The one that took her 4 hours to book.

She was number 7327 in the queue despite being online at 8.00.02am in the day tests were released after Covid..Shock

No aliens, volcanoes or wrong type of snow involved. Grin

Gwan guess.

She booked the wrong type of test or a test for a different type of vehicle?

Scweltish · 09/10/2020 16:15

Don’t leave it too long to tell us op. It gets boring after a while 🙄

Purpleneonpinkunicorns · 09/10/2020 16:15

She didn't wake up

PinkyPinkerton · 09/10/2020 16:16

She was supposed to bring her own car.

ChaosTrulyReigns · 09/10/2020 16:17

@forgetthehousework

Test centre relocated and she got lost on the way there.
Strangely that's what happened at the theory Test.

Had driven to the place I'd taken previous DDs to. Had arrived quote early. rare for me DD3 then clicked. Got to the new centre across the town with 1 minute to spare 😬

Instructor was drunk???

FraughtwithGin · 09/10/2020 16:18

The test route is flooded

TinyPaws · 09/10/2020 16:19

Drunk climbed in the back and refused to believe it wasn't a taxi?

(I know someone this actually happened to)

JacobReesMogadishu · 09/10/2020 16:19

The steering lock jammed on the car!

Pumpertrumper · 09/10/2020 16:19

@ChaosTrulyReigns

Erm no! If they cancelled her test knowing full well how short supply/ hard to book they are then the owness should be on THEM to re book her into a suitable slot in the next 2-3 weeks.

I’d be pitching a fit- going full Karen over this I’m afraid

blitzen · 09/10/2020 16:19

Expired theory test?

Silentplikebath · 09/10/2020 16:20

Flat tyre or exhaust fell off the car?

RainbowParadise · 09/10/2020 16:20

Poor DD, glad it's not serious.

Learning to drive during the pandemic has been so stressful- I started late last year, first test was cancelled due to lockdown. By some miracle managed to pass first time in early September which was a relief due to the current circumstances.

I really hope she doesn't have to wait to 2021 🙁

ToastyCrumpet · 09/10/2020 16:20

Dead cat in the road? The car? The examiner ran over one? The examiner was in an accident and disqualified from driving?

OnCandyStripeLegs · 09/10/2020 16:21

She was so preoccupied with whether or not she could, she didn’t stop to think if she should?

kissmysass · 09/10/2020 16:21

Road to the test centre was blocked by cows.

Genuinely seen it before.

HIITPrincess · 09/10/2020 16:22

The examiner lost the car keys ?

movingonup20 · 09/10/2020 16:22

My DD's friends test was cancelled because the examiner was on holiday and whilst there the government added it to the quarantine list so he had to isolate for 2 weeks

Bobbybobbins · 09/10/2020 16:22

Examiner's car broke down?

HIITPrincess · 09/10/2020 16:23

Test car ran out of fuel?

IndieTara · 09/10/2020 16:23

Police incident put a cordon around the area

allfurcoatnoknickers · 09/10/2020 16:23

I agree with 2021 booking. I passed my test over 10 years ago, and remember it was a nightmare getting a date even then.

Aquamarine1029 · 09/10/2020 16:25

She snuck out of line to rob a bank, and after a lengthy police chase she missed her appointment.

AlwaysLatte · 09/10/2020 16:25

Lost the key to the steering lock? Or clamped wheel?
