Driving tests booked around lunchtime have a high probability of being canceled or rescheduled. On some sites, the hour right before lunch and near 5 p.m. appear to be popular times for cancellations.
When someone cancels their driving test, it'll go back into the pool of available tests. This is usually instant, but cancellations are taken quickly, so you need to act fast.
To schedule your driver's test, go to the online driver's test scheduling login page(opens in a new tab). You can also use this login to cancel or reschedule a test.
Typically between 9 and 11 AM, and 2 to 4 PM are good options for lighter traffic.
How to cancel your driving test Go to the 'My Bookings' page of your MyRoadSafetyOpen in new browser tab account. Click on the 'Manage Booking' button. Select 'Cancel booking' and click 'Continue'.
Booking your driving test outside of school holidays or public holidays can be a wise choice. These periods often increase traffic and can also affect the availability of test slots and examiners. Traffic patterns can change significantly during holidays, often becoming more unpredictable.
If you already have a test booked, you can also try checking late at night. I had mine booked for the end of July, and last week I happened to look for a cancellation at like 10pm one night, and managed to get one for the following Sunday. Early morning or late night are probably your best bets.
