    Ummmm be a man and make up your mind. You don't just not turn up and then make up a bull**** story why you couldn't make it.

    i'd call them asap and apologise profusely, explain your current situation, remember you cant please everyone nor is it your task to do so, they are a business and if they want your business they can get stuffed and do it your way.

    It's better to be honest and upfront, she may be able to squeeze another person in that spot, letting her wait for you to never show and then lying about it is kind of childish and a bit of a cop out.

    Sorry mate thats what I think.

    What's the worst that can happen if you decide to go away? The woman might get a bit angry on the phone, but at the end of they day they won't refuse you another test appointment just because you can't make that one. After all, they stuffed up in the first place.

    Work is much more important IMO.

    Tell her now that you have to go away for work, it's enough notice for her to fill the spot. If you blow her off and not tell her, how much harder is it going to be to actually pass the test with them. It's just common courtesy to let people know when plans change. I don't know about driving tests, but if you don't show for a restaurant booking they charge you anyway, same with doctors.
