Just thought I would fill you all in on the test drama.
As you know I have a new bike.
And as you may know I failed my test the day before I got the new bike!
Well to get the test again was a real drama. Every licensing centre in Perth metro area was booked out for anything from 3 to 6 months for bike tests. Plus you have to wait 28 days after a test fail before resitting it. (Unless you have a special exemption)
So I started ringing country centres, Northam Toodyay etc. Nope they wont take city folk any longer!
I applied for the exemption to the 28th day rule with a letter from Dr F my employer 😉
And I started ringing every spare moment of my day to see what I could get in for.
Last week I hit gold and managed to move the test back from Jan 17 to Dec 21!! (Down in Rockingham mind you!)
I am still waiting for my 28 day exemption remember.
I got through one day this week and she said “who there is a cancellation for tomorrow morning…Oh you have a 28 day block on you, sorry bout that!!”
Just then I rang and the licensing department and they had a booking for the 13th of November! The very first day I can get in to a booking after my 28 days!
So I have to wait 2 weeks….2 more weeks.
maybe keep the booking for the 21st just in case???
u r 1 impatient so and so…and by the sounds of it every call centres worst night mare….
good luck, may the vespa god smile upon you and keep you safe….
The 13th? Isn’t that international ‘No Scooter Day”
Yeah – right!!
