    Hi all

    Just a quick question. If it rains on the day of my test will I still be allowed to take it?

    Thanks all

    In a one word answer yes, i did mine in the rain

    The test center will cancel tests if they feel the weather deems the test "unsafe" in cases of extreme snow or really really REALLY heavy rain

    If you do it in the rain mind out for white painted lines and drain covers

    When I did MOD1 it was chucking it down, just be carefull on the avoidance(swerve) test and emergency stop. the test centre tarmac apparently is designed to drain very quickly, I found grip level was very high, even in the wet.
    Shouldn't be a problem Maz, apart from getting a little damp! ;D
    There's no feelin' like 2 wheelin'

    In fact, if it rains, and you chose not to do your test, you would forfeit your fee. Let's face it, if they didn't test in the rain, they wouldn't get any tests done... :

    My examiner also followed me round in his car. January 2001 freezing cold and light snow on the ground.

    I did my Mod2 in the wet, just remember to give yourself more space and think ahead.
    It's Lilac... not pink!
