Cessation of computerised driving test
The Hong Kong School of Motoring has informed the Transport Department that the computerised "touch-screen" Part A (Written) Test pilot project, undertaken by the School but open to all candidates taking driving tests, will cease on June 30 due to cost-saving reasons.

A spokesman for the Transport Department said today (Thursday) that with this cessation, only the "conventional" - paper and pen written test - will be provided at the two written test centres located at the Transport Department licensing offices on the third floor, United Centre, Queensway, Hong Kong and the ninth floor, Park-in Commercial Centre, Dundas Street.
With effect from Monday (May 1), all candidates will be offered Part A Written Test of the conventional type only.
"There will be no change in waiting time or syllabus," the spokesman said.
In order to meet additional demand for the conventional written test, the Transport Department will arrange extra sessions of such test to be held from June 30 onwards.
