An update from the DSA says that from 1st March 2013, Chalfont Drive tests will be operating from two temporary addresses.<\/p>\n

The two locations are the Driving Test Centre at Watnall, and the DVLA\u2019s premises off Woodhouse Way. (Edit 18\/4\/2013:<\/strong> The DVLA one is no longer functioning – it was set up to handle existing Chalfont bookings).<\/p>\n

I hope those moronic driving instructors who undoubtedly<\/a>\u00a0had a hand in the original move to Beeston\u00a0falling through are happy. No doubt they\u2019ll be whining about the confusion and \u201cincompetence\u201d of the DSA over all that has now arisen, when in fact it is THEIR fault. And best of all, in an ironic way: their pupils will almost certainly now have to handle Nuthall Roundabout, because both locations are less than a mile away\u00a0from it!<\/p>\n

The Watnall\u00a0residents are going to go nuts now that the two or three available corners there are going to have queues of idiots waiting to use them. They thought they\u2019d seen the last of that when Watnall\u00a0stopped doing any car or ADI tests a few years ago, but Watnall is the closest \u201cnursery area\u201d (the favoured phrase of the below-average ADI) for both locations.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, waiting times at Colwick continue to rise (based on my own observations of booking times) – if someone booked now they\u2019d be lucky to get one before April unless it was a cancellation. This is because of the gradual migration of instructors away from Chalfont Drive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
