Does Canceling an Unsuccessful Subject 2 Booking Count as an Attempt?
2 Answers
No, it does not count as an attempt. Successfully canceling a booking does not count towards the exam attempt limit. However, each subject can only be canceled up to three times. Here is some additional information: 1. Subject 2: Also known as the small road test, Subject 2 includes five mandatory test items: reversing into a parking space, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, making a 90-degree turn, and driving through an S-curve. 2. Regulations: Article 43 of the 'Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses' states: If an applicant is unable to attend the exam at the scheduled time, they must apply to cancel the booking at least one day in advance. If an applicant fails to attend the exam at the scheduled time without canceling, the exam will be marked as a failure. The vehicle management office must arrange the exam according to the booked venue and time.
I was also worried about this issue when I took my driver's license test last time. I canceled my subject two appointment myself when it wasn't successfully scheduled. In most places, a failed appointment doesn't count as an attempt because the system hasn't confirmed your application. However, if you actively cancel while the appointment is being processed, it may count as one attempt. That time, I waited for an hour after making the appointment without receiving an SMS notification, got anxious, and clicked cancel—only to find out later it didn't count as an attempt. I recommend everyone to patiently wait for status updates after making an appointment and not act too hastily. Test attempts are precious, and reducing unnecessary operations gives you more opportunities to practice. Keep checking the traffic management APP for real-time information to ensure every step is correct.
