I’m having a little panic over my iva appointment, it’s booked for Tuesday and we now have snow forecast for Sunday in my area.
All I can see in the vosa terms is the requirement for 3 working days notice to change an appointment. Anyone had experience of late cancellations due to weather?
Hopefully the snow will come to nothing and the roads will be in good shape for Tuesday. I have about 40miles to travel and have a trailer arranged as it’s definitely not seven weather!

Suppose in hindsight it was a bit dumb to book now, it was my target to finish the car this year though!

Apparently it's going to be sunny on Tuesday with highs of 3 in lincoln. I live there to. Any snow should be melted. Besides the weather forecasters don't know what they are talking about anyway. Worry if you wake up on Tuesday and there's 2ft of snow. It's just snow. I had my iva at Nottingham and they are chilled out. I broke down on the way and they just rearranged for another day. They are super chaps at Nottingham.

How did you contact the test centre, i can only find numbers for Swansea? They said i can re-arrange but have to pay the fee again and then make a compensation claim which is reviewed on a case by case basis - dont fancy risking the test fee like that!

Why would a bit of snow stop you? Surely just set off early and take basic recovery kit and you'll be fine?

Got stuck on the Lincolnshire border in my tintop on Sunday morning (couldn't go in any direction because the roads were so slippy). This AM we drove back down to London- best driving conditions were actually the start of the drive and got steadily worse as we got south. Hope the test goes well!!!

All set now and loaded in the trailer for tomorrow. I ran out of time this week for pre Iva photos so I will have to settle for post Iva!

I wouldn’t normally have been concerned about travelling in less than ideal conditions but towing a car trailer makes things even less safe and more likely to get stuck but thankfully the snow has all gone so it’s just icy roads at 6am to worry about!

I’m feeling more relaxed now that I can’t do anymore to the car before testing, think I would have kept going and going!

Good luck!

Soo...
Did you pass?
Honestly hope you did...

He could be de-greasing himself.

They say alcohol is a wonderful de-greaser.


Fingers crossed.
