Click here... from here click .. book your practical test... click book a test.


On this page in the first box choose 'other' this will bring up the Bike categories (if you choose bike it just brings up moped only - weird)


Ive gone through the process as far as I can and it seems to work? Obviously it may not work the further down the process you get.


Let me know how u get on :)

Did you get it sorted? I've been trying to do the same since last week, when I passed Mod 1. I already have a booking for Mod2 but it's a month away and I'd like to do it earlier. When I enter my details the site tells me there's a problem with my details, so I phoned the helpline number (0300 200 1122) and was told that the computer system was having a bad hair day, but I could book a test over the phone. Unfortunately they didn't have a suitable cancellation at the time, but the guy said that if I tried the following day it should work fine. That was almost a week ago, and I've been trying ever since, but I keep getting the same message - there's a problem with my details :(

The wierd thing is, when the helpline guy enters my details into his computer it brings up my booking details on his screen, but if I try it online, no joy! I'd rather book online, just because I can see what's available and take time to figure out when I can get some time off work for a couple of lessons and the test. Anyway, I suppose if I can't get it sorted soon I may as well wait and take the booking I already have.

Nope it gets so far as mentioned below and then bombs out without confirming a booking, tells me to ring the helpline. I've rung the helpline over 10 times over the past 5 days and everytime they tell me the computer is down and they cant help me! What a shower!


I wanna do my Mod 2...NOW!

Its V Poor, I work in IT for a Solicitors and we were discussing this yesterday, if our online portal was down we'd be expected to sort it out in, at the most 2 hours. They've had a week to fix a Government run site, and its still fubar'd

Just a thought. Have you tried deleting any site-specific cookies and re-entering the details from scratch?

b*gg*r!


What details dont it accept?

 

Well, I've tried all the different conbinations of my licence number, my theory test certificate number, and my application ref number (for my original Mod 2 booking). Just tried again, 5 minutes ago. I also thought I'd try making a fresh booking (clicked on "book a test" instead of "manage your test booking), and worry about cancelling my existing one later, but I only got the option of booking a moped test, not really what I had in mind :? :?
