If you are applying for the two road tests that will qualify you for a driving license, you are likely to wait 190 days to be able to show to examiners that you have enough skills to deserve a pass.
This is a big improvement over the waiting time up to 300

acting secretary for Transport and Logistics in his written reply to a question
in the Legislative Council by Legco member Rock Chen.

The TD is identifying suitable sites for setting up
additional and more widely-distributed driving test centres (DTCs) that meet
various requirements, such as being suitably located for testing whether the
candidates have mastered all necessary driving skills, having sufficient
traffic flow for the observation of the candidates' abilities in handling
different road conditions, as well as taking into account the views of
different stakeholders in the vicinity.
“In addition, the TD is studying the introduction of new technologies in driving tests to assist with the assessment,” while balancing such factors as “whether the relevant technology can accurately assess the driving skills of candidates, protection of the privacy of candidates, cost-effectiveness and the views of stakeholders,” he added.
