What does driving school clocking in mean?

Driving school clocking in refers to the "clock-in timing" regulation implemented for the driving test. It is mainly used to accumulate the hours of driving practice. Only after the accumulated hours meet the standard for each subject can the subject test be scheduled. The following is extended information on clocking-in precautions: 1. The daily clock-in time is limited to 2 hours. Time exceeding this limit will not be accumulated. 2. Clocking in cannot be done by others. Because the clock-in process is recorded by a camera and automatically uploaded to the vehicle management office for verification. A single clock-in of less than 20 minutes or clocking in by someone else is considered invalid time. 3. Clocking in must start before 12 noon. The period from 12 noon to 1 pm cannot be interrupted by removing the card, otherwise it will be considered invalid time.
Driving school clock-in, to put it simply, is a system that uses a device to record each of your training sessions to prevent laziness or impersonation. I just got my driver's license last year, and I find this system quite practical. It uses fingerprint or facial recognition for clock-in, requiring identity and time verification before and after each session. The data is directly transmitted to the traffic management department to confirm you've completed the required training hours before you can take the exam. This is mainly for fairness and safety, as driving involves life risks—it's too dangerous to hit the road without sufficient training. I've encountered clock-in failures, possibly due to device lag or wet fingers, which meant having to clock in again or seek help from the instructor. It’s a bit troublesome but better than cheating. Many driving schools now implement this system, as it encourages timely training, reduces bad habits like tardiness or early departure, and improves overall learning quality.
