Driving Test Arrangement under Bad WeatherAccording to the Transport Department, if either Tropical Cyclone Warning Signal no. 8 or above is hoisted, an "Extreme Conditions" announcement or Black Rainstorm Warning Signal is issued, driving tests of all vehicle classes (including written test and road test) will be rescheduled. If such signals are issued before service hours but lowered after 7:00 a.m., all driving tests scheduled before 1:00 p.m. will be cancelled. If such signals are still hoisted at 11:30 a.m., all driving tests in the afternoon session will also be cancelled. Candidates who are scheduled to take driving tests do not have to report to the test centre. In addition, if the Pre-No. 8 Special Announcement is issued, the driving tests of which the expected completion time is within one hour from the Tropical Cyclone Warning Signal no. 8 hoisting time mentioned in the Special Announcement (except for written test) will be cancelled.
If the Black Rainstorm Warning Signal is issued during service hours (i.e. 8:30 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.), all driving tests will be suspended. If the Black Rainstorm Warning Signal is lowered during service hours, the driving test service will resume, depending on the weather and traffic conditions. For candidates whose driving tests have not been conducted due to the abovementioned bad weather conditions, they would be approached and notified by our staff of the new appointment arranged later.
The Driving Examiner has the right not to conduct a driving test after considering the road situation under rainy days or slippery roads as well as safety concerns. Affected candidates would be notified by our staff of the new appointment arranged if the test is cancelled.
