As some of you may know, I was scheduled to have my driving test on the 27th Jan but it was cancelled due to bad weather, even though on that particular day there wasn't a speck of frost about! They re-scheduled it for 12th Feb, but just my luck, I couldn't do the re-date. SO I rang them and re-arranged it for today (17th). Lo and behold, last week I found out the examiners were going on strike TODAY of all days! My instructor has said it's the first strike he has known in FOURTEEN years of doing the job! As you can imagine, im gutted and have got to wait around another 3 weeks to take it again! Suppose there is nothing I can do except wait and see. Jon! (I suspect this might be moved to the Boring Bin!!!  ) |

Unlucky fella, frustrating I'm sure! My sister had her test cancelled FOUR times, and then failed it at her first attempt! But am sure it won't happen to you mate.... |

Why don't you take the hint? Seriously though, it must be a right pain in the arse when all you want to do is rip up those L's |

Haha Jumborat, maybe someone is trying to tell me i'm actually a shit driver?!
EMP-Four times is very harsh, I just gotta hope it's 3rd time lucky hey?
Cheers lads, Jon

it doesnt help they are such wankers either! they really get under my skin! i consider myself a socialist and all but they have no reason to strike, its gotta be one of the easiest jobs in the world apart from the odd bit of abuse you may get!
they sit in a fucking car been driven around all day marking boxes and making shit decisions in the main and they want to be paid as much as teachers who have to go to university for 4 years and specialise in an academic subject? they dont even teach people to drive! cheeky bastards!!
RANT OVER!
Taking it at Castle SuperStokie? Last year they had the 18th lowest pass rate in the country! Sorry to fill you with confidence. Just watch out for John Fradley and Val, i have many reports of these 2 idiots.
The DSA are as corrupt as anything, they look to fail people because at £39 a test then the more fails, the more money!

I drove like an absolute spob on my test...I finished with 13 minor faults, but still passed. If I'd got one more fault I'd have failed.  |

I drove pretty well on my first test, and failed. I drove like a pleb on my second test and passed!
If it makes you feel any better my sister is on her third test and hasn't taken one yet! One cancelled cos of fog and one becuase her instructor couldn't make it.
