Due to the ongoing extreme heat, driving skills tests in South Korea will be temporarily reduced or suspended.
The Korea Road Traffic Authority announced on August 8 that it will adjust the operation of driving skills tests to prevent heat-related illnesses among applicants and staff as heat wave warnings and advisories continue.
The authority will schedule tests during the cooler morning hours. In the afternoon, if the perceived temperature exceeds 35 degrees Celsius, the number of tests will be reduced, and if it reaches 38 degrees, the tests will be suspended.
Existing applicants whose schedules are affected by the reductions or suspensions will be notified separately. Each driving test center will be equipped with portable outdoor air conditioners, shade structures, and umbrellas.
