Affected by the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the Transport Department suspended its counter services earlier. Member of the Legislative Council of the DAB, Ge Yifan, said that the Transport Department had only provided limited services due to the epidemic, and many citizens whose driving licenses had expired had to schedule to 5 Renewal can only be done after a month.

Ge Yanfan also pointed out that because many citizens failed to renew their licenses in time, they were unable to purchase car insurance, and citizens who depended on "food carts" faced a "hand stop" situation. She suggested that the Transport Department could refer to the handling methods of other government departments and allow administrative vehicles to extend the expiry time of relevant vehicle licenses and individual driving licenses by 1 to 2 months to solve the problem of renewal of citizens' licenses.

Legislative Councillor Chen Henghuan said that it was learned that staff of the Transport Department were processing applications for renewal of licences which had been delayed due to the epidemic situation, and about 80% of them had been processed. He said that if the public has a license plate that will expire, he can write down the expiry date of his license on the application envelope and post it in collection boxes at different designated locations of the Transport Department to allow the Transport Department to expedite processing.
