Will the DMV cancel exams during heavy rainstorms?
1 Answers
In cases where heavy rainstorms severely impair visibility at the test site, exam sessions may be appropriately canceled. Apart from thunderstorms, the test center will also suspend exam arrangements in response to national prevention and control requirements when other disasters occur. Otherwise, exams will generally proceed as scheduled during ordinary rainy or overcast weather. Here are some tips for taking the driving test (Subject 3) on rainy days: Rearview mirrors: Currently, sticking your head out of the window is not allowed, so you'll mostly rely on rearview mirrors to check behind you. However, rain can blur the mirrors, so wipe them clean before starting the exam. Windows: Avoid closing them too tightly, as this can cause fogging inside the car, impairing visibility and judgment accuracy. Pedals: Don't rush to step on the pedals immediately after getting in the car. Shake off any water from the soles of your shoes outside the car first to prevent slipping. Windshield wipers: You don't need to keep the wipers on continuously. Turn them on briefly before starting the fixed-point parking to clear rain from the windshield, then turn them off during the parking maneuver. Generally, visibility should remain adequate.
