So was meant to sit my C test today (well yesterday now) but things went very wrong.
Sat in the waiting room, nerves building as they do, until the examiner finally came to get me and we walked out to the truck. Got asked 3 show/tell me questions, and as I did so she noticed a cut or split in the front N/S tire. She told me to jump in while she went and got a VOSA chap. Out he came in his white lab coat and through the window I instantly heard him that “that’s going nowhere, I am going to have to put a prohibition order on it” I couldn’t believe it!!! I was sat there ready to start the reversing test only to be told sorry, truck is off the road, your test is cancelled 
The other student from my truck desperately hoped the tire would be replaced in time for his test a bit later. It turned out they had a second truck in time but the kind examiner said she’d wait an extra 20 mins for the tire to be done so he could use the same truck he was used to. After all that waiting and wondering if he’d get the chance to take his test, he reversed over and killed a cone instantly, doh! In all the practice attempts he managed it easily, just shows the power of a clipboard once it comes out.
Anyway they have booked me in for 2 weeks time, and I will get a couple hours drive before the exam. Not ideal, and I’d be lucky for todays weather and how quiet the roads were!
