A friend of mine has just failed his practical exam, but the examiner he had with him was quite ridiculous - first, the examiner grabbed the steering wheel on entering a dual carriageway and pulled the car onto the left because the examiner thought that the lorry that was 10 car lengths behind, on the right(!!) lane, may bump into them. The examiner then apologised and let my friend continue :continue:

Even worse, on a roundabout, the exit that my friend was asked to go has two lanes, and the instructor always said that my friend has to use the left lane - but my friend got 2 majors for joining the left lane, and for 'making a car at an exit brake' (erm, traffic from the right has priority?? He was supposed to come off at the 4th exit, car at the 2nd ventured into the roundabout with front wheels, but then stopped?)

SO this is quite ridiculous, I am aware that there is a way of contesting, does anyone know what the official route to do this is?

Many thanks.
 
Free retest, didn't think it would be much more than that, but that way at least someone would look into that incompetent fool and get him banned from examining....then again, incompetency and government go hand in hand....well, I seem to be fuming more than my mate.

He jsut told me that the sheet they give you says you can appeal, but it has to go to court and you have to seek legal advice.

Unlucky :( I hope I meet that examiner on the road 1 day :mad:
