When Will Luoyang Driving Test Appointments Resume?

Luoyang motor vehicle driver's license examinations and related services have been fully and orderly resumed since September 3, 2021. Candidates can check through the "Traffic Management 12123" app and independently complete online appointment services according to their personal circumstances. Overview: Traffic Management 12123 is the official client of the Internet Traffic Safety Comprehensive Service Management Platform, with technical support provided by the Traffic Management Research Institute of the Ministry of Public Security. The service targets nationwide motor vehicle owners, drivers, and other users. Services: Provides comprehensive traffic safety services including personal user registration for the internet service platform, appointment, acceptance, and processing of motor vehicle/driver's license/illegal handling services, traffic safety information inquiries, service notifications and reminders, service guidance, and road access services.

Recently, I've seen many Luoyang students asking about driving test appointments. I just passed my Subject 3 test at the New District test site last month. I recommend paying close attention to the official WeChat account and Weibo of Luoyang Traffic Police. They always post a notice two days in advance when resuming appointments. When I was taking my Subject 2 test, it was suspended due to the pandemic, but I saw the resumption announcement on their official account on the third day. By the way, the Traffic Management 12123 APP opens a nighttime quota release channel. The success rate of refreshing for slots after 9 PM is particularly high—that's how I secured my Subject 3 test.

Yesterday I passed by the Mangshan test site and saw exam cars running, so I specifically asked the security guard at the gate. He said the resumption is being done in batches depending on the test site type. For example, the Subject 2 (parking and maneuvers) grounds were the first to reopen, while the road test has to wait for system debugging. He advised not to rely solely on the app and suggested calling the driving school directly for updates, which is more reliable. I previously managed to book a slot only after my coach shared an internal notice. He also taught me to grab less popular time slots on the first day of reopening—afternoon sessions at 2 PM didn’t even require any rush.

Just asked the driving school group, and indeed some students managed to book their Subject 1 test today! The key is to keep an eye on the gray button in the driving test system—if it's clickable, it means the system is back up. Remember last year after the heavy rain, the system resumed without any prior notice, and someone in the group successfully booked their slot by checking in the middle of the night. It's recommended to set an hourly reminder. Recently reopened test centers will prioritize students whose learning permits are about to expire, so you should check how much time is left on your driving study certificate.

My coach revealed that they are currently debugging new exam vehicles, and the tests may gradually resume next week. Here’s a little tip for you: Don’t just focus on the Luoyang test site. Smaller test centers like Yanshi and Mengjin have lower capacity but are easier to book, and the road test routes for Subject 3 are simpler. Last time the system crashed, I switched to a county test site and finished the whole process in just forty minutes. Remember to prepare route maps for off-site test locations in advance—some driving schools offer accompanying services for exams.

I saw the news that the provincial driving test system is undergoing upgrades, but Luoyang should be ready soon. Once when I encountered a system failure, I went to the DMV to schedule in person. The staff at the window provided an internal scheduling list, and now they release slots every Friday at 3 PM. I recommend bringing your ID card and visiting the DMV directly. If the system is open, they can secure a spot for you on-site, which is much more reliable than competing online.
