What are the changes in the new driving test regulations in August?
2 Answers
In August, the new driving test regulations will take longer to complete, extend the certification cycle, and increase registration fees. Here is additional information: 1. Legal basis: Article 1 of the "Motor Vehicle Driving Training Teaching and Examination Outline" states that the theoretical training time for each student shall not exceed 4 class hours per day, and the practical training time shall not exceed 4 class hours per day. The training and teaching part of this outline is divided into three stages. After each teaching stage, an assessment of the student's learning in that stage shall be conducted. 2. Assessment stage: The assessor shall be a coach of Level 2 or above; after passing the stage assessment, the student can proceed to the next stage of learning; if the stage assessment is failed, the assessor shall determine the additional training content and hours required. 3. Mastering operational essentials: Article 2 states that students must master the basic operational essentials of driving and possess the fundamental ability to control a vehicle; they must proficiently master the basic methods of driving in confined spaces and on internal roads, possess the ability to reasonably use vehicle controls and correctly manage the spatial position of the vehicle, and be able to accurately control the vehicle's position, speed, and route.
I'm preparing for my driving test and heard there are quite a few changes in the new August regulations. The question bank has been completely updated, adding more safety driving questions, such as electric vehicle charging safety and emergency handling, which I find more relevant to real road conditions. The exam process has also been simplified; long queues used to waste time, but now online booking is more convenient, saving a lot of time. New additions include fatigue driving prevention and scenario simulation questions, making learning more challenging but also more practical. I need to quickly review the new materials to avoid missing details. At the same time, the new regulations emphasize developing good habits from the start, which is great for new drivers to avoid future problems. Preparation advice is to do more simulation exercises rather than just memorizing books.
