Report: Restricted test in Northcross...terrible

[Madness]

Howick AA has a short pommy git with the pre-requisite bad attitude. Don't go there if you're asian coz apparently "they've all had labotomies performed in China before immigrating".

After he passed me we became the best of mates, so he thought.

+1 for Orewa, very friendly lady up here :-)

Perhaps they have quotas lol,more failings means more revenue for the AA or testering group.
My stepson completed his defensive driving course,then when his restricted time was complete applied to do his full license test.He was on time,car perfect(well less exhaust big bore crap),went and proceeded to do the test,got back and the Asian tester failed him for get this hazard identification rule.Apparently according to the tester an intersection without any people,car or pet is a hazzard.He was pissed off to say the least,came home chucked his defensive driving cd in computer,went to hazzards and you had to click the mouse to indicate a hazzard,he clicked at every intersection with no hazzards,computer voice said no hazzard detected,where a kid was present he clicked,and voice said correct.In the end he sat the test and passed,commented to the tester what happened,the tester agreed having a person not able to speak fluent english is hard.They sent a complaint in but nothing happened.My thoughts were the tester misunderstood his reply saying the intersection isn't a hazzard unless kids,pets,cars are present.

They do actually have quotas. or, more specifically, expected pass rates. Each tester, and each site is expected to have Y% fails. Too many fails they get a "please explain". Too few fails, ditto.

Averaged out it's probably fair enough, consistency and what not. Just a bit of a bugger if you're a candidate late in the month and all the other candidates that month have been exceptionally good.
