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

I remember doing my P's test at the Ryde rta and the instructor tried 2 tricks on me. The first one was a 3 point turn in a lane way that was not wide enough for 2 cars to pass and the other was choosing the most expensive car possible to do a reverse parallel park behind. On the drive back I asked how I went in the 3 point turn as it took 7 points because it was too tight for the car. Full marks he tells me. It was his stress test to see if I'd panic.
I actually don't consider his stress test a dog act because in the real world driving on your own how you react when the unknown happens is really important. My sister didn't get her p plates till she was 25 and is a very anxious person. Needless to say she has let her licence expire and does not drive anymore because she can't handle the random acts of others.
