Is it necessary to go to the DMV to cancel a scheduled Subject 2 test?

Canceling a scheduled Subject 2 test does not necessarily require visiting the DMV, as it depends on the situation: 1. If the cancellation is made before the scheduled deadline, i.e., before the internet review is approved, you can log in to the official website of the Comprehensive Traffic Safety Service Management Platform or use the mobile app "Traffic Management 12123" to cancel the test appointment; 2. If the review has been approved or the test appointment has been successfully scheduled, you need to visit the DMV to cancel before 12:00 noon the day before the test date. Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment and is the abbreviation for the field driving skills test. The test items for small vehicles C1 and C2 include five mandatory tests: reversing into a garage, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, turning at a right angle, and curve driving (commonly known as the S-curve). Some regions also include a sixth item: high-speed card collection.
Canceling the second subject test reservation no longer requires a trip to the vehicle management office. The Traffic Management 12123 APP is now the most convenient option, and I often handle it on my phone. Open the APP, log in, find the exam reservation section, and click the cancel button—it takes just a minute or two. Alternatively, you can visit the official website and enter your personal information to cancel. The customer service hotline can also assist you over the phone. Only consider going to the vehicle management office in emergencies or if the APP malfunctions. Remember to cancel at least one day in advance to avoid wasting fees. Make the most of online tools to save time and effort.
As someone who's been through it, I've found that canceling the Subject 2 test appointment doesn't require a trip to the DMV at all—it can all be done through an app or website. In the past, you might have had to make a trip, but now with policy optimizations, most cities support online cancellations, allowing you to handle it directly from home. If you run into any issues, just call the customer service center. A reminder to everyone: after cancellation, you might have to wait a few days before you can reschedule, so don't let it affect your subsequent plans. Safety first—reduce unnecessary outings.
