    How does one go about doing this?

    Is there a cancellation list which does not need a 'letter from employer' but that will just be called at short notice?

    If you do not need it then it’s not fare to get it. everyone else has to wait for them.

    Basically as follows:

    I have now been on the waiting list for my Driving Test well over a year. The NCTS gave me a scheduled date for Car Test three weeks after the cert's expiry date. My Driving Test fell within the 'expired time'. NCT said there was nothing they could do about it.

    Knowing that the invalid disc could mean my test would be cancelled, and forfeiting my fee, I cancelled the test by phone, and as such freed up the slot for another applicant.

    I am a postgrad student in UCD. There is no direct bus service between my home and UCD, and due to a chronic knee injury I cannot walk or cycle the distance involved.

    I feel that I have been given the runaround by the system by actually playing by the rules.

    aaaaaaaaa that’s more like it...
    Get a letter from a doctor stating your problem and send it in with your application. you will receive a ref number then ring them (D.O.T) and tell them you need a test ASAP. if you get no joy ring again, and again, and so on...

    Why? There are a ****load of cancellation slots that go unfilled. It's only right that someone should take one. Other people can ask for a cancellation slot too if they're prepared to sit their test at a day's notice.

    I asked for a cancellation slot before as I had still about 2 months left to wait and it was looking likely that my test would fall right in the middle of my final year college exams. I rang them up, told them that I had exams in 2 months time. They asked me did I want to postpone the test. I said no, as I'd be moving to Dublin to start work shortly after my exams. So they gave me a cancellation slot instead.
