I just spent two weeks in Kunming with a gas scooter, which i left there as I will return there in a few weeks.... Inside the first ring they dont like motos..but no one stopped me and all is cool...but the city has a sit load of cameras...but the friends i made there who race around on Kymco scooter..with license plates... say that the cameras technology doesnt pick up motocycle plates..whatever that means...if they can im going to have a pile of tickets under my plate from another county...

so i plan to move to Kunming and find the city new and organized with beautiful scenery and climate and the people in cars follow the rules....

but about you taking the test...don't under estimate the exam as it is poorly translated, for instance 'passing' is driving down the road...not overtaking another car as it would be in the USA. also you are only allowed 10 wrong answers...and can be asked a series of 'medical' questions with regard to fixing broken bones....

I had mine translated..usa license...and the translator is paid to do that exactly as it is stated on your lic..from your country..so good luck with the 'provisional' designation...
the problem i had..is in the usa the driver lic. with regard to cars in based on the weight of the vehicle..in China its the number of occupants in the car.... whereas, i have both moto and car here in china...

when i went through the process for my moto they wouldnt give me a lic until i bought a motorcycle..but the motorcyle dealers wouldnt sell me a motorcycle without a lic....for the purpose of your question...i talked to many traffic police until one would allow me to take the test without buying one..go figure!

then when i bought one with a chinese lic...i couldnt register it in my name because im a foreigner...a car yes..moto no! again go figure!

so check with where you live in kunming if you can register with your address or if you have to live a part of the city that will allow registering... i visited a traffic police in kumning about that and there answer made me feel i needed to sneak away with my moto before they saw it!

im new to Kunming so if you have any input ...thanks......take many practice tests before you sit for the computer exam...good luck
