Default Re: Driving Test..... too harsh?

Rosie , a fellow workmate was telling me one day about her son Craig's failure of his first driving test . He was going well , done well in the written test and then his examiner asked him to make a turn . It was a place where the turn couldn't be made . Craig hesitated and said to her that he thought it was illegal.

She apparently said "Are you sure about that " . She failed him for two things . First thing was he was too cautious and not decisive enough before suggesting that the requested turn was wrong and secondly for not checking his mirrors enough . He had to re do the test a few weeks later and got it then .

This was probably five years ago now .

Driving examiners have to be tough , fair enough, but there's no need to play mind games with the candidate most of whom are toey enough already .

It's cruel IMO ..
