Can Driving Schools Conduct Tests on Sundays?

Driving test schedules are randomly arranged by the vehicle management office, and it's possible to book a weekend slot, though there's no guarantee as appointments may or may not fall on weekends. However, driving tests can sometimes be scheduled for weekends. The process before the subject one test is as follows: Registration: Bring your original ID card and a photocopy to the driving school registration point to enroll, then wait for the theoretical learning schedule; students with other driving licenses need to bring the original license (for additional endorsements). To learn large truck driving, you must have a local ID and be at least 21 years old. Theoretical Learning: After scheduling the theoretical learning, bring the student card and notice issued by the driving school for a two-day theoretical study session. Taking the Subject One Test: Once the student's information is verified, the driving school will arrange the subject one test. The subject one test procedure includes: physical examination, fingerprint collection, and computer-based test. Theoretical tests are scheduled on weekdays and conducted in a computerized, paperless format, mainly assessing basic knowledge of road traffic safety laws, traffic signals, and traffic rules.
When I took my driving test last year, I noticed that driving schools usually don't schedule exams on Sundays. Weekdays from Monday to Friday are their peak periods, with examiners busy handling various tests, leaving only Saturday as a possible opening on weekends. As for Sundays, most places are closed, and driving school staff also need time with their families. So before booking, I checked the exam schedule calendar on the local driving school's official website, which clearly stated they're closed on Sundays. If you're unsure, just call their customer service hotline to confirm, so you don't end up making a wasted trip like my friend did. Also, considering driving test fees aren't cheap, choosing a less busy day when booking can save you time. Remember to arrange it a few days in advance to avoid overcrowding affecting your performance.
