DVLA - is this a record???

[Edward Teach]

The issue with the tests was that they were in short supply, the first one we could get was 4 months away (our older son got his pre-covid test within 3 weeks). So - 2 days to go and it got kicked 6 months down the road “tester not available”, as lots of people use the apps it became the only way to get a cancellation.

For the cancellations we used https://www.driving-test-cancellations-4all.co.uk/

Thank you.
It may be a help.

My son recently got his drivers. Was a total farce. His test had either been cancelled or postponed THIRTEEN times. Testers too precious to be in a car to conduct a test,but thought nothing of putting my sons health at risk for over a year of having to catch buses because they couldnt be arsed to test him….
And every time they cancelled,it was up to him to try and rebook.

There is a massive shortage of PCV drivers, so you'd think they would be a priority when renewing (needed my 5 yearly medical), but took them 22 weeks and then they lost my D4 medical form.

I had taken early retirement due to work related stress, but was going to try it again part time, with all the stress DVLA put me through I decided not worth it.

Tractors do have their own test.
Or you can wait till you pass the car test.

Yeah, it's the automatic with a car I take issue with.

I agree.

However the actual tractor test is a joke too.
