Drive Test Chaos & Fees
I know, the drive tests are cancelled, now that the whole province is shutdown... But what about the fees paid for those tests?
I had a Drive Test scheduled in late April from earlier on in the year (part of some misplaced hope things would be better). Now with the new lockdown I got an email informing me the test was automatically cancelled. Okay, that's fine, but what about the fee I paid for that test? Has anyone else received a refund or a notification that you would be refunded/credited for that paid fee?
My only hope is that when ever I'm able to go take the damn test they may hopefully see that I have already paid for one, but the total lack of communication makes me think otherwise and that the $95 fee is basically a sunk cost.
EDIT/UPDATE: I was able to rebook the drive test now (4 days later) at no extra cost. All is well.

You’ll receive a credit for this test that you’ll use when you rebook. I had a test cancelled in December, and when i rebooked for april, it showed up as $0 total. I dont think i ever received specific communication about it, but had read a post on the drivetest website
Just to jump on this comment, here’s the link if anyone is looking for it.
Ok, that's comforting. I had tried in vain to see what would happen if I rebooked it today but the system threw an error at me when it got to the scheduling section. Fingers crossed for the next time in 28 days I guess.
I tried again tonight as well, and the site took about 5 mins to load each page of the process. Once I clicked the right location, it didn’t even load the calendar to choose.. im assuming the system is just overloaded, might try again at like 2am
Thanks! I rebooked it today and there was no fee this time so its all good. Now I just hope I'm able to take the damn thing when the date rolls around lol.
