Road Test Cancellations

If you would like to cancel or reschedule a road test, please call our customer service office at 311 or (202) 737-4404 at least 48 hours prior to your scheduled road test.

Your road test may be cancelled for one or more of the reasons listed below.

  • The examiner believes he or she would have trouble reaching the brake or otherwise stopping the test vehicle in an emergency.
  • There is inclement weather or other circumstances beyond DMV's control that make the road test dangerous.
  • You or your vehicle have not met all of the road test requirements.

If your road test is cancelled, call our customer service office at 311 or (202) 737-4404 or visit the road test appointment scheduling information page to learn more about scheduling an appointment.

Note: Failure to cancel a scheduled road test within two business days will result in a $10 cancellation fee. This fee will be collected the next time you complete a license-related transaction. This fee will not be charged if you cancel your road test prior to two business days. You can cancel a road test by calling the DMV Call Center at 311 or (202) 737-4404.
