DSA keeping my fee

Hi all,

I'm not sure if i'm in the right place here, anyway i'll ask any how.

Today was suppose to be my driving test, and i arrived late, by time the examiner came into the waiting room he told me that he wasn't going to do the test as i was 6 mins late, by all the ADI's watches in the waiting room they said i was 5 mins late, apparently they allow 5 mins.
Have the DSA got rights to keep my fee and not offer me a refund or another appiontment (this doesn't really matter as i have re-booked), cause to me this seems unfair and just a way to scam people out of money.

    It may seem unfair but you should have been on time. If everyone was late by just 5 minutes, the poor person on the last test of the day would probably have their test cancelled due to running out of time and that really wouldn't be fair!

    If you read the booking letter it does state that if you are late you may not be able to sit your test and will not get your fee returned. x

    That's a shame but what's the betting you'll be there well in time for the next one! One of life's little tough lessons.
