geordiegirl 13 Nov 4:00pm, 13 Nov 2024 25,129 posts	0 geordiegirl oh sorry to hear that Pix, hopefully next time. @Shades I have been much better getting to bed at a decent time this week and have actually slept like a log. Plan is much the same tomorrow and have a lazy start to the day. Train is at 12.45 to Birmingham, circa 3hrs so I hopefully will catch some zzz's on the train and then wing it. Before The Wall, our hotel room was above a nightclub that kicked out at 3am and my alarm went off at 4.45 so I was probably as tired for that one, of course it was June and nice and sunny which helped but I'm also in a group for this which will help too.

IdristheDragon 13 Nov 4:12pm, 13 Nov 2024 9,952 posts	0 IdristheDragon In my relatively recent experience of failed driving tests or just booking them at all, what we did was to book one anywhere at any time, and then sign up to one of various driving test apps/websites. You tell them when you would like a test (can specify days you can't do, times it needs to be between etc) and then they will either automatically do it or text you first. There is a cost but not prohibitive and it does get you a test sooner.
