Can the Driving Test Subject 3 be Cancelled on Weekends?

[JosiahRose]

Weekend cancellations are not possible as the vehicle management offices are closed. Cancellations must be made at least one working day in advance. Article 43 of the 'Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses' revised and issued by the Ministry of Public Security stipulates: If an applicant is unable to attend the scheduled test, they must apply to cancel the appointment at least one day in advance. Applicants who fail to attend the test at the scheduled time will be deemed to have failed that test attempt. Relevant information about the driving license test is as follows: 1. Introduction: The driver's test is a qualification examination organized by the vehicle management office of the public security bureau. Only by passing the driver's test can one obtain a driver's license and legally operate motor vehicles. 2. Content: The motor vehicle driver's test consists of: Road Traffic Safety Laws, Regulations and Related Knowledge Test (also known as the 'theoretical test', abbreviated as 'Subject 1'), Field Driving Skills Test (commonly known as 'pole test', abbreviated as 'Subject 2'), and Road Driving Skills and Safe Civilized Driving Common Sense Test (commonly known as 'road test', abbreviated as 'Subject 3'). The test content and passing standards are uniformly implemented nationwide, with corresponding test items specified according to different types of vehicles eligible for driving.

As someone who just got their driver's license, I think it depends on the situation. Many driving schools have exam schedules on weekends, and cancellation is not impossible, but it usually requires action a few days in advance, such as applying through the driving school app or the Traffic Management 12123 platform. If you're late, you might get charged or not get a refund. I remember being so nervous while preparing for the test that I wanted to cancel my weekend exam, but the system only allowed changes three days in advance, so I ended up going through with it. My advice is not to delay—if you're not feeling well or have something come up a few days before the exam, handle it quickly to avoid wasting an opportunity. The third road test can be quite nerve-wracking, so practicing simulated routes and parking more can reduce last-minute panic. If you do cancel, ask your instructor about the rescheduling process to avoid delaying your license progress.

From experience, canceling the weekend driving test (Subject 3) is feasible, with the key lying in the process and timing. Most regional test systems support online cancellations, but same-day weekend cancellations may be restricted. It's best to submit your request on weekdays or in advance via a mobile app. In case of traffic jams or emergencies, promptly contact your driving school to negotiate. I recommend thorough preparation before the test—familiarize yourself with vehicle operations and examiner instructions to avoid cancellation hassles. After all, frequent cancellations lead to additional retest fees, which aren’t cost-effective. Seasoned drivers understand: even minor tests challenge your composure—don’t let small issues disrupt your plans. Stay calm to pass on the first try.

Simply put, you can cancel the third driving test (Subject 3) on weekends. I tried it on the traffic management platform—just a few clicks to reschedule, but apply early, like getting it done the day before the test. If you change your mind last minute, the driving school might help, but may charge a fee. After canceling, rest well and adjust your pace. The road test isn’t hard; the key is muscle memory—practice turns and reverse parking more, and go confidently next time for a worry-free, efficient retake.
