Nowadays, driving a car has become a skill that most people want to master. Since the winter vacation is here, the peak season for learning to drive a car has also arrived. After all, you don't have to bear the sunburn of the scorching summer! So, do you have a driver's license? Or are you ready to take a driving test?


▲ Why you should prepare the driving test in winter


How to get started? 


First, choose a driving school. Some people seek advice from acquaintance and get introduced to a coach accordingly. Some would rather search information by themselves, comparing the comments from the public, popularity, and then make a decision.


Specify the location for a medical examination. After choosing a driving school, the coach will take you to the designated location for a medical examination. You will have to identify color and to prove that you are not a red-green blind.

Then it is limb-related checks, confirming that you do not have any physical problem that can affect your driving. Vision detection and height measure are also included. Once you have passed these checks, you can register for the driving test and start your courses with coach.



Tricky rules of driving test 


On Oct 10, 2017, new regulations of national driving test were released, making it the strictest one in history, with the pass rate of many places in the country dropping significantly. 



You will not want to make the following mistakes when taking the test: failing to complete the reverse parking in 210 seconds; failing to complete the side parking within 90 seconds; not looking at the back of the car before starting it or getting out of it.



Difficulties when trying to pass the test


1. Turning and reversing


The rearview mirror can only see a narrow part of the rear scene. During the turning and reversing process, the scene in the rearview mirror is constantly changing, which is not easy to read and must be carefully observed. If the view is unclear, you should park immediately. Don't mess with the steering wheel and blindly fall back.



2. Determine the distance from the front car


When the lower edge of the rear wheel of the front car is flush with the lower edge of your windshield, the distance is 3-5 meters, which is safe for parking. 


When the lower edge of the front bumper is flush with the lower edge of your windshield, the distance is about 2 meters, the parking distance is safe, and the pedestrian distance is safe.



When the upper edge of the front bumper is flush with the lower edge of your windshield, the distance is 0.5-1 meters, which is not safe. Although many experienced drivers would follow cars like this, it is likely to cause a rear-end collision for a novice.

My biggest question is...


'The questions in learning to drive a car' has been quite popular on Weibo these days. Netizens shared their stories about their experience in preparing for the driving test.



'My biggest question is that why they can't build the road a little straighter.




'In fact, I have plenty to ask. But somehow I pretend to know everything when I see my coach's look.'


Some couldn't understand their coaches' jargon.



About International Driving Permit


An International Driver's Permit (IDP) allows you to drive a vehicle in another country, as long as you also have a valid driver's license issued by your country. It is also recognized as a valid form of identification in over 175 countries as well as by many major car rental companies internationally.



Getting an International Driver's Permit (sometimes incorrectly called a license) can take anywhere from a day to a few weeks, depending on whether you're going through walk-in processing or applying via mail, so make sure to plan ahead if you're planning to drive on your international trip.



China does not recognize the International Driving Permit or other foreign driver's licenses. Only foreigners with a valid residence permit can apply for a Chinese driver's license. Tourists are therefore not allowed to drive in China.
