This is a very old post from the harsh winter of 2009! This is the post you are probably looking for<\/a> – it’s about lessons and tests in snow.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

OK. One down, two to go!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had an 8.40am test this morning, and I picked the pupil up at 6.45am. It was deadly on some roads – on some downward slopes you simple couldn’t stop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I knew the test would be cancelled, but I couldn’t confirm it until the test centre staff got into work (that turned out to be 7.30am). I didn’t charge her – how can you? – but we used the hour we were driving around to get some valuable snow\/skidding experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m not optimistic about my next two early tests tomorrow and Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EDIT 21\/12\/2009 #1: Oh. And I have STILL not seen one gritting lorry. Some of the bigger roads have been done at long last – but 99% of the others haven’t. Good ol’ Nottingham City and County Councils, eh? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

EDIT 21\/12\/2009 #2: The test centre cancelled the whole day of tests in the end – I had a quick chat with the SE this afternoon while I was out with a pupil. And I saw ONE gritting lorry while I was out with another pupil tonight at around 6.15pm.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
