The road on the way there was under construction and we were sprayed with mud, so when we finally got to the test centre, I could not see out of my visor, my bike was brown and it was pouring with rain.
Thankfully my kit is waterproof, but it was not a great day. All of that expense and trouble for eight minutes is hard to justify. The test centre did have a lovely new carpet with the letters DSA woven into it and the building was very warm, with lots of lovely seats. Money well spent...
On the positive side, swerving around cones was great fun and being on a totally smooth and grippy road surface was a revelation compared to the normal greasy, potholed and worn out roads in Weston.
That is my pennyworth.  |
I can beat that I did over 20 miles by car to the school and then a further 60 odd miles to the test centre. When you add that to the aborted tests that you don't find out until you get there it gets very expensive and time consuming. Still think that the new tests are fairer than the old one, if not time consuming though.
