About 18,000 road tests have been cancelled in the Ontario's lockdown zones such as Toronto and Peel Region since late November, the transportation ministry said.

OPP clocked a vehicle travelling 158 km/h hour in a posted 100 km/h zone on Hwy. 115.

"It is quite frustrating for both student and instructors," one driving instructor said.

Service Ontario and DriveTest centres have been dealing with extended wait times since reopening.

People with birthdays between January and June will be allowed to visit a centre this week, and people with birthdays between July and December will have access next week.

"We have a responsibility to Ontarians to ensure that we take every possible step to enable social distancing and prevent the spread of COVID-19."

A DriveTest operator questions why the Ministry of Transportation hasn't closed the service amid the coronavirus pandemic.
