Did the test go ahead? The offence before the test is different from the substance of the test itself I would think.

The test has been completed before the examiner called on Olopa.

He should plead guilty, and take any punishment on the chin.

OMG!

He is guilty of the offence....... He should expect 6 points on his yet to arrive licence + a fine ....... He should expect a court summons in the post............

This is why we emphasize, using a driving instructors vehicle...... We can't be pennywise and pound foolish......

The instructor failed him at the spot before calling the police. The court summons has arrived. That's what we are trying to fill together. But it's not easy to defend.

No defence........ Your friend would be automatically banned........ Due to the amount of points, the magistrates would impose........

I would categorically tell you, the test probably never went ahead....... Don't forget the police had to attend, considering all the timings involved...... The test slot would be missed...... ๐Ÿ˜

Who would be in the right frame of mind, to still proceed with the test....... ๐Ÿ˜…

Lol. if given the option to continue, he shoukd have said yes but requested for another examiner ๐Ÿ˜‚

Imagine he had a accident on the way to the test centre....... The resulting consequences, would not even bare considerations.......

Let's say, he got off lightly...... Another lesson to add to his notes....... ๐Ÿ˜

Come on Justwise. You are more than this. I honestly think you are capable of a more nuanced assumption/thinking/point of view.

Your thought (on this matter) assumes that ALL Christians think the same (or should think the same).
Your submission seem to suggest that ALL Blaxk people think the same, or should think the same.

Your argument on this issue assumes that exactly the same thing matters to All Black people.

Even your own blood brother or sister, heck even your own identical twin does not like or dislike exactly 100% of the things you like or dislike.

I am a black woman, I will vote for Trump because I like position on abortion.

I am a Christian, I voted for Nigel Farage because I like his idea of increased threshold for taxation.

Those things matter to me, because I am me. Not because I am a Christian or a black woman.

Yes i expect all bible believing christian to think the same when it come to those two individuals, especially Trump, i did not expect any Christians to make excuses for him.

I do not expect all black people to think the same but i do expect them to draw a line when it comes to racism.

You claimed that you will vote for Trump because of his stand on abortion and my question to you is this... if you are pregnant and during one of your check-ups your doctor found out that your pregnancy is a high risk one and a result he suggested that you terminate the pregnancy so as to save your life, what will you do?

Curious to know though. If you friend had failed the driving test, didnt he feel it could be an issue if the examiner noticed he drove out of the centre unaccompanied after failing his test, regardless of having an int'l license?

It's not a little error bro. Its major! He drove to the driving test centre without a licence feeling funky haba. He could have called someone with full licence to sit beside him. Even with that, if he didn't add L plates, he would have been in trouble.

Anyway, tell you friend to get a nice oyster card or contactless bank card.

Dear Elders,

I couldn't quote my post from the Part 2 thread, but in summary, it was about the threats I received from my boss for being pregnant. He said, I concealed the pregnancy before receiving my Certificate of Sponsorship (COS) from the company. I tried explaining that it was a coincidence, as I became pregnant the same month I got employed. My child's birth should have proven my innocence and vindicated me.

After the threat to withdraw my COS or report to the Home Office for concealing the pregnancy, I felt discriminated, as soon as I commenced my maternity leave

I was immediately removed from the WhatsApp group, unlike another colleague currently on maternity leave but still in the group. Fast forward to my return to work after a year: I was moved to a new client with fewer hours. I didnโ€™t complain and continued working diligently. This was Barely a month after my resumption, my boss said that due to a shortage of clients in this service area i am moved to, I wouldnโ€™t be getting enough shifts. He advised me to start searching for other sponsorship opportunities, stating that the company doesnโ€™t know when they will secure more clients and they wouldnโ€™t want the Home Office to question why Iโ€™m not getting enough shifts.

I asked politely about the client I was working with before my maternity leave (this is the client on my employment contract), but I was shocked when he said that the client no longer wanted a female carer. This surprised me, as I had no issues with that client before. Although I felt like contacting the client myself but it is against company policy.

My boss, the Managing Director, suggested he would send links to NHS and construction company opportunities for me to explore.

Elders, I know for sure that this is planned discrimination due to my pregnancy. I donโ€™t know what to do or where to start. Before my maternity leave, there were rumors about โ€œletโ€™s see how they would survive.โ€ We did survive without maternity pay or government assistance, hence the current COS withdrawal threat. I need advice on how to overcome this hurdle. I am barely two years into my five-year COS.

Is it not the Home Office's duty to withdraw a COS or request that one should look for another sponsor? I am still working and managing the few hours I have, but I am preparing for what seems inevitable.

Part of me wants to fight, especially questioning why I was removed from my primary assignment on my return from maternity leave. However, another part of me is hesitant, knowing that fighting a company, especially one that sponsors you, is challenging.

I am feeling very depressed about this situation. I donโ€™t want to burden you with all the details, but it is clear that this is discrimination, and I have done nothing wrong. I have been a good staff member.

Thank you for your guidance and support.
