Re: Why Don't Drivers Slow Down?
when i went to blackburn test centre .. i got the boss of the test centre as my driving examiner who had only started there 4 weeks previous .. my driving instructor was waiting with the other instructors for us all to come back ..and they told her that i would fail because this examiner didnt like passing anyone if they made a mistake .. you know you are allowed to have 5 mistakes not important mistakes like on the emergency stop etc ... in fact he hadnt passed anyone since becoming the boss of the test centre ... and the pass rate at that time for blackburn test centre was 33.5% he wanted to lower the pass rate to 24.6 .. when i got back .. i was the last one back ..and going through it .. i said can you explain it to my driving instructor .. and he said no .. got out of the car .. said to the driving instructor shes failed .. and walked into the test centre. The next time i went to blackburn test centre i got him again ... failed again ..

Re: Why Don't Drivers Slow Down?
you can appeal if you think you were failed unfairly and 1 minor fault is not a fail.

Re: Why Don't Drivers Slow Down?
Took my test in Burnley in '62 ... after being real critical of my driving skills, or lack of them, the examiner passed me
 When I arrived in Saskatchewan, I just traded my Brit licence for a Saskatchewan one. Didn't have to take another test .... most places in Sask. you can drive for ages without seeing another car. But I did have to take a test for my motorcycle endorsement. Took the test in May, along with four or five other hopefuls ... just before the test began, a spring blizzard blew in. The examiner, who was the local RCMP officer, passed everyone, jumped in his cruiser, and took off. Visibility was close to zero, and we all wanted out of there real quick. Lots of room on the roads over here ... most people drive fast. And only wimps slow down in a snow storm. |
