With driving licenses in China becoming ever more expensive and difficult to obtain, an increasing number of people are turning to neighbouring South Korean to get their hands on one.
The procedure is much simpler there but more importantly, all these people need to do after getting back to China is to convert their newly-obtained South Korean license into a Chinese one – cutting short the application process by months – and saving a huge amount of money.
(QD) On hexun.com, Chinese applicant Wang Yingfang proudly holds up her new Korean license,
It's so easy to get a driver's license in South Korea. I was nervous at first but it is so much cheaper and faster and the process of converting it into a Chinese one couldn't have been easier. I will definitely tell my friends to go to South Korea to take a driving test!
(WY) Mr. Tian Zai jokes on weibo.com,
No wonder there're so many traffic accidents in South Korean TV dramas – that must be a true reflection of how they live! Still, traffic accidents give South Korean drivers an excellent excuse to get cosmetic surgeries done!
(BL) A South Korean white collar worker, Shim Hyun-il, tells chinadaily.com,
It's become so easy to get a license here that learners are still terrible drivers even after passing their tests. This is about people's lives, so safety should always come first. The rules for issuing a driver's license should be strengthened to reinforce others' welfare and safety
(QD) Ms. Xu, a Chinese student studying at a South Korean university, says on newsbusiness.cn,
Don't believe the adverts in some of these Chinese travel agencies about getting a license in seven days - it's a lie! According to official South Korean policy, only expats with foreign registration cards issued by the Immigration Office are entitled to a local driving test. Those without proper residency cards can neither apply for a license nor drive there. It's impossible for tourists to get any residency card in South Korea and therefore no driving test is available.
(WY) But Mr. Qi, who spent years in South Korea where he got his driver's license, tells cntv.cn,
Even though it's easier to pass a driving test in South Korea, it's still not the case if you are a learner driver! Many of my friends still needed several times before they passed the test in South Korea.
(BL) Dao Ge writes on blog.sina.com.cn,
Not only South Korea but driving tests in lots of countries are easier and less expansive than China. Every year a huge number of Chinese take their driving tests abroad and convert their foreign driving licenses when they come back. Corruption and bribery come into play as well. It's the Chinese government which should have made the conversion process much stricter in the first place.
