Interesting... I see DriveTest want more and more 'free' money.
from MTO's online booking system:
Prepaid examination fees are valid for a six-year period from the date of payment. Any fees not used before the six-year period will expire and become non-refundable.

DriveTest centres currently experiencing longer service wait times

If you licence is about to expire, I would suggest to pass a road test ASAP. Even though MTO has extended licences until 1st July of 2010, once your licence expired you will not be able to use our service, online road test booking system or automated phone booking system. You will need to call DriveTest's call center or go to any DriveTest center, this is not very convenient and also it's much more difficult to find needed day/time/center.
As usual our clients get priority date and time please see profile to get contact information or visit our web site www.bookroadtest.com

Woman killed after saving baby from oncoming vehicle
The driver was 83-year-old woman, possible with expired licence auto-extended due DriveTest strike. How many unqulified drivers are out on our roads. What do you think?
The Canadian Press
A mother was killed and her 12-week-old baby boy thrown from his stroller, but unharmed, when the two were struck by a car running a red light, Toronto police said Tuesday.
The 28-year-old woman was pushing her child across an intersection in the city's west end when the tragedy occurred just before 1 p.m.
While the child was knocked out of the stroller by the impact his mother became pinned under the vehicle. The woman was pronounced dead just 15 minutes later, while the child was take to hospital and found not to have any injuries, said Const. Hugh Smith.
The driver of the car was thought to be an 83-year-old woman, police said.
People nearby immediately came forward to take care of the infant, said Smith.

DriveTest Strike Over, Centres Resume Full Operations
It’s the day would-be drivers have been waiting for months to arrive.
DriveTest resumes full operations Monday at 1pm following a four-month strike that tested the patience of thousands waiting to get a driver's licence and driving school owners and instructors who suffered serious financial strain during the job action.
Nearly 600 employees of Serco DES, the company that runs DriveTest for the province, walked off the job on Aug. 21. On Thursday about 72 per cent of workers voted in favour of ratifying the agreement forged two weeks ago.
Sticking points in negotiations included wages, benefits and a proposal to increase the amount of part-time workers.
The strike has led to a massive backlog and DriveTest is expected to hire an additional 100 employees to deal with the thousands of people wanting to take a road test.
Customers should expect very long waits at DriveTest centres.
“DriveTest is asking customers to wait two or three weeks before making an appointment or coming to a DriveTest Centre, unless they need service for employment or training purposes,” the company’s website says. “This will allow DriveTest to give priority to those customers as they work through the backlog created by the strike.”
If your licence expired on or after Aug. 24, 2009, you’ll still be covered by the automatic licence extension until July 1, 2010.
