Driving Test Cancellations App 4+

I used this app to get two earlier driving tests. In that sense, it works really well. If you need an earlier driving test, it will definitely find one for you. However, there are some pain points. The first being the UI; it’s clunky and not very intuitive. The most aggravating thing is the fact that your search is automatically stopped if you repeatedly don’t accept the driving tests offered to you. I understand the reasoning behind this, but if a test isn’t suitable, it isn’t suitable. At one point, I hadn’t accepted a new test yet, but I didn’t get a notification that my search had been stopped, and I didn’t notice for over a week! I was so annoyed when I saw that the search had been stopped and I’d missed out on precious time. That leads me onto the next thing — I found that I was being offered tests outside of my preferences, specifically outside of my selected date range. Obviously I would not accept these tests, so it was a pain having to go in and reactivate my search manually after ignoring these tests that I never asked for in the first place. Finally, it is NOT made clear that if you fail a test it finds for you, you have to pay around £14 to reactivate your account. This is a rip off when you’ve already paid for the top tier subscription and only adds to the financial strain of learning to drive. Sneaky and not appreciated at all. Overall it does what it claims to do, but watch out for these few negatives.

Originally I had it set up for my first test and showed no particularly helpful results until a few weeks before my test, which was fine as gave me time to prepare. However when I failed that, was shocked and quite disappointed that I had to pay the full fee again to reactivate my account. I’m sure that this is in the terms and conditions but should be made more clear as it comes across very badly, especially after failing a test which is a bad enough feeling given the difficulty in finding one. However I managed to find a good cancellation less than 2 weeks after my first test, which I was pleased about. Here’s hoping I don’t have to go through cancellation hell again. Good luck everyone!

First of all, my sympathies to everyone here. What a nightmare and a joke this whole process is. It’s my second time using this app, failed first driving test 2+ years ago (despite having a US driving license for 10+ years, driven in so many different parts of the world and never a single incident), failed on a small technicality for stopping on a red light…eeever so slightly over the damned line…yeah. Still defend my choice today, it was the safe thing to do. Even more obnoxious as it seems there are so many people waiting for tests, the whole system is backlogged! This was in 2021, disappointing they STILL have not sorted this out. I just couldn’t face the whole ordeal again, so the last 2 years just didn’t drive in the UK, and can drive abroad on my US license anyways. I’m just ranting now sorry… Anyways, going for a second attempt this year… 🙈💪 This app is a lifesaver as otherwise could not get a reasonable test date, unless you pay top £££ on the black market to the driving instructor cartel, lol. It has found me a replacement test 71 days earlier within 2 hours of downloading! It is definitely worth getting the app, the UI is a bit clunky but since using it last time (or it might have been the website), it’s already a lot better - thanks so much for your work guys keep it up!!
