FEWER people are passing the driving license exam after stricter traffic laws were enacted this year.
在今年更严格的交通法规颁布之后更少人通过驾驶执照考试。
The written test, once considered the easiest part of getting a license, was creating problems for a vast majority of test takers yesterday, the first day of the new exam.
笔试，一度被认为是考驾照最简单的一部分，昨天在新考试的第一天正为绝大多数考生制造困难。
"It's too difficult," said a student, surnamed Li, after leaving a test room in Minhang District where only one of 40 students passed. "I have not seen these questions before during my preparation."
“太难了，”一位姓李的学生说，在离开闵行区的一个测试室之后，那里只有40分之一的学生通过。“在我备考期间没有见过这些问题。”
The students complained the test questions were not included in their study materials. They said their study materials did not include information on the new traffic regulations.
学生们抱怨测试问题并不包括在他们的学习材料之内。他们说他们的学习材料并不包括新交通规则的信息。
Students are only allowed to take one road test after they pass the written test.
在他们通过笔试之后考生们只允许一次路考机会。
"I'm afraid it's difficult for them to pass the test at the very beginning," said a driving instructor. "In the past, it was simple and almost all of my students passed the first time."
“在刚开始的时候恐怕他们很难通过测试，”一位驾驶教练说。“在过去，它很简单，几乎我所有的学生第一次就通过了。”
Some instructors said stricter tests will lead to better drivers in the future.
一些教练说更严格的测试将带来未来更好的司机。
Students were also having trouble with the new road test. At the Meilong driving school, only eight of 20 passed yesterday.
学生们在新路考方面也有麻烦。在梅陇驾驶学校中，20人中只有8个昨日通过考试。
