What to Do If the Driving School Closes Before Completing the Exam?
2 Answers
You can negotiate with the closed driving school to transfer your valid test scores to a new driving school based on the driving training contract, payment receipts, and the agreement signed with the new driving school. Students will need to pay the remaining training fees and exam fees for the remaining subjects at the new driving school, with specific charges to be determined according to the signed contract. Additional Information: Below is a relevant introduction to the subject test content: 1. Subject 1: Road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge test (Subject 1) written exam, computer-based. 2. Subject 2: Field driving skills test (Subject 2) on-site, actual vehicle. Only pass or fail. The five mandatory tests include reversing into a parking space, parallel parking, S-curve, right-angle turn, and hill start and stop, conducted in sequence. 3. Subject 3: Road driving skills test (Subject 3) on the road or simulated site, actual vehicle. 4. Subject 4: Safe and civilized driving-related knowledge (Subject 4) written exam.
I also encountered this issue last year when the coach suddenly messaged me saying the driving school had shut down. I was in the middle of preparing for Subject 2 and was extremely anxious. Later, I figured out a solution: first, check the status of your student records on the 12123 traffic management app, then take your ID to the vehicle management office to transfer your records to a new driving school. Remember to ask the original driving school for a transfer certificate—if they refuse, file a complaint with the Driving Training Department of the Transportation Bureau, as they oversee such matters. Some students formed a rights protection group, shared lawyer fees to sue, and recovered part of their tuition—the litigation cost was only 50 yuan. Don’t panic; most cities allow one free transfer between driving schools, and accumulated training hours won’t be reset.
