One of my learner driver's had his driving test cancelled by the dsa due to some examiners being on strike.
I'm not quite sure if there is compensation payable if a test is cancelled due to industrial action, but I've asked the provisional licence holder to contact the DSA directly.
If you have a test booked on a day when dsa examiners might be on strike, the usual advice given is to attend asnormal.

What driving school car
Today I noticed the first what driving school car on the road since the beginning of it's operation in January 2010.
I'm not sure if the driving instructor I saw today had a full franchise or not, but the car only had a triangular headboard sign with what car and some side magnetics which didn't really draw my attention to the brand.
Considering the fact that I live on a test route and am within 3 miles of 2 driving test centres, it doesn't look like they have had a lot of instructors join the new driving school, so their dream of being number three in the country after BSM and AA is going to take a really long time!
I look forward to meeting the first what car instructor at my local driving test centre.

Red Driving School adverts are back on TV
I've just noticed on one of the children's satellite channels that red driving school adverts are back on TV!
Obviously the people that bought red out of adminstration have started pumping some finances into the new company. While the adverts are the same old ones with Peter Halpin, I have no idea if they will still be using the same operating procedures (I think Barclays Finance is no longer providing career development loans).
It looks like more people will still have to endure that irritating £30,000 a year red driving school advert for some time to come!

Driving lesson fuel economy toyota yaris
I recently posted the toyota yaris motorway fuel economy figures, so I decided to find out how having driving lessons in town and urban traffic would affect the figures.
Well I ony got 353 miles out of the same tank of petrol in the 1.0 toyota yaris driving school car.
I guess not too bad considering all the learner drivers who rev the engine, use incorrect gears etc.
