Request for Information under the Code on Access to Information — Part C Road Test Records 2025
Dear Transport Department,
I write to request information under the Code on Access to Information.
I request a dataset of individual road test records for all Part C (Road Test) sittings conducted by the Transport Department during the period 1 January 2025 to 31 December 2025. The scope should include:
(a) standalone Part C sittings; and
(b) Part C components of Combined Tests (Parts B and C),
across all vehicle classes, both non-commercial and commercial.
Each record should contain the following fields:
1. Anonymised test candidate serial number (sufficient to identify unique and repeated test sittings without identifying candidates)
2. Date of road test
3. Scheduled test time
4. Road test route designation or description as used in the Department's internal records, of one of the 89 routes currently in use for road tests
5. The name or address of one of the test centre
6. Vehicle class
7. Test type (standalone Part C or Combined Test)
8. Part C test result (pass or fail)
I request that the data be provided in structured data format (e.g. CSV or spreadsheet).
Please advise if any clarification of this request would assist processing.
Yours faithfully,
Sebastian Lee

Dear Sebastian,
Subject: Freedom of Information request - Request for Information under the Code on Access to Information — Part C Road Test Records 2025 (Case Ref: 3-9862511713)
Thank you for your email dated 14/11/2026 to the Transport Department, which has been received by 1823 on behalf of the department.
According to our records, we tried to contact you via email, but it failed to deliver due to an error with the recipient's mail server.
Regarding your above case, the substantive reply of the Transport Department is as follows –
''Dear Sir/Madam,
I refer to your request for access to information no. 150/26. Further to our interim reply, our reply is as follows:
Having assessed on your request, we would like to provide the number of Part C tests conducted and test results in 2025 and the number of driving tests conducted at individual driving test centers in 2025 for your reference (please refer to the Annex).
Regarding your request to obtain the dataset containing various types of information, please note that the TD does not possess readily available information in the format you requested. Providing the information requires retrieval and compilation of the data from our system which involves unreasonable diversion of manpower from our already stretched manpower. Your request is therefore refused in accordance with paragraph 2.9(d) of the Code with details as follows:
2.9(d) Information which could only be made available by unreasonable diversion of a department’s resources.
For the requested information of scheduled time, test centre, test route, and test result of individual tests, we consider that the result of a driving test may be contributed by different reasons including the performance of candidates, the road situations at the material test times, etc., the requested information may cause misinterpretation of data which may impose unnecessary pressure on candidates, which may harm or prejudice the proper and efficient conduct of driving tests. Having regard to the above, those information would not be provided in accordance with paragraph 2.9(c) of the Code with details as follows:
2.9(c) Information the disclosure of which would harm or prejudice the proper and efficient conduct of the operations of a department.
If you consider that this Department has not complied with the Code in processing your request, you may ask for a review of the situation by writing to the Access to Information Officer of this Department at 10/F, South Tower, West Kowloon Government Offices, 11 Hoi Ting Road, Yau Ma Tei, Kowloon. Alternatively, you may raise the matter with The Ombudsman whose address is –
