Can the driving test be postponed?

The driving test cannot be extended beyond the three-year limit, and the test results will be invalidated, requiring re-registration for the exam. According to the regulations on the application and use of motor vehicle driving licenses, Article 38 states that applicants learning to drive on the training ground and roads must obtain a driving learning certificate as required. The validity period of the driving learning certificate is three years, and applicants must complete the subject two and subject three tests within this period. If the tests are not completed within the validity period, the passed subject results will be invalidated. The calculation method for the driving test validity period: The validity period starts counting from the day the applicant passes subject one and receives the driving skill test permit. The three-year validity period officially begins on this day, and the paper clearly states the start and end dates of the three-year validity period.
Of course, you can postpone your driving test! I remember when I was taking my driving test, I had to apply for a postponement due to a sudden business trip. Generally speaking, if you're feeling unwell, have a family emergency, or encounter unexpected circumstances, you can apply for a postponement at the driving school or the vehicle management office, as long as you provide proof. However, it's better to apply in advance and not wait until the last day to avoid missing the opportunity. The vehicle management office has specific regulations, such as requiring genuine reasons for postponement and not abusing the system, otherwise it might affect your next test arrangement. After postponing, make sure to remember the new date clearly, and it's best to set a reminder on your phone. I think this is quite considerate, as life is full of surprises, but for safety reasons, make sure you're fully prepared with your driving skills before taking the test and don't rush to hit the road right after passing.
