To ask you to guess why DD's driving test didn't go ahead?

[ChaosTrulyReigns]

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..

No aliens, volcanoes or wrong type of snow involved.

Gwan guess.

Failed sight test? My eldest almost did! The examiner had to measure out the exact distance and warn DS that he would instantly fail if he couldn't read the numberplate on the third time of asking.

Hope you DD gets a rebook of her test soon. I know how stressful it has been. DS2's test was cancelled in April, re-booked for July, then cancelled again at the last minute. We finally got an email invite mid-August to join the massively long queue for booking. Luckily, he got a cancellation date and a pass before the booking system opened up those who had not yet made an initial booking.

How long til we can find out ?

She had a temperature

My DD has had FOUR tests cancelled. She passed her theory at the beginning of December last year, then was meant to take the practical test on Christmas Eve, but she was ill in hospital. She didnt get out of hospital until end of January, so rebooked her test for the third week in March... tests were cancelled two days before her test. Then she got one in July, and that was postponed for no apparent reason, until August, and then the August one was postponed. We think it was examiner sickness, but were never given a reason. She FINALLY took her test at the end of September, and sailed through, but we were on tenterhooks that the stupid test would be moved again. She was desperate to pass before she was 18.

Fingers crossed for your DD when she finally does get to take her test.

The steering wheel came off?

Is her test centre just over the border in a lockdown area?

A cat fell on her head then a dog wearing shoes attacked the cat??

Cows in the road?

The instructor/examiner got their licence revoked for speeding.

Wrong kind of leaves on the road?

@ChaosTrulyReigns

Some grand and good guess here, but no prizes yet.

One of the above is steering in right direction. Geddit? Groan.

But keep Em coming I love the MN imagination.

(Those mentioning 2021, sadly that now maybe when she can next book 😭)

Was your DD driving a left-hand drive car?

She slept with the examiner instead?

Car got a flat tyre

Was it the lorry full of amazon parcels that fell over on the A24?

Or did she do what I did on the way to my first test - clip the kerb, puncture the tyre on my instructors brand new car, then he couldn't get the wheel off to change it and had to call his mum to take me home, thus missing my test.

Whatever it was I hope she can book a new test soon.

I haven't even offered a guess but please tell us. I can't stand the suspense of things like this!

She had an accident on the way there and damaged the steering.

Examiner told to work from home and his driveway not big enough to practise roundabouts?

Examiner forgot their mask?

@Pumpertrumper
I never normally do this but

Using 'Karen' like that is misogynistic and unnecessary.
And the onus is on us not to use it 😉

It's probably something that seems totally unconnected, like there was a power cut in the building next to the test centre!

Amen @DameCelia.

Left her driving licence at home?

🤷🏻‍♀️

The steering wheel fell off.

Rear view mirror came unglued and fell off the windscreen?

Dropped car keys down drain outside test centre?

Sat on glasses and broke them?

Examiner tripped over kerb and fell flat on their face?

Got blocked in by an ambulance?

She was using her own car and forgot to provide a second rear view mirror?
