor who has trained thousands of students, the retraining fee depends on the situation. Our driving school charges 80 yuan per hour for practice sessions after failing the second or third subject test, as it occupies training grounds and instructor resources. However, some conscientious driving schools offer pass-guaranteed packages that include two free retraining sessions with the initial payment. I strongly advise checking the contract carefully upon enrollment—whether there's a retraining fee and how much should be clearly stated in writing. If an instructor suddenly raises prices, keeping payment records and complaining to the driving school will definitely help. Honestly, spending a few hundred yuan more on retraining isn’t a loss—mastering solid driving skills to avoid accidents on the road is where the real savings lie.

As someone who has taken the driving test, I failed the third subject once and indeed paid a retraining fee. Our driving school charges 150 yuan for three hours of practice, which is slightly more expensive than regular training sessions. However, my cousin learning to drive in a neighboring city didn’t have to pay this fee—I heard their driving school’s enrollment fee was 500 yuan more expensive, but it covered all retraining costs. The key is to check what the initial contract states, as some driving schools play word games that can be particularly unfair. It’s advisable not to choose driving schools with suspiciously low prices from the start—you get what you pay for. If you’re really worried about costs, try to cram in extra practice sessions a couple of days before the test and memorize the routes and details thoroughly.

The fee for retraining after failing the test varies by region. Having worked in the driver training industry for ten years, I've seen all kinds of pricing models. Coastal cities typically charge 100-200 yuan per session, while smaller cities may offer all-day training for 50 yuan. This fee mainly covers vehicle wear and tear and instructor hours. Reputable driving schools always display their fee schedules publicly, so remember to check the detailed price list in the lobby. If you encounter any additional charges, you can directly report it to the Transportation Bureau's operation management office, as they have enforcement authority. I recommend choosing a driving school with hourly billing, where make-up training sessions directly deduct from your lesson hours, ensuring transparent pricing and avoiding overcharging.
