Core Features That Power Realistic Driver Education

• Theory Examination System - Comprehensive written tests with customizable question banks covering traffic laws, road signs, and safe driving practices. Administrators can easily add, edit, or remove questions to match their server's specific traffic rules and roleplay standards.
• Practical Driving Tests - Route-based driving exams that evaluate players on speed control, traffic law compliance, parking skills, and overall vehicle handling. The script tracks infractions in real-time, providing instant feedback and fair scoring.
• Multiple License Categories - Support for various license types including standard automobile licenses, commercial vehicle permits, and motorcycle endorsements. Each category can have unique requirements and examination criteria tailored to your server's needs.
• Instructor Role Management - Dedicated instructor job with permissions to administer tests, review results, and issue licenses. Perfect for creating roleplay employment opportunities and generating player-to-player interactions.
• Automated Scoring System - Fair and consistent grading that eliminates bias and ensures every player faces the same standards. The system automatically calculates test results based on configurable pass/fail thresholds.
• Database Integration - Seamless ESX database connectivity that stores player license records, test history, and certification status. All data persists across server restarts and character sessions.
• Configurable Pricing - Set custom fees for theory tests, practical exams, and license renewals to integrate the driving school into your server's economic ecosystem. Prices can be adjusted based on license type and complexity.
• Multi-Language Support - Built-in localization framework allows you to translate all UI elements, questions, and notifications into your preferred language, making the script accessible to international communities.
• Test Cooldown Timers - Prevent exam spam with configurable retry delays that encourage players to prepare properly between attempts. Administrators can set different cooldown periods for theory versus practical tests.
• Result Notifications - Clear visual feedback shows players their exam performance, including which questions they missed or what driving infractions they committed, creating learning opportunities from failures.

Perfect For These Server Types

What Makes This Driving School Script Stand Out

Unlike basic license scripts that simply charge a fee and grant instant access, this comprehensive system demands actual player engagement and skill demonstration. The theory exams test knowledge retention, while practical tests evaluate real driving ability under pressure. This creates genuine achievement when players pass their tests and adds weight to the license system on your server. The script's flexibility allows complete customization of difficulty - you can make it as easy or challenging as your community prefers.

The integrated instructor role transforms what could be a boring NPC interaction into dynamic player-to-player roleplay. Driving instructors become valued community members who help newcomers while earning income, creating natural mentorship opportunities. The configurable question banks and test routes mean you're never locked into default content - update your exams seasonally, add server-specific rules, or create specialty licenses that reflect unique aspects of your community.

Performance optimization ensures the script runs smoothly even during peak server hours with multiple simultaneous exams. The database integration is robust and reliable, preventing license duplication or data corruption issues that plague lesser scripts. Clear admin commands provide server managers with the tools needed to manually adjust licenses when necessary, handle edge cases, or reset player progress for second-chance scenarios.

Enhancing Your Server's Roleplay Economy

Driving schools represent realistic government services that every functioning roleplay society needs. By requiring licenses for legal vehicle operation, you create natural consequences for crime and additional layers to your server's legal system. Police gain another tool for interaction during traffic stops, courts can handle license suspension cases, and government workers have oversight responsibilities for the certification program.

The revenue generated from testing fees flows into your server's economy, whether that's funding police departments, government salaries, or public infrastructure projects. You control the pricing structure to ensure it's accessible to new players while still meaningful enough to prevent frivolous attempts. Failed test fees create money sinks that help control inflation, while successful candidates celebrate their investment paying off with new capabilities.

Support and Updates

This ESX Driving School Script comes ready for immediate deployment with comprehensive documentation covering installation, configuration, and troubleshooting. The clean, well-commented code makes modifications straightforward for administrators who want to customize beyond the config options. Whether you're adding it to an established server or building a new community, this script provides the foundation for realistic driver licensing that enhances immersion and creates engaging gameplay moments.
