After the driving school time expires, previous test results become invalid, and you must reapply for the exams. The validity period for obtaining a driver's license is 3 years, which means you must complete all tests from Subject 1 to Subject 4 within this timeframe. Otherwise, you will need to start over from Subject 1. Here are the methods to check the remaining time for your driving test: 1. The learning driving certificate will display the start and end dates of the validity period. On the Comprehensive Traffic Safety Service Management Platform, select "Print Learning Driving Certificate" to print or save it locally. 2. When using the Traffic Management 12123 app to schedule an exam and select a test center, the remaining time for the driving test will be displayed at the top. If it is not shown, click the fold button to expand it.

I used to work as a tutor at a driving school and often encountered cases where students' learning periods expired. This usually happens due to long periods without practice or excessive delays from failed tests. First, don't panic—contact the customer service of the driving school where you registered and directly ask if an extension is possible. If so, you may just need to pay a small renewal fee. However, most places require re-registration, meaning you'll have to start over with paperwork and fees, including a new medical checkup and course enrollment. I recommend checking your previous exam records—some driving schools might retain your theoretical test scores, saving you some hassle. Also, inquire about the traffic management bureau's policies in case there are special procedures. Delaying too long might even affect your eligibility to reapply. Safety comes first, so act promptly and don't delay.

I once experienced the awkward situation of my driving school time expiring. That year, I was busy with an internship and completely forgot about learning to drive, so it expired in just six months. When I went to negotiate with the original driving school, they said I had to re-enroll, but they reduced some fees. When I started learning again, I was more focused than before and passed the test on the first try. A word of advice: don't waste energy regretting it—call the driving school immediately to schedule a resolution; relearning is a great opportunity to rebuild your foundation, and your driving skills might improve even faster. Always keep track of your progress to avoid missing deadlines again.

If your driving school time has expired, just deal with it promptly—it's no big deal. First, check the driving school's official website or app to find contact information and policies; usually, you can either pay to extend the period or re-enroll from scratch. Don’t worry about the new course being too long—most parts can be quickly reviewed. A friend of mine did the same, and he finished re-learning and passed the exam in just two weeks. Bring your ID card and old materials to the driving school for confirmation, and don’t let this disrupt your daily routine.
