Wouldn’t bank on that! In the 2 places I did the test that did not happen. On the road course the examiner said he wasn’t even allowed to confirm what route to take! Need to memorize the map in the office and hope for the best.
You can’t make an appointment online for the first test, once they have a record of your license, medical etc. you can use the online function to make the second or subsequent appointments. The online function is handy to check how busy a particular location is before bothering to turn up though.
Some locations will allow you to book a spot over the phone, some insist you do it in person if you cannot do it online.
I got mine in Shilin in ‘99 and still don’t know how I got it. I went in to get the English booklet but they told me they only had one copy so I had to read it there. After I read it I decided to take the written test just to see how hard it was. I passed and they then asked me if I wanted to take the driving test. I said sure as I wanted to see for myself how hard it really was.
Took the driving test in an automatic. Finished and told the instructor I’d be back in a couple of months after taking the driver’s course. He said ‘no need. you passed.’
Thanks for the info everyone. Does anyone know if any of these driving schools operate outside the normal 8-4 mon thru friday hours? I work during those times.
If you don’t have a driver’s license that you can exchange, then you can go to the DMV (there’s one in Shilin), take the written test, and then take the driving test.
