Recently, a China person's mobile phone WeChat received such a Korean advertisement for learning to drive: "Zero foundation, zero pressure, three days of study+exams, Chinese test questions, the next day to get the certificate, 98% pass rate". According to statistics, in 20 12, the number of people from China who took the Korean driving test reached 23,000, a substantial increase of 60% over the previous year. Facing the increasingly difficult driving test process in China, it is very tempting to play the test and get a three-day driver's license.
Low cost, short time and easy to change photos.
A large number of South Koreans poured into South China to test their driving licenses.
Bian Xiao verification: tourists with ordinary tourist visas are not qualified for the registration examination, so they can take photos quickly to save security risks.
It is reported that nearly 70,000 China citizens have become Korean driver's license holders in the past three years. But is it really reliable to get a driver's license in Korea?
The fastest 13 hours.
It is reported that in China, drivers may have to wait one year to get a driver's license, and the driving test fee is very high, which is twice as high as that in South Korea. Therefore, some tourists from China come all the way to South Korea to get their driver's licenses, and then change them after returning home.
A driving school in the suburbs of Seoul can receive about 200 applicants from China every month. The teacher speaks Korean, so China students who don't know Korean usually stare at the TV screen in the classroom. On the screen, there are some Chinese questions that may appear in the written test.
Wang, 46, is one of the China students who went to South Korea to take the driving test. She said in an interview: "It is very easy to get a driver's license in Korea. Although I will be nervous, the process of converting a Korean driver's license into a China driver's license is very fast and convenient. " Wang said that on the first day of studying in a driving school in South Korea, the part-time interpreter in the driving school was absent, and he could only communicate with the coach through body language.
But for China people who want to take a driver's license in Korea, these are all small difficulties that can be completely overcome.
Gao, a 35-year-old housewife, said, "I will advise my friends to go to Korea to get a driver's license."
South Korea relaxed the relevant regulations on driving test and shortened the training time to 13 hours, including 6 hours of driving time. Statistics show that in the past three years, nearly 70,000 China citizens have become holders of Korean driver's licenses.
Bian Xiao Verification: Getting a Korean driver's license requires a "landing permit" and cannot be exchanged with a general tourist visa.
However, according to Bian Xiao, it is not reliable to get a Korean driver's license.
According to Korea Road Traffic Company, after the reform of 20 1 1, the difficulty of driving test in Korea has been reduced. Take the driver's license of a small manual car as an example. Driving school students need to pass the written test, skill test and three exams on the way. First of all, students need to receive free pre-test education for about one hour, followed by physical examination and written examination, and the total cost is about 654.38+00,000 won (about 58.6 yuan). They need to receive five hours of course education before the written test. The written test includes Chinese, English and other foreign languages, but the translation is not necessarily authentic. You need to take a 2-hour course before the skill test, then get on the bus and take the test at the venue. The cost is 15000 won. There will be a six-hour course before the road test, and then you will take the test according to either of the two road maps. According to the participants, the details such as line change, line pressing and turn signal are very strict, so the pass rate is very low. Ideally, you can get a driver's license in driving school training 13 hours. But if there is no foundation at all, it is completely impossible to take pictures for more than ten hours.
In addition, tourists holding ordinary tourist visas do not have a Korean foreigner entry card (Korean foreigner ID card) and are not eligible for examination registration. Therefore, the students who take the driver's license test in Korea are mainly international students. There are also some unscrupulous operators who make money by forging false certificates to defraud foreign driver's license examination qualifications, and collude with local inferior driving schools to help defraud driver's licenses. These driver's licenses will also be available when the domestic driver's license is updated. A driver's license with only travel experience is likely to make foreign driver's licenses useless.
Many Koreans also expressed concern that foreigners would flood into their country to get driver's licenses. After the simplification of the Korean driver's license examination system, the traffic accidents of novices on the road increased by 20%. If the news that South Korea is easy to get a driver's license spreads all over the world, it is also a question whether South Korea's driver's license can be recognized as an international driver's license by other countries in the future.
In addition, many people are skeptical about China people coming to get a driver's license. First of all, can I get a driver's license with a tourist visa? Second, how do China people communicate with driving school teachers? How to learn to drive if you can't communicate? Third, you need to know the traffic laws in Korea to get a driver's license in Korea. How can I learn enough in a few days? In addition, if you fail in the exam in Korea, you can't take the exam immediately. You have to wait at least a few days. Can I use a three-day tourist visa? Wait, these are all problems.
According to local laws and regulations, taking a Korean driver's license requires a "landing permit", and tourist visas and short-term business visas are not interchangeable.
