Race to learn to drive for… easy parking

With the information about to apply more driving test on simulation software, many people quickly signed up for driving lessons to “race” to get a license.

Many people think that from July 1 to here, learning and taking the driving license test (GPLX) will be more difficult when having to test more simulation software. Adding a simulation exam will add another step to getting a driver’s license, and the tuition fee may also increase. From the above worries, many people “race” to register for driving lessons, causing many centers to be overloaded.

Worry about difficult exams, increase fees

Mr. Phan Minh Khoi (Thu Duc City, Ho Chi Minh City) shared: “In the past few days, I have heard that the exam will be applied on simulation software in the near future. Afraid of the difficult test, I invited some relatives to take driving lessons early. Learn early, test early, save costs and “escape” the other software.

As noted by PV, at some driver training centers in Ho Chi Minh City, the number of people coming to apply is quite a lot, leading to a situation of documents stacking. Many centers are already full. If students submit a new application, they have to wait until July or even September to take the exam.

“When students register, there will be a theory class. However, to get a B2 license, students have to wait 4-6 months to have an exam schedule and this is also the training schedule prescribed by the Department of Transport” – a consultant of a driver training institution in Hanoi. HCMC said.

This employee also added that from July 1, the cabin equipment will be applied. At that time, learners on the cabin device will have a device to monitor the study time and strict attendance. And students studying according to the old regulations will also take the exam according to the old regulations.

“Students who apply early will be assigned to the course soon, if the Department of Transport arranges the schedule early, they will be able to take the exam earlier” – this employee further advises.

The consultant of another facility also shared that earlier this year people took a lot of driving lessons because of the epidemic last year. Applicants are also increasing because they want to “avoid” the simulation software exam. “When officially applying this software, the tuition fee will also increase, expected from June” – this employee said.

No official information yet

A representative of a driver training and testing center in Ho Chi Minh City said that currently there is no official information about the simulation software exam. Therefore, the centers have not yet communicated to the registration office to inform the students.

“When the Ministry of Transport has an official dispatch to apply and has an effective date of implementation, it will be official” – this person said.

This position also noted that when people register at service units, they need to be careful. “Instead of guessing old and young, people should go directly to a reputable training center or the registration office of that center for advice. Avoid panic when the information is not official and cheated and lost money “- the representative recommended.

Talking to Ho Chi Minh City Law, Mr. Ngo Dinh Quang, Head of the Department of Management of Tests and Licensing, Ho Chi Minh City Department of Transport, said: “The Department is waiting for the Ministry of Transport to amend a new circular regulating training and supervision. driving license and the circular is expected to take effect from May”.

Mr. Quang also said that currently, each driver training center has a suitable training plan and flow, not as much as you want to train. Therefore, people need to be careful not to believe in fraudulent units that lose money and cannot study or take exams.

“People have a habit of going to Google to type search, the first ad pages are put up, even social networking sites run ads. Therefore, people should find out about reputable driver training centers and the information listed on the website of the Department of Transport for reliability “- Mr. Quang emphasized.
