What to Do If You Haven't Completed Your Driver's License Within Three Years?
2 Answers
You can get a refund if you haven't completed your driver's license within three years of registration. When the remaining subjects are not completed within the three-year validity period, the driving school must refund part of the training fee. Below is a detailed introduction to three scenarios regarding whether you can get a refund for your driver's license: 1. If you haven't taken any exams after enrolling in the driving school: When you haven't participated in the subject one training or, due to the driving school's reasons, haven't been arranged to participate in subject two training within 60 days after completing the subject one exam, the driving school should provide a full refund. 2. If you have passed subject one but haven't completed the remaining subjects: If you have passed some subjects but haven't completed the remaining ones within the three-year validity period, the driving school needs to refund part of the training fee. However, if the three-year period is exceeded entirely due to the student's personal reasons, the driving school may not provide a refund. 3. Scheduling an exam when the driver's license validity is about to expire: If the study driving certificate has less than six months of validity left, students can switch to priority scheduling when booking an exam. During priority scheduling, students can choose exam sessions with available priority slots for booking. As long as the booking application is successful and the student does not have any other regulatory conditions that disqualify them from scheduling the exam, the exam will be arranged.
Oh, I've encountered a similar situation before. I passed the written test for my driver's license but didn't complete the road test within three years, so the certificate automatically expired. This is because traffic rules are frequently updated to ensure everyone's knowledge stays fresh for safety. I checked with the DMV and found out that I had to retake the written test (Subject 1) and the medical exam, which costs around 200 to 300 RMB. Don't worry, many people let it expire and re-registering is quick. Download a driving test app like 'Driving Test Treasure' to review the questions, and you can be ready in a week or two. The key is to take several mock tests to reinforce your knowledge. There's no restriction on the road test part, so after passing the written test, schedule your road test promptly. Remember, safety comes first—take your time, and you'll get your license eventually. Think of it as a refresher to strengthen your driving awareness.
