Coming to a road near you......
« on: 09 May 2015, 10:59:56 am »



If they can’t pass after days or weeks of studying, and appear to have no common sense whatsoever, then their reactions will be utterly useless in an emergency scenario.
They should be banned from driving.

And then (presuming she actually gets through the full Test) she'll be entitled to drive whatever she likes for the rest of her life!  :thumbdown

I just find it quite scary.
113 times at anything should be more than enough, but when you drive there is a lot of responsibility on your behalf as well to make things as safe as possible for everyone around you.
This is just a theory test, it doesn't mention if she has any difficulty in reading or whatever although i'm sure there are ways around that even though you should be able to read signs, but either way i get the feeling she could be a danger on the roads.
They should put a camera in her car if she ever gets as far as learner driving, it would make interesting viewing.

Can't help thinking that once people like her have established their incompetence beyond reasonable doubt they ought to be banned. Instead, it's just a matter of time before they fluke their way through the test.
My niece had no trouble with the theory test, was hopeless in the practical... yet still passed at the first attempt. The examiner was probably concentrating more on her figure than her driving. Now she's had a bit more time on the road she's competent enough, but at the time even she said she should have failed.

I did my bike theory test in about 20 minutes 'cos i had a majorly upset stomach and was desperate for the toilet, but wasn't allowed to leave the room once the test had started.
I didn't care if i failed in that last minute I HAD TO GO.
Still passed though.  :D
