Can I learn to drive during the epidemic? What should I do if my driving lessons expire during the epidemic?

We all know that the new coronavirus is a relatively powerful new virus. It is highly contagious. In order to avoid infection and prevent the spread of the virus, many local service agencies have suspended their services. So can you learn to drive during the epidemic? Let's take a closer look!

Can I learn to drive during the epidemic?

It is not possible to learn to drive in most areas, especially in places where the epidemic is severe.

As good news continues to come from the national fight against the epidemic, the number of confirmed cases in some cities has been zero for many days. Driving schools across the country are making intensive preparations to resume work. However, it will probably take some time to learn to drive, so please consult your respective driving school for specific details.

Currently, the driving test is not open nationwide, and most cities still have not received relevant notifications. Depending on the severity of the epidemic, some areas have only opened up vehicle management related services, and driving test training is still suspended.

What to do if driving lessons expire during the epidemic

Usually extended by three months.

The validity period of learner driving certificates has been adjusted in batches. For learner driving certificates with a validity period between January 23, 2020 and April 30, 2020, the comprehensive application platform will uniformly extend the validity period of learner driving certificates by 3 months.

I hope that students will not take it lightly while staying at home. In their spare time, they can review and consolidate the skills they have just learned in the driving school and the details of the test items to make themselves more confident.

At the same time, pay attention to diet and rest, strive to participate in training and exams in the best condition, and shorten the certification period.

Take good personal protection, wear a mask when going out, and avoid contact with people with the epidemic. The epidemic is spreading across the country and has not yet passed the peak. It is recommended not to go out, not to visit friends, and wear a mask when going out for protection.

What should I do when my driving lessons are over?

First of all, you need to figure out whether the validity period exceeds three years or you have simply stayed in the driving school for three years.

1. If the validity period has exceeded three years, the student's file will be cancelled and the student's learning record will be a blank sheet of paper. The student will need to re-register and take the exam from the beginning.

2. If the 3-year validity period has not expired, and the student has only stayed in the driving school for 3 years, then it depends on whether the student signed a contract with the driving school with a date limit when registering. After all, the student has stayed in the driving school for too long and occupied the quota. In this case, most driving schools will specify in the contract: if the student has not completed all the subjects within a certain period of time, he or she will have to pay a delay fee.

What should you pay attention to when learning to drive after the epidemic?

1. Take your temperature before driving

Take your temperature before departure. If your temperature is higher than 37.3 degrees Celsius or you have a cold, it is not recommended to travel. There are testing stations at all highway exits. For the sake of you and others, it is better to postpone your departure if your temperature is abnormal.

2. Don’t open the car windows

Do not open the car windows and sunroof while driving. If you feel stuffy, you can turn on the external circulation to prevent droplets from entering the car.

3. Alcohol or wet wipes

After passing through urban roads, disinfect the door handles. Wet wipes can ensure that hands are disinfected after touching other objects.
