"I go see him and he says all ladies get tested every 2 weeks at 5am, there was no other testing time. If I don't show up then, I won't get tested."

Haven't read all the above posts as no time but briefly, he's right. 5am because to avoid the rush hours where not only are there huge traffic jams but your defensive driving has to be tops - you've seen the crazy drivers - how to sit for a test with those nutters zipping by within a mm of your car? You have 20 years experience, as do I.. but many ladies do not. Some ladies take time to get used to the roads etc.

Also ladies are tested only a day or 2, once a fortnight - because the tester is a male police officer but there has to be a female PO sitting at the back. Female POs are not as common as the guys and thus, cannot be easily arranged to attend those driving tests.

kyuting 13's post above - accurate account of what's to be expected.
