Exclamation New bike test !

Having trouble booking my bike test there after failing

Due to the "new stlye test" coming in at end of the month, so i accepted that i was going to be doing new stlye test, BUT got a phone call today off my instructor saying they are now putting it back to march 09 to cope with demand and the fact that the new test centres are not ready, the dsa are a joke tbh, between there shit online service to being on hold for 20 mis every time you phone them

Anyway sort of good news for people wanting to get there test done old style !

You want to know why the DSA is a bag of infertile wank seeds,
Because it is run by the government.

Don't listen to Robert. He knows fine well that I decide..!

He just doesn't want me to get a bike because I'll show him how it's done*



*Falling off that is.

if you can ride a bike you will pass with either test so no big deal really

i agree with that and would have welcomed a more difficult test.

the problem is not that though, it's the fact that not enough new test centres that have the facilities for the new test have been made available in time to cope with demand. it's a huge cock up

that the reason myself and my mates did our DAS course,all 3 of us passed first time.

there are a lot of people wanting to get in before the deadline and it was just too busy.

glad the new test has been put back a few months.
