nah nothing pisses me off like being in one of the 3 or 4 driving test swap facebook groups that im in (which is doing fuck all for me btw, nobody's swapping tests in my area apparently. if you're not in london you're fuck out of luck for finding someone to swap with) and someone is like "hello does anyone have a test for [TOWN] in [Feb/March]" and there are multiple chuckleheads in the comments who are like "Go on the DVSA website at 6am on a Monday :) " like oh thanks genius im sure they never fucking thought of that one. did you miss the part where they said they need a test now and not in... *checks notes* july

#people who arent actively trying to book a test do not seem to be able to get their head around the situation at all #y'all have watched me struggle for months to even get a slot at all #now granted the government is doing SOMETHING because there are currently 80ish slots available at my test centre #compared to the ZERO that popped up every time i checked between august and november (and i checked multiple times a week #and YES I CHECKED ON FUCKING MONDAY AT 6AM. I SET ALARMS SPECIFICALLY)#the monday 6am thing is also a joke. have you ever been in a ticketmaster queue?#because that's literally how the driving test booking system works now.#anyways saying “dvsa site at 6am” to someone who wants a test within the next two months is about as much use as a chocolate teapot #i literally refreshed the website every 15-20 mins a day for a full 8h workday hoping a cancellation would pop up #and i saw... one. that i wasnt able to go for bc my instructor is on holiday that week #so yes there are now actually a good number of slots available for tests. however. they're also all FIVE FUCKING MONTHS AWAY
