There were no examiners there and the test was cancelled with no valid reason or warning i was gutted and now i have to wait 8 weeks for another test which means more lessons and more money, has this happened to anyone before and do they compensate you i feel they should, so unfair.

That stinks! And yes, you should be compensated.
I arrived on my test day only to be turned away because I was driving my parents van - - the same vehicle I was practicing on! They claimed because the tester would be unable to reach the emergency brake in the event of an emergency that the vehicle was unsuitable for testing me in.
How lousy is that on your 17th B-Day when you are expecting to get your license!
I borrowed a relative's car and passed 2 weeks later. I think you (and I at the time) have the right to compensation.
And in my case - how can you permit someone to practice driving in a vehicle that you won't let them take the test in???

I got my test so long ago. When I did it you didn't need an appointment, you just waited in line for your turn and give the man your permit and you both went to the car, drove around, parked and other things. Then I drove back to the center and he got out, I parked and went back in line to receive my license. I never had a problem with "no one" being there. Nor have I ever heard of having to pay for the test.
sorry for you. you don't you call there and ask what happened and what can be done for a makeup because you still don't have your license and they still have your money.

Yeah, I'd call the DMV and raise an unholy stink.
I'm not sure why you need to continue taking lessons, but certainly the fact that you met your end of the schedule and they didn't is worth complaining about.
Yeah, they are state workers. No, it doesn't mean they shouldn't follow the common sense behind business relationships.
If you're going to raise a stink, I would make sure to have people's names. That is, "Dora Roberts" told me on "mm/dd/yyyy" at hh:mm that somebody had called in sick and when I asked why they didn't inform the people who had appointments not to come, she said that it wasn't the DMV's policy..."
The idea here is to put a name on the blame. Otherwise, it will go nowhere.

OMG!!!! i can't believe they did that to you, i would get hold of a number to complain and make sure you get compensated!!!!!! the only reason they are allowed to cancel a test is if the weather conditions are too bad to let a learner drive and they have to reschedule you as soon as possibel, if this wasn't the case, then GET YOUR MONEY BACK!!!!!

I don't know the reason for the cancellation but yes, you can claim for the cost of the school car, time off work etc. Claim for everything you can think of, enclosing receipts from the school etc. Write to you local DSA area office.

its not fair!
report them!!
where are you from?
in my place, i would only have to pay once.
and the test will be held weekly.
are you sure you have to wait for that long?
it's not your fault that you cant take the test today.
so its not right for you to pay extra for that.
