EXAMINERS ON STRIKE NOV 19th & NOV 20th

DVSA ANNOUNCEMENT:

Driving examiners and vehicle examiners are planning to take strike action at various times on Thursday 19 and Friday 20 November 2015.

Some driving examiners who are members of the Public and Commercial Service union are planning to take strike action on Thursday 19 and Friday 20 November 2015.

Candidates are advised to still attend tests.

DVSA is doing all it can to make sure that driving tests go ahead as planned and recommends all candidates come for their test as usual.

If your pupil’s test is cancelled because of strike action, they won’t have to contact DVSA to rebook their appointment. DVSA will contact them with a new test appointment within 5 to 10 working days.

Fortunately, we had a working examiner today.

You can claim out of pocket expenses back. You should be able to get a form from the centre or I think you can claim via the www.gov.uk site.

Just take it slow and easy does it, When I sat my class 2 I found reverse easy coz I went slow but when I did my class 1 I lost a cone but just slowed down and stopped without taking a shunt just used mirrors to look for bottom of cone and all it was I was not as far back as I thought.
