JUNE 2021
Apart from cancellations there are no Test slots available until September 2021 BUT the odd one does pop up now and then.
Problem is, if you fail then you will have to retrain unless you don’t forget anything.
Your school’s will be looking for tests for you on a daily basis.
We all know this is due to the backlog because of Lockdown because of Covid but I wonder what will happen to the backlog due to the backlog…■■?
Will this even end…?
The fact they are shoving driverless lorries onto the roads to test them is a tad unnerving, especially as some airports take you from the plane to the terminal in a coach, with no driver.
Schools won’t risk over trading by buying more vehicles and hiring more instructors but what would be the point, there are no tests?
It seems the recent employment of new examiners has not made any difference to the situation of not enough test slots, not enough examiners and a ten mile queue of test candidates.
The situation is clearly getting worse. I flumped my test and got a cancellation, now there is no more room even on the cancellation list.
Soon the schools will seize up as no student wants to wait three months or more.
With a 60,000 driver shortage, no wonder the Government are testing the driverless robots, because if not, we are all going to starve to death (well actually not, we can always buy our food from the markets and not rely on the supermarkets).
Then your local butchers and greengrocers and farmers markets will thrive again.
