That makes me laugh. When I got my bike license the very last part of the test was a slalom that set you up to approach a line at a certain speed at which point you had to do an emergency stop. I stopped in about 2/3rds the distance I was "supposed to".

She told me I started braking too soon. I told her I'm really good on the brakes. She said nobody is that good. Go around and do it again.

So I did. She watched me closely and I stopped in the same distance again. No sliding or lost traction.

She agreed, Okay, you passed.
