現在人們可以在家中參加汽車和摩托車的學習者考試。這有助於居住在遠離城市的人們。同時也意味著前往辦公室的人數減少，讓預約路考變得更加容易。

考試結束後，您必須前往辦公室。工作人員將核對您的身分證明文件，進行視力檢查並拍照。這是整體計畫的第一階段。到 2027 年，民眾將可以使用線上方式續領駕照。

⚡ Focus: 'Can' and 'Cannot'

In this text, we see how to talk about possibilities and rules using a very simple word: Can.

The Rule: Use Can $\rightarrow$ Yes, it is possible. Use Cannot $\rightarrow$ No, it is not possible.

Examples from the text:

"People can now take the learner's test at home." $\rightarrow$ (It is possible now)
"You cannot use a phone." $\rightarrow$ (It is forbidden/not possible)
"People can renew their licenses online." $\rightarrow$ (Future possibility)

Quick Tip for A2: Notice that after can or cannot, the action word (verb) stays simple.

$\checkmark$ can take
$\checkmark$ cannot use
$\times$ can taking / cannot used
