Driving school is a training unit that can enable people to master driving skills, teach people to drive safely and civilized, and assist people to obtain a driver's license through the examination of the vehicle management department. According to the catalogue, it should be classified as a training unit in the transportation industry, but due to the high degree of marketization, a more reasonable method should be classified as a service industry in the tertiary industry.

According to Article 20 of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China, "motor vehicle driving training is socialized, and the competent transportation department implements qualification management for driving training schools and driving training classes".

According to Article 19 of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China, anyone who drives a motor vehicle shall obtain a motor vehicle driver's license according to law. To apply for a motor vehicle driver's license, the driver's license conditions stipulated by the public security department of the State Council shall be met; If they pass the examination, the traffic administrative department of the public security organ shall issue the motor vehicle driving license of the corresponding category. "

Therefore, the competent departments of driving schools are the Ministry of Transport and the Ministry of Public Security.
