current dpi bookings

kyliejane · 26-05-2008, 02:37 PM

anyone called up recently to book a test? interested to know what date they are upto as far as booking tests goes? is it 3 months in advance they go upto?

(i know i can call them but cant sit on hold atm cause im sitting on reception)

Msg Bart - he booked one not too long ago
And yes, I sympathise having to sit on the phone to book your test... Was ringing up EVERY day in December last year because I wanted to get in before Christmas... and was tying up the reception phone!
Oh, and to get an early test is purely pot luck - someone may have cancelled a nano-second before you rang cos they go like hot-cakes!

thanks kristy, i cant sit my R's until late August or early September (cant remember) but just curious as to whether tests have been released that far ahead?

Try booking tests at Kelmscott.

I have made a couple of calls to them lately, and When I rang them a week ago they had spare tests for every day this week.

Hope this helps

Yes, correct in your assumption. Their system only allows them to schedule upto 3 months ahead, max. Pain, I know.

if you're still having trouble getting a booking when the time comes that you can go for your R, i got some mates within the licensing side of DPI that can get you one asap. just need to give them your licence and contact number so they can call you once they get a test booking for you.

Winter is the best time to try and get a cancellation. From what I hear, when rain is predicted, some people cancell out, scared of the braking test, or dont own wet gear, or something.

So basically from what I hear, if the weather bureau predicts rain, jump on the phone!

andy_b · 03-06-2008, 08:38 AM

yea go for it when its raining aye... i did my test and it wasnt exactly raining but it had been raining earlier so the roads were still wet and i was a bit worried about the braking but in the end i just used my front brake only and pulld up within the distance and only had to do it once so yea its pretty easy to do it in the rain

robocop · 03-06-2008, 09:14 AM

thats funny cause KJ did her RE in the rain lol

kyliejane · 03-06-2008, 09:17 AM

haha i was gonna cry when it started raining. lucky the assessor liked me

cammo85 · 03-06-2008, 05:42 PM

I rang today and booked a test for August the 11th.

semi · 03-06-2008, 06:13 PM

god damnit i hate the DPI booking system. If you try to book for xxx date, all they can say is that it is/isnt available. Cant tell you if those dates are released yet, useless cunts
