What is the shortest time to obtain a driver's license?

According to the required schedule, it takes no less than 50 days to obtain a driver's license. However, in reality, some people get their license in one month, while others take several months or even a year. Most people typically obtain their driver's license in about three months. Here are the relevant details: 1. Number of attempts: The three subjects must be scheduled for exams in order. After scheduling each subject, you can take the exam once and have one retake. If you do not attend the retake or fail the retake, you must reschedule the exam. Within the validity period of the driving skills test permit, the number of scheduled attempts for Subject 2 (road driving skills) and Subject 3 (road driving skills) must not exceed five times each (i.e., ten exam opportunities in total). 2. Retaking the exam: If you fail the fifth scheduled exam, the results of other subjects you have passed will be invalidated, and you will need to retake the exam starting from Subject 1.
When I first got my driver's license, I was also curious about how quickly one could obtain it. In reality, if you have ample time and strong learning abilities, the shortest possible duration from registration to obtaining the license could be around 20 to 30 days. I've seen people who spent every day at the driving school, started practicing immediately after passing the theory test (Subject 1), consecutively passed the parking and road tests (Subjects 2 and 3), and aced the final theory test (Subject 4) on their first try—without any delays in between, they managed to get it done. However, in practice, it depends on individual commitment—you need enough energy to practice daily and happen to enroll in an efficient driving school, otherwise, exam scheduling might cause delays. Although this rushed approach is fast, I don't recommend it for beginners, as weak driving fundamentals can lead to potential safety hazards. Safety is always the top priority; it's best not to chase speed. A steady and thorough learning process ensures smoother driving in the future.
When it comes to the fast track for getting a driver's license, I've thought about it myself—the shortest cycle can be completed in about 20 to 40 days. This requires you to fully commit after registration, prepare for the theoretical exam efficiently, and quickly move on to practical training. Passing both Subject 2 and Subject 3 without interruption is key. Of course, real-life challenges often arise, such as exam scheduling conflicts, booking delays, or bad weather affecting practice. My advice is not to focus solely on speed but also consider your own pace; if you're busy during the week, weekend practice is also an option. The driving school's instructor arrangements are crucial too—choosing a reliable one can save a lot of time. In short, while it's theoretically possible to go fast, taking a steadier approach is more practical, as learning to drive is ultimately about safety on the road.
