This will make you laugh - My Driving Test

   Hello all,
   
   As some of you know, today was my driving test.
   It was my luck I got the examiner who has received the most amount of complaints - he decides if you are going to pass before you take the test.
   
   So, he FAILED me:
   6 Majors - here is the funny thing - this is what they were:
   
   1) Safely turning left when told to turn left. (I don't understand this one.)
   2) Not pulling out when a cyclist was riding past. Instead, apparently, I wasn't meant to be hesitant - the only other option was to run the guy over.
   3) Pulling off when the closest car was 150 yards away - that's two rugby pitches.
   4) Pulling 'unsafely' onto a roundabout when there were no other cars on the roundabout. Apparently I caused these non-existant cars to slow down.
   5) Holding the car on the clutch when this is commended by all other examiners. My guy just didn't like it.
   6) Breaking when a car pulled out infront of me. Apparently I was supposed to drive into it.
   
   It's a funny old life eh?

   Not just retaking - complaining.
   
   I'm getting the next test free because of the conditions of this one - namely a completely irrational examiner.
   
   My driving instructor went mental at how irrational the examiner was. It was rediculous. Atleast 5 of my 6 majors weren't meant to even be faults.
   
   Pah

   How absolutely outrageous! A little bit of power goes to some people's heads. I have to admire your humour in the face of adversity. You made it sound really funny, but I bet you're seething.

   Do not feel bad lots drivers fail on their first round. Knew one guy was so nervous, he hit a fence (soft knock) while backing up

   Sounds like what I've heard about some insurance companies, that they refuse the first time of a claim, just because.

   I think the examiner was new.  Too bad.  But write a hub, it could be very popular.
