New driving test centre for medium goods vehicles
The medium goods vehicle driving test centre at Tai Po Road has been relocated to a new site at Chak On Road with an area of 1,500 square metres.
A spokesman for the Transport Department said its facilities included a compound designed for the testing of basic manoeuvring skills such as reverse parking, three-point-turn on a narrow road, and stop and start on a slope.
It is the second off-street driving test centre set up by the department, the first is at Hawthorn Road in Happy Valley.
The spokesman said an off-street driving test centre not only provided a safer and better testing environment for the candidates but also reduced traffic congestion on public roads.
"Transport Department will continue to look for suitable sites for the setting up of such centres in the interest of the public," he added.
