Do I Need to Cancel if the Appointment Fails?

If your driver's license test appointment fails, there is no need to cancel the appointment. After receiving the notification of the failed appointment, you can immediately proceed to schedule the next test. When the appointment quota is not full: According to regulations, if the test appointment quota is not full, the appointment deadline is 3 working days before the test date, and the appointment results will be announced at that time. When the appointment quota is full: If the test appointment quota is full, the appointment deadline is 5 working days before the test date, and the appointment results will be announced at that time. Students can only reschedule the test time and location after either failing the appointment or canceling the existing appointment.
I think if a car maintenance appointment fails, it's still necessary to cancel it promptly just in case. I once tried booking a service on the 4S shop app, and the system showed the appointment failed. I was lazy and didn't follow up, but due to a system bug, it was recorded as successful. When I arrived on the day, I found out the timing was wrong and was even charged a penalty. Later, I learned that appointment failures could be due to network issues or full slots, but the backend database might not update. If you don't cancel, it might still be pending there. To avoid hassle, now whenever an appointment fails, I immediately log into the app to cancel or call customer service to confirm the cancellation status, preventing duplicate bookings or extra charges. Checking confirmation emails is also crucial to see if additional steps are needed.
