What to Do If Driving Test Payment Fails?
2 Answers
If the payment for Subject 1 fails, it may be because the exam fee is already included in the registration fee, and attempting to pay again will result in failure. In this case, there is no need to worry. It could also be due to system lag. You can wait patiently and try again after the system buffers. If the lag persists, you can click the reset button to exit and then try again. Applicants can also bring their ID card and exam records to the local vehicle management office to pay the re-examination fee and exam venue fee in person. If the driving test system malfunctions, payment can be made at the manual service counter or through the instructor as a proxy.
Don't panic if your driving test payment fails. I've helped friends with this several times. The most common issues are insufficient bank card balance or payment limits, so check your card balance first. Sometimes the driving test system server lags, especially during peak periods like month-end. Try paying during off-peak hours, avoiding busy times like 9-10 AM. If payment fails, wait 2 hours before retrying to avoid duplicate charges. As a last resort, visit the DMV counter with your ID—they accept both cash and POS payments. Remember to screenshot the failure receipt. Last year, my cousin faced system maintenance before his test but resolved it in 5 minutes using a self-service payment kiosk.
