And strike 3! My 9.37am test this morning at Colwick MPTC has also been cancelled. That’s all my tests this week.
I was thinking: since the Nottinghamshire County Council and Nottingham City Council have shown their combined incompetence by not gritting so many roads for over a week now, I wonder if there is any avenue for litigation by driving instructors? You know, suing them for lost income?
The roads around both test centres are abysmal – even a week after the bad weather arrived. I have seen gritters out, and I can see exactly what our illustrious councils are up to: they are only gritting large roads – no doubt in an attempt to conserve rock salt supplies so they can’t be accused of running out of that again (remember February this year?)
What makes it worse is that Nottingham has had no more than 1-2cm of snow spread over 3 or 4 light dustings. The problem is hard, compacted, and completely untreated ice.
