The people that slow down at every opportunity really annoy me. It interrupts the flow of traffic and seems to result in slow mental processing which I personally think contributes to accidents.
How many of you live in Sydney and have seen Brisbane drivers? They/we drive like 80 year olds with bad eyesight and our peak hour traffic is horrendous as a result.
A couple years ago I went to Sydney for work and had a hire car, and it was awesome. Traffic was just go go go, not due to speeding, just due to everyone being aware of their place in the flow and I didn't see a single collision or roadrage incident. Brisbane people can't drive for crap - sorry not sorry!

For traffic to be impeded by people who slow down at every opportunity it would have to be a busy road which would also have right of way.
Looking at the photo posted, the OP’s daughter was in a residential area where slowing down would have little to no effect on traffic flow.
I would expect that the tester would want the learner driver to show they looked left and right by turning their head and therefore increasing their peripheral vision range and not start off their driving life with bad habits.
Which part of Sydney were you driving in that was so awesome where the traffic was go, go, go due to everyone being aware of their place in the flow.
Major roads in Sydney have been gridlocked for years.
No road rage in Sydney, hehehehe
