Does anybody want to buy my driving test? Sunday 27th October at Bredbury, Stockport. I bought from a reseller for £155 (which is crazy), preferably take £120. I just can't do it due to work commitments.

That's fucked up.
In Ontario thats considered a scam, the only body that has authority for managing bookings for the Drive center is handled by the Drive center.
Anyone who offers a booking service, or a private person trying to sell their appointment is considered fraud.
Why did you pay for an appointment instead of just booking directly?

In Ontario, this is not a scam but probably viewed as unethical behavior. People sell tests all the time and I actually paid to get a Saturday booking cuz I work mon to fri.

When I went to book my wife's drive test I saw the adds. I ignored but asked at the drive test center.
They said "we do not contract external booking agencies, exchanging appointments is strongly discouraged, anybody offering appointment services are likely a scam and will result in a loss of payment and no booking being made."
Show me receipts because I'm calling bullshit on your "bought road test"

Lol I cannot believe that you are serious. You cannot seriously think that the test centers are the ones selling the dates right?
This has been going on for years in Ontario. The test centre now has a new system which makes buying dates difficult but I think it has only been the case for the last few months.
Talk to any driving instructor in Ontario for god sake.
Do you understand how the real world works?

Electrical-Strike-77@reddit (OP)
Yes!!! Loads of people it’s crazy!! They get cancellations and resell them for crazy high because through dvla you can’t get a test till like Easter next year so they sell the cancellations for like that month for crazy high!!
