Is the test rain or shine?  This retarded weather will BUM ME OUT if it denies me my license.

I believe +1 unless it's severe weather conditions.

Have you tried Trama's Auto School? They're usually pretty good about fitting people in.

I passed! Yay me!  The test, BTW, was a nightmare.  They make you do circles & 8's within one side of the street.  If you cross the yellow line, you fail.  This was exactly what I feared!  Fortunately the dude in front of me was renting a scooter from a guy who does this on Craigslist.  He rolls out with his car and his cheapo Chinese scooter and charges $100 for the first person.  He charged each of us $50.  This is the first scooter I've ridden since I was 17 (bad accident.  I swore I'd never ride a two-wheeled vehicle EVER again.  You can see how well that stuck).  No practicing allowed!  The first time I rode the scooter was to take the test.  I rode ON the yellow line - twice!  And I shouldn't have been allowed to take the test on it.  You gotta use the bike you bring, but this guy is cool with these DMV types and he convinced her to let me use his scooter.  Had I known I wouldn't have gone to VT to get my buddy to help me with the test  Roll Eyes

So PM me if you wanna go riding!

It's one side of a road.  Like I said, it definitely can be done.  With a lot of practice and a number of foot-downs.
