Mod 2 test booking troubles..?

[_osborn3]

Hi all,

First post here so I’ll try not to make a fool of myself!

I had my Mod 2 booked for Thursday 23rd Jul. Unfortunately the examiner called sick on the day which is fair enough.
Has anyone else experienced difficulty in booking Mod 2 tests at the moment (expected backlog from the coronavirus halt?) as my school haven’t got back to me since with any further dates.

Cheers

I sympathise with your impatience but what do expect the school to come back with in such a short space of time? Everything's on a go slow at the moment

I'm starting my DAS next week. I've got my test dates booked , my training school told me test dates were being realised on a weekly basis. I moved course from the end of August and they didn't have an issue getting me earlier test slots. I'd ring your school up and have a chat with them see what's going on even if they have to tell you they can't get dates until xyz at least you will know.

Before lockdown tests were released for booking about 8 weeks in advance. Currently that's down to 2 weeks. The tests slots will be there, but everyone is fighting last minute for tests for courses already running.

I believe all bike schools and test centres are open and allowed to run fully. It's just a case of the sheer quantity of tests required that is causing delays in getting test dates.

Thanks for the info. Good to hear from someone in the industry. There seems to be a lot of conflicting info from what the public are told to what people in industries know ( which is correct) . Because I have been waiting to do my das since march I had been keeping an eye on developments and read an article in MCN that said all test centres were opening and training could go ahead . I spoke to my training school and they said that information just was not correct as it was more complicated than that.

As a side note I could do without the extra pressure if knowing that if I fail either of my mod tests it may be ages until I can re book !!😖

Thanks all for your responses. It certainly puts it into perspective. Nevertheless I shall wait and hope the day comes round again soon - I made the mistake of buying the bike the day before the test and now it’s waiting to be ridden

Cheers

To be honest the presence of coronavirus doesn't really make a jot of difference; if you're waiting for your re-booked mod2 you'll be desperate and wanting it even if it's tomorrow. Mine was cancelled when I arrived outside the test centre because the industrial unit next door to it was on fire! As it turned out the incompetence of the DVSA meant they didn't advise my school that morning, so we were able to claim back costs (including the unpaid leave I'd taken that morning).

It'll be here before you know it. Just keep yourself distracted while you wait.

Out of interest does anyone know on what day of the week are tests released?
