Got all the forms filled out and was ready to go. Talked to friendly solicitor who more or less told me not to bother. Then spoke to a Garda supt. who in a direct way told me to drop it as I'd have no joy. Turned out the same thing happened to his daughter and nothing could be done about it. That drove it home; If the daughter of a Garda Superintendant can't get justice in good old corrupt Ireland, nobody can. Instead, I've resigned myself to spending the rest of the testers life bitching about him to anyone who ever mentions the subject of driving tests to me. It's a vocation.... Nope.

Instead, I’ve resigned myself to spending the rest of the testers life bitching about him to anyone who ever mentions the subject of driving tests to me. It’s a vocation….

Mon, 05 Sep 2005 11:31:36 +0000 http://blog.rymus.net/?p=292#comment-189 [...] After sexually abusing a feline in my last foray into coherant ranting on the subject of my less than kosher driving test, I reapplied and included a letter from work. Well the letter must have had some effect because here I am, only a month later, having sat my second driving test. I arrived at the Cork test center at around 8am this morning for a pre-test lesson, after which I spent several tense minutes in the waiting room being finally called around 9.20am. I felt somewhat better going into this test knowing that the rotund assfork of a so-called human being that tested me the last time (tested my driving, patience, etc) was on holidays (according to my driving instructor) and so I’d probably get a fighting chance.

That was bad luck on your part. The instructor should have been awake! I'd qualify that last sentence, "Don’t complain about anything Government related in Ireland, it’ll get you nowhere anyway." I find that complaining nicely, and firmly helps a lot when it's a private business involved. Unless it's "Murphy's side of the road carpet sale" in which case they've probably moved their Hi-ace vans on by the time you discover the fault... Ouch! That was bad luck on your part.
