They were anxiously awaiting the results of the highway code test, but it was quite another news that the candidates received. Due to a burglary, they were asked to retake their exam.
Examining the highway code is a stressful ordeal. For the candidates registered for the session on July 17, it was a real obstacle course. Due to a burglary in the premises of the Collectivity of Saint-Martin on July 19, they were forced to retake their exam last Friday. “You have surely been informed of the burglary perpetrated in the premises of the old hospital and consequently in the transport offices, leading to the disappearance of equipment and documents relating to the theoretical and practical driving license. Faced with this situation we are forced to redo the five (5) ETG sessions (General Theoretical Examination-Editor's note) of Friday July 17, 2020, no longer having access to the equipment on which the results of these tests were recorded ”. It is by this message, emanating from the direction of the transport services and sent several days after the facts that the driving schools of Saint-Martin learned the news on July 24th.
Around "70 candidates"
could be concerned
They were nearly 70 candidates according to our information (the service concerned indicated not to have the figures in mind-Editor's note), penalized by the burglary, to have been invited to retake their exam. For one of them it is the last straw. “We took the exam on Friday July 17th. We hoped to have our results during the day or at the latest the next day but the following Monday we learned that the premises had been burgled ”explains the candidate. "Why the results were not secured and collected earlier" she wonders, denouncing "a lack of seriousness" and a certain "injustice". “I had the feeling that I had passed my test well. I had to take an exam again having been warned at the last moment because I learned last Thursday that my exam would take place the next day, ”she laments. "I do not understand why the results were not disclosed the same day, it would have avoided this situation. Beyond the burglary, you must be available four days in a row to be sure to be able to pass this exam. It is an organization unworthy of what one expects for a national examination. My son was not present and was warned at the last minute, so he could not re-enter his code! ” add an exasperated parent
Complain or no complaint?
Although it claims to have taken the step, according to our information, the Collectivity would not have lodged a complaint following the burglary of its premises. “The Collective building located at Fort Louis was effectively broken into. It houses the addressing service, the transport service and the environment service. Nothing significant was stolen except for a computer with the code results inside. The IT specialists tried to retrieve the data from the Collective's cloud, in vain ”explained the Collective.
