As previously blogged, I had language issues during my driving exam and failed. I wrote to the driving authority and today received a response.
Unfortunately it is in Swedish, so I will have to wait for someone to read it to me tomorrow. But I managed to find the following sentence:
Detta gör att Vägverket beslutar att avgiften ska betalas tillbaka.
Which Google Translate takes to mean This makes the National Road Administration decides that the fee to be paid back.
Obviously I don’t understand the context, but I am hoping this means that they will not charge me for the exam. More news tomorrow …
I asked my supervisor to translate the letter for me and I am getting my money back.
However, the author stated that she chose not to address the more systematic problem that resulted in me being told I could do the test in English, I couldn’t do the test in English, I needed to do the test in Swedish and I could do the test in English.
I think this is very concerning! But I do not wish to make myself too unpopular before passing the test …
