Another Oxymoron

October 20th, 2005

Today I successfully failed my bike theory test.
Reason: I was not allowed to sit the exam.
Explaination: I have misplaced my photo ID card for my licence, which I thought was no big deal since the appointment card clearly stated that a passport would be sufficient identification. Armed with my licence documents, passport and appointment letter I was confident that taking the exam would not be an issue. However, that was not the case and I was told I could not sit the exam and had to forfeit the examination fee.

The reason I did not re-apply for another photo card was that I am currently in the process of changing my licence so any changes made would involve having to be issued a new photocard. Secondly, it costs the same amount as the exam for a re-issue.

The thing that really really gets to me is that, my passport was my identification to create the licence and based soley on that I was able to get the photo ID, but however not having the photo ID and using the passport instead is not good enough for the DVLA… even if it is just to sit a poxy exam to change my licence status.
