And YES Shanghai license bureau offers the test in English, and YES they also offer them to driving schools and NO the driving schools are not offering them to the public. Why???? NO why, maybe there is no money in it, or maybe it is to much of a hassle for them or it is just China and its bureaucracy, I have no idea.

So I am gone start from square one and ask one of my friends from another province to help me and see if I can do the test there, but I am not so optimistic anymore about getting my Motorbike license in China.

If any of you guys have some suggestions I would love to hear.
Yeah I'm sad to also admit that I hit this barrier a few weeks ago. Its a real pain in the arss but hey ho, I guess this is how it's going. Actually, I told them I'd do the test in Chinese because I couldn't be fucked with going to another city. Then after all the health check I return to the school and they ask me "why is your vosa not issued in shanghai?"

At that moment I didn't hit until the woman said we only accept the visas from shanghai. Which is the residence permit visa holders, so working or studying visa holders can take the test but any other visa holder cant.

I'm currently in the process for finding a new way to get it, but with being busy this stuff is hard to sort out.
