Perhaps it's because I have absolutely no need for it right now. Or that my parents think it's impossibly dangerous since most people often casually drive on the wrong side on the road and try to edge you out on the highway.
Either way, I finally got over my fear of driving and asked around about driving courses in Suzhou.
Instead, I was given tips on finding the right guys to take the test for me. And their prices.
Apparently, a friend spent RMB 5500 (roughly $780) in Shanghai and still didn't get her license. Another bargained hard and only spent RMB 1800 in Suzhou. The third just laughed and boasted that he went on a trip to Xinjiang (Western province in China) and got his license while driving around blindly in the desert.
Maybe I'll stick to my driving practice at the arcade.*
* To be honest, I did try driving once, two years ago. I got pulled over.

Or pay no money. I drove in Beijing with no license for over a year.
