Choosing a driving school is the primary prerequisite for obtaining a driver's license, as subsequent steps like registration, practice, and exams cannot proceed without it. Selecting the right school is a crucial part of the learning process. Once you have a clear understanding of these factors, you can finalize your choice of driving school. The next step is registration, where special attention should be paid to the contract to ensure all terms and conditions are clearly stated. After registration, the next step is a medical examination. The driving school will usually inform you where to undergo this. If not, you can schedule an appointment at a nearby hospital with the necessary qualifications. Submit your records and proceed to take the exam.
I have some understanding of the process for retaking the driver's license exam. First, go to the local DMV to clarify why you need to retake the exam, such as an expired or revoked license, as different situations have different requirements. Bring your original ID card, a copy of your old license, and several one-inch photos to apply. Make sure to complete the medical checkup in advance at a designated hospital, which includes vision and hearing tests. Remember to go on an empty stomach, as eating might affect the results. After gathering all the required documents, submit your application and wait for the DMV to schedule the exam date. Typically, you'll take the theoretical test (Subject 1) first—practice using mobile apps like "Driving Test Treasure" beforehand. Once you pass the theory test, you'll proceed to the practical test, such as parallel parking, which requires booking a testing site. If you pass all the exams, you can collect your new license within a few days. The entire process takes about one to two months, with costs including the medical checkup, exam fees, and material fees totaling around 400-500 RMB. The key is to ensure all documents are complete and pass the medical checkup in one go to save time. I recommend booking early to avoid peak times and unnecessary delays.
