How Many Times Can You Cancel a Driving Test Appointment?
2 Answers
You can cancel a driving test appointment up to three times. Below is relevant information about the motor vehicle driving test: Test Content: The motor vehicle driver's test is divided into three sections: the knowledge test on road traffic safety laws and regulations, the field driving skills test, and the road driving skills and safe civilized driving common sense test. Retake Policy: Each test section can be taken once, and if failed, the applicant is allowed one retake. If the applicant does not take the retake or fails the retake, the current test session is terminated, and the applicant must schedule a new test. However, the retake for Section 2 (field driving skills) and Section 3 (road driving skills) must be scheduled at least ten days later. If the safe civilized driving common sense test in Section 3 is failed, the passing score for the road driving skills test remains valid.
As an experienced instructor who frequently mentors new drivers, I believe this matter depends on the specific situation. In most areas, you can cancel your appointment through the traffic management app for free about two or three times. If you exceed this limit, the system may charge a small fee or make you wait a few days before rescheduling. One of my students canceled too frequently and was charged 50 yuan on the third attempt, which also delayed their exam. The rationale behind this is to ensure fairness and prevent people from hogging slots without taking the test. My advice is to choose your exam date carefully in advance. Life can be unpredictable, so if you need to cancel, do it promptly—don’t delay. Also, make good use of the app to check the rules, as policies may vary by city. For example, Beijing has stricter restrictions. Overall, stay calm, plan ahead, and avoid wasting your cancellation opportunities lightly.
