had to call them, apparently the payment/booking won't process unless you run I.E.

So if you have a Mac, just call them, since there aren't any browsers that are compatible.

well, i booked mine in Barrie, not nearly as busy as the more southern drive test centers. If you want to make the trek, there was still one on that date at 2pm, and May 8th as well iirc.
 
I think the increase is ok ... like the article says, the fee's have not gone up in 15 yrs

I agree.. It's a modest increase and below the pace of inflation. I'm not a big fan of the fiberals, but in this case, it's not a bad idea.

actually the calculation if it was inflation is very small as well ... check this inflation calculator out :

so if we put in 75 bucks and we say it was since 1995 to 2010 ... then the new cost should be $106.23
 
a $5 or $10 increase isn't gonna kill anyone... if so, you shouldn't be driving/riding then...
 
It wouldn't kill anyone, but complaining is free!
 
This is much more reasonable than the Miller Personal Vehicle Tax ... can't get angry about it.

exactly my first reaction was...remember we were paying much more because of the imposed vehicle registration tax before it changed back to $74..

I don't understand this attitude.

This extra revenue gets put back in to this lovely province you take for granted. When it snows, you get clear salted roads, the roads are crazy smooth everywhere you go unlike many countries that are not lucky enough and suffer on dirt, bumpy roads.

I welcome this increase because I always see public transport commuters getting fair hikes all the time and I honestly don't remember the last time any service cost has gone up for me.

I love Ontario and if spending a few more dollars every year helps the deficit then great!

You explained that attitude in your own post. They see it as money coming out of their pocket with no return.
