Driving Test Date

Got the letter today for the big day and well turns out it's on the 28th of July. Grand except i'm in the USA from the 22nd of July until the 4th of Aug.

What can i do now?

If i cancel does that mean another 11 months waiting for a re-test? Or can it be rescheduled for some time around then?

You might be able to get it moved forward by a week or so but it would mean being slotted into a cancelled slot and getting the test at a moment's notice. I did that when it turned out my test clashed with my exams.

Ring them and see what the story is.

YeAh!

No you won't have to wait another 11 months for just rescheduling. But do it as quickly as possible. The sooner you reschedule the better you will get a good date.

Cheers plan to call them in the morning about it i take it office hours are 9-5:30 etc i dont want to leave a message on the automated system.

Now all i have to do is buy some L plates and cruise around the test center for a while of an evening if even. I've been driving years just never was pushed to do the test but now i want to.

If that happens i'll be getting the letter from work to get bumped up the queue.

What will happen is the tester will get to sit on his árse for 30 minutes, this is Ireland and you will go back to the end of the queue.
I sometimes wonder if we had the NCT (on the nct site you can rearrange tests in seconds as it changes dynamically all the time) boys as driving testers what the wait would be like..

You only get bumped back to the end if you cancel twice in a row.
