New S/N 3-20

Looks like some have had a long holiday

Is there gonna be a new round of expiry-date extensions in this lockdown ?

If so I am sure somebody will be sensible enough to not extend the extensions that run out this month for yet another six months . The six month extensions were a lunatic idea . Way too long . First day back after the hols ( yes I finally had a week off ) and two vehicles I tested today had extension expiry dates way back in September . One was a '96 Transit recovery truck in daily use . Anyone wanna guess the outcome of that test ?

Annual assessment can be sat online anywhere in the world . Do it at home , or the home of somebody you bubble with . Or maybe even sneak into work while it is locked down . Your excuse if you get stopped is you are doing essential work that you can't do from home . Furlough becomes an issue .. You are doing it for yourself not for the benefit of your employer . They won't be your employer if you have to stop testing if you don't sit your assessment before the big gong sounds .

transits are top off my list but a lot off scrap been in the door and left with a list a mile long but i think these muppets are going too shut us done again but they might cancel our exam for this year they have cancelled everybody elses

I think you have two chances some chance and no chance

I guess if lots of mot staff fail it this year DVSA will have too options, one being very limited testers to do mot's and two, limited AE's to operate the scheme on their behalf. So based on figures I've not got, if many in the scheme are affected by covid and leave the scheme then there might be other problems around the corner we've not yet seen?

i still struggle to comprehend why we are being tested on subjects that to a large extent are the province of the ae/designated manager rather than stuff that could possibly prove i know how to actually test cars and the standards to apply but hey im just a fook dumb grease monkey,what do i know?not enough apparently....
