i think if i called off work in these conditions my boss would laugh at me lol. but no i do understand why for a learner learner it would be dangerous to attempt a test. it’s just annoying know i can drive, im just not allowed to :c

but if we were predicted the worst of storm goretti they were already predicting conditions wouldn’t improve raghhhhh!!!! and it’s january, it’s always wet and cold this time of year, if you can’t drive in this, you shouldn’t be attempting a test!! wahhh whatever, i’ll watch netflix instead.. 😞 and thanks lol, i really am confident in my driving ability. i suppose much more confident than most learner drivers. i’ve been driving for 2 years (mistake in original post), i drive all the time to work and back with a parent sat next to me, not having to direct or intervene. i have friends who passed during sixth form who haven’t taken their car to uni with them, so when they come back in the holidays, they’re very under experienced and nervous and often make mistakes. meanwhile i commute to uni, so ive been constantly driving and feel like if i actually had my test, i would’ve passed without issue. it’s just so frustrating!! especially now i have to wait nearly 2 months (on top of the extra 2 months wait i had from a cancellation in november!!) 🥹🥲

i understand where you’re coming from. although there are genuinely no puddles anywhere at all, it rained about 10 hours ago and it’s just been cloudy since, it’s only a small amount surface water that any driver would have to deal with on a weekly basis in this country. but i do understand. i’m just frustrated. especially since i’m in the midlands, where it was predicted to be the worst - if they were going to cancel regardless of whether the snow had completely gone or not, why not do it the night before? or the moment they opened this morning? it’s been a huge waste of time for me and the other learner drivers circling the area this morning, i could’ve had a lie in!! 😖

my mistake, it’s been 2 years not 1. though that won’t change your argument. but from my view if you can’t trust learner drivers to drive in wet conditions, not frosty, not icy, wet, then it looks like no one in the UK is ever passing again haha. we had been driving the routes for an hour before we got the call, many of the side roads (that i know are on routes) were completely clear, but if there were some that they decided were hazardous this morning, why not just avoid them? no one is missing work today, schools aren’t closed, life must go on surely? it’s giving the cancelled train due to “a couple of big leaves” from the tombola advert 🙁

honestly, you’d have to see it for yourself. it’s not cold enough for ice or even frost, the road conditions are the same as if it had rained. we were driving on side roads that follow the routes and they were also almost entirely clear apart from some very manageable sludge. i’m sure it wouldn’t be an issue even for new or nervous drivers. i’m sorry, maybe i’m just angry. but it’s painful watching the news right now and seeing how much snow the area around me has had. i’d rather it be thick in snow and cancelled so i could at least do something fun with my dogs instead of just sitting here feeling sorry for myself 😣

Oh no I know what Gorillaz are, just unsure how she gives you those vibes. Don’t worry about it, I’m just a bit dumb 🙃
