Fees for driving, riding and theory tests to go up from Mar 13, the first increase since 2016

“The road assessment evaluates the motorist’s overall competency to drive a Class 3/3A motor car in actual traffic conditions, covering basic vehicle control, including mirror checks, signalling, speed control, positioning, junction navigation, interaction with other road users, and adherence to traffic laws,” the police said.

All Class 3C/3CA driving licence holders whose employers have submitted declarations of support from Sep 15 will be contacted by the traffic police to proceed to the Singapore Safety Driving Centre (SSDC) to register for their road assessment from Friday.

The traffic police will conduct the road assessment at Woodlands Test Centre within SSDC.

The road assessment fee will be the same as the practical test fee of S$40, effective Friday.

This is also subject to the same progressive increase to S$45, effective Mar 13, 2027, and subsequently to S$50, effective Mar 13, 2028.

Additional fees will apply for the road assessment beyond the test fee, including vehicle rental and administrative charges imposed and determined by the driving school. 

Class 3C/3CA licence holders who fail the road assessment will not be allowed to enrol for Class 4/4P lessons.

“Their Class 3C/3CA licences will also be revoked given that they are found to be not competent to drive even Class 3/3A motor cars. They will not be allowed to obtain a driving licence of any class within one year of the licence revocation date,” said the police.
