Will a message be sent if the Subject 3 test is canceled due to weather?

Yes, a message will be sent. Here is the relevant information: Introduction: Subject 3, also known as the road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. It is the abbreviation for the road driving skills and safe civilized driving knowledge test in the motor vehicle driver's examination. Test content: The road driving skills test varies for different types of vehicles eligible for driving. Generally, it includes: preparing to get on the car, starting, driving straight, shifting gears, changing lanes, parking by the side of the road, going straight through intersections, turning left at intersections, turning right at intersections, passing pedestrian crossings, passing school zones, passing bus stops, meeting vehicles, overtaking, making U-turns, and driving at night.
When the driving test (Subject 3) is canceled due to weather conditions, driving schools usually notify candidates via SMS, which I have experienced. Last time I had a test scheduled during a heavy rain warning, and I received a notification message the day before, informing me that the test was postponed and providing the new test date. However, there are exceptions. For example, a friend of mine didn’t receive the message due to an SMS system failure and ended up making a wasted trip to the test center. It is recommended that candidates register their accurate mobile numbers in the driving school system in advance, check SMS notifications before the test, and avoid blocking the driving school’s number. Within 24 hours before the test, they can proactively contact their instructor to confirm the situation. In case of severe weather, it’s advisable to check their phones frequently. Nowadays, many driving schools also use official accounts to push notifications or even send group messages to candidates, so paying attention to multiple channels is safer.
As someone who frequently organizes driving tests, I'm very familiar with the notification process for weather-related cancellations of Subject 3 exams. Typically, the testing center first issues an alert to driving schools, which then uniformly notify candidates via SMS platforms. The text messages are concise, usually including the cancellation reason and follow-up arrangements. I recommend candidates verify in advance whether the mobile number listed on their exam reservation form is correct, as many cases of missed notifications are due to expired contact numbers. Nowadays, some cities also allow checking exam status changes through the Traffic Management 12123 app, providing dual-channel confirmation for greater peace of mind. In case you don't receive notification and discover the cancellation upon arriving at the test site, don't panic - security offices at all test centers maintain cancellation records for verification.
