How Many Times Can You Cancel a Scheduled Exam?

Scheduled exams can be canceled up to three times during the acceptance period. Below is extended information about the driving test process: The procedure for obtaining a driver's license includes registration, traffic rules study, subject one exam, subject two exam, subject three exam, and subject four exam. The pole test can be taken 20 days after passing the traffic rules exam, and the road test can be taken 40 days after passing the traffic rules exam, meaning the fastest time to complete is 40 days. Notes: The subject two exam can only be taken 10 working days after passing subject one. Currently, it is fully electronic and allows two consecutive attempts. During the test, the engine must not stall, the vehicle must not stop twice, and poles or lines must not be touched. During the subject three exam, the instructor is in the passenger seat, evaluating the candidate's proficiency in starting, stopping, turning, and making U-turns. Subject four involves actual road driving—don't be afraid, and upon completion, you can obtain your license.

When I first started learning to drive, I was also worried about this. There are limits on the number of times you can cancel your driving test appointment, usually a maximum of two or three times. If you exceed that, you'll have to wait for the queue again or pay extra fees, such as 50 to 100 yuan. I recommend checking the weather and your schedule in advance to avoid last-minute cancellations. Make sure you're in good physical condition before taking the theory test (Subject 1) and the road test; I once had to cancel due to a cold and ended up with only one chance left. Excessive cancellations might also affect your priority for future appointments or even get you blacklisted by the driving school. It's best to confirm the local rules with your instructor and not test the limits. Properly scheduling your test times can help avoid these troubles—after all, driving safety comes first.

I used to think about this too. When I was getting my driver's license, the rule was that you could cancel up to three times, and any more would result in a fine or delay your progress. It varies by region—Beijing might be stricter, while Shanghai is more lenient. A friend of mine had to wait a month to retake the test after canceling too many times. I suggest checking the local traffic bureau's website or calling customer service to confirm the exact number. Try not to cancel too often—confirm your plans two days in advance and bring all necessary documents to avoid surprises. Safe driving requires planning, and fewer cancellations can also improve your pass rate. Don’t stress; just make sure you're fully prepared before booking.

The number of times you can cancel a scheduled test is generally two to three times. Exceeding the limit may result in being locked out, requiring you to wait for a new schedule or pay a fee. It depends on the driving school and local regulations, so don't guess. I recommend asking the official authority or your instructor directly. Proper management can help avoid trouble.
