What is the clock-in timing policy for the driver's license test?
2 Answers
The clock-in timing policy for the driver's license test is as follows: 1. Training hours: The total training hours for the driver's license have been adjusted, with a reduction of more than 10 hours compared to the 2020 exam syllabus before the adjustment. 2. Driver's license: The total training hours for C1 and C2 driver's licenses have been adjusted to 62 hours and 60 hours, respectively. (Each training hour is 60 minutes, with an effective training time of 45 minutes). 3. Exam: In the new syllabus, some items in the subject two and subject three exams can be completed directly in simulated teaching, but the simulated teaching hours are limited to 4 hours. As a result, the actual hands-on training hours for C1 and C2 driver's license tests will be 36 hours and 34 hours, respectively.
As someone who has obtained a driver's license, I can say that the clock-in timing policy requires trainees to record each driving practice session using electronic devices such as IC cards or mobile apps during their training at the driving school. This ensures they meet the required hours before taking the exam. The policy's original intent is to prevent driving schools from cutting corners and trainees from falsifying training hours, ensuring sufficient practical experience—for example, 40 hours of hands-on practice for Subject 2—before applying for the test. For novice drivers, it enforces more practice on basic skills like reversing and turning, reducing the risk of accidents after obtaining the license. I remember the driving instructor reminding us to swipe the card before and after each practice session, with the system automatically accumulating the time. Although occasionally forgetting to clock in might result in a wasted hour, the policy overall improves training quality. Extending to safe driving, it indirectly cultivates more reliable drivers, preventing novices from losing control during sharp turns. I think it's quite necessary—don't find it troublesome; clocking in on time ensures smooth progress and avoids delays.
