I was doing a bit of scouting, and came across a discussion where someone had criticised their local test centre for cancelling a 10.15am test. They say there was a bit of wet at the end of the road, but the test was cancelled for ice. He took a photo of a puddle. As you’d expect, everyone is in total sympathy… it’s yet another example of how the DSA hasn’t got a clue, etc., etc.<\/p>\n
Now the truth: I was on a lesson with a pupil this morning between 10am and 12pm. From the moment I left the house, the car temperature readout was showing from 1-3\u00b0C depending on where you were, and it remained like this until at least 1.15pm. Overnight, it has been around -3\u00b0C.\u00a0Some side roads still had ice on them. Other roads still had snow in the gutters (the frozen slushy type). Some roads had patches of black ice on them, and sudden braking resulted in a slight tremble from the ABS. I cover the same test centre this guy is talking about, and I know that there was still frost on shaded roads at that time.<\/p>\n
Just to set the record staright, of course.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
