With massive appointment backlogs across DriveTest centres in Toronto, Brampton, Mississauga, Ottawa, and Hamilton, waiting times can easily stretch to four to six months.</p> <p>To solve this scheduling bottleneck, we built <a href="https://www.roadtestnotify.ca/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Road Test Notification</a>.</p> <h2> How It Works </h2> <p><a href="https://www.roadtestnotify.ca/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Road Test Notification</a> continuously monitors the Ontario DriveTest appointment booking system 24/7.
