.. is actually fucked.
I never normally do 2 posts in the same day but this has all happened this afternoon really. I went on the DSA website to book my test (about time really, been driving since January) but there was a 6 week wait. That was my own fault really, i should have booked sooner, but when it comes to actually telling me when to book my test or when I'm getting close my instructor is absolutely useless. He's a nice guy, but he just doesn't want me to pass i think. I feel he's going waay too slowly, and he's not being much of a help now when I'm trying to book my test.
Fair enough, its in his best interests to keep me going slowly as he's getting more and more money, but when it gets to the point of over 30 lessons its an absolute pisstake. That is a hell of a lot of money to be spending on lessons where I'm progressing at baby pace.
Anyway, i thought the 6 week wait wouldn't be too bad, and i could get a cancellation to speed it up but the instructor is being very funny about that saying i need to check with him so he doesn't double book, but it takes him like 4 hours every time to text back so its no good to me. So there is a 6 week wait, i go on holiday for a week in 4 weeks, then i am home for a week, and the day after i leave for South America for 3 weeks is the first test vacancy. Absolutely gutted, but then to make it worse the day i get back my instructor goes on holiday for a week so i can't do my test then as I'm meant to do it in his car. So that would finish my summer off and I'd be back at college again before i could take my test.. BUT I'M READY NOW!!
I'm so frustrated about the whole thing.. and its too late to leave him for another instructor.. I'm going to have to speak with him next lesson and voice my opinions and see if he can either sort me out with another instructor until then, or another similar car for the test. I cannot face having to wait until September.. i need to be driving now!!
