DVSA Test Examiners to strike 19th & 20th Nov

[steve__b]

I am due to have mod 2 on Friday 20th at Wolverhampton and examiners could be on strike. I'll still turn up for test after my day's training in the hope it will still go ahead. Hope my examiner is not a PCS union member on strike.

Damn, bad luck.

To be fair to them, it's a tortuous selection and training process and the pay at the end of it is below average. They're way down on examiners and are trying to cover that up by just working them longer. Piss poor show.

I had this on my MOD1 a couple of years back. Problem was I had the time off work for it and actually turned up at the test centre to find the gates locked! no one had even bothered letting the riding school know this was going down! My school didn't charge me for the next test I am happy to say. Still lost the time off work though.
