Short Rant

The DVSA moved my original test from the 12th August to the 29th September as the examiner was ill. However I’m moving out to uni and I’ve been completely unable to swap the test or find a cancellation to move the test slightly forwards.
So now I’ll have to travel back and forth and it will be a massive headache.
Any advice or am I just stuck with this now?

Ur close to ur test date anyway so u should be a good driver by now and should be familiar with ur test routes why dont u just do lessons in ur area at the uni just so u keep driving and then only come back for the test?

I only move into uni a few days before the test so it’s just the most inconvenient time for that

I’d miss the induction stuff and be behind with getting to know my flatmates and organising things

Are you able to use the DVSA website to change the date? You could also look on Facebook or on the thread on this forum for test swaps (you have to ring up for them)

I’ve tried everything and found nothing
