When applying for a driver's license, it is necessary to clarify the price or fee structure, learning process, and training site of the driving school. Price or fee structure of the driving school: It is important to understand whether the driving school requires a one-time payment or if additional payments will be required during the process. Learning process: For example, whether there is a mock test before learning Subject 2; how to book a coach—whether it is done online or assigned by the driving school; whether the same coach is assigned for Subject 2 throughout or if it is random each time, and whether you can choose your coach; the details of the class you plan to enroll in, such as how often you can expect to have a training session on average, and how long the entire process will take to complete. Training site: The registration point, the headquarters of the driving school, and the training site have different functions and responsibilities, and they are generally not located together. The training site is the most frequently visited place during the learning process, so it is crucial to verify whether it meets your requirements. Additionally, consider whether the distance is convenient. Understanding the training site issue can effectively prevent the driving school from changing the training site midway.

When I signed up, I realized physical conditions are quite crucial, and many people overlook this. Your vision must meet the standard—for a regular driver's license, single-eye vision should be above 4.9, so it's best to wear glasses if you're nearsighted. Hearing can't be too poor either; I once saw an uncle with severe tinnitus get turned away immediately. Age is also a factor—you must be at least 18 for a C1 license, and those over 70 need an annual medical checkup after passing. Chronic conditions like epilepsy or heart disease must be managed, requiring prior medical certification. Remember to bring your ID and photos for the medical exam, and don’t skip the color vision test—otherwise, color weakness could make it hard to pass. In short, first check if your body can meet the requirements to avoid wasting time and money.

I've enrolled in driving schools three times, and now I fully understand the tricks to choosing one. Don't just believe the flashy advertisements—ask friends for genuine feedback or browse local forums for complaints. Back then, I went straight to the training ground to check the facilities; only complex road conditions offer real practice value. The quality of your instructor determines how quickly you learn, so it's best to find someone patient. Don't just go for the cheapest option either—some low-cost courses later bombard you with retake fees. Make sure to clarify whether simulation and exam fees are included. Read the fine print before signing the contract, like how much you'll pay if you fail the third test. Nowadays, scheduling exams via apps is convenient, so check others' pass rates for reference.

You really need to budget carefully when it comes to driving school fees. My cousin got tricked because he didn't ask clearly - the basic course was 3,000 yuan, but he ended up paying over 2,000 yuan extra for mock tests. Always request a detailed list when signing up, and ask whether fees like retake charges and venue costs are included. Many driving schools play word games. Keep all payment receipts or transfer records, and report any unreasonable charges by calling 12328. It's best to research exam fees in advance, like how much a Subject 2 retake costs - some cities charge over 500 yuan. Consider choosing an all-inclusive package - it's more expensive but hassle-free. Don't rush to pay deposits, comparing several schools often gets you better deals.
