Test Officer crashed...

[Okey Dokey]

hmmmm...the fact that you went ahead and copmpleted the test indicates that you agreed that it was okay to do so...you wouldn't complain now, if you had passed, that the testing officer may have been impaired...I don't think you have much chance with an appeal.

my 2 cents

[boomer]

in all honesty, there are already too many IDIOTs on the road. The pass criteria is FAR too low hence the state of the roads in NZ. Its not the roads or the speed its the idiots without a clue ON teh roads unable to cope.

Adding someone else to this list only makes matters worst.


IF you had been any good you'd have passed.. the test is already noddy level.. you failed...

Now go learn how to ride/drive then take the test again !

The fact the tester crashed is irrelevant, if you'd been any good you'd have passed.. no questions asked.

Thank you very much for this polite answer. I'm feeling really bad being a complete idiot riding a bike for more than 10 years now in Germany... with all the other idiots on the street there...

well prove to yourself and the testing officer your not a stereotypical bad driver.

We all know you germans are typically quite pedantic.. so you must be the exception to the rule?

[ZK-Awesome]

This reminds me a bit of my bike restricted test about 8 months ago. The tester got pulled by a cop for not stopping at a stop sign The difference between you story and mine is that I passed (though it's pretty had to **** it up when riding an A100)

Sorry, I think that's a bit too much now. I'm asking for advise how to handle stuff in NZ being a foreigner confronted with an unusual situation, not getting informed what kind of people germans are. What a nerve!

[boomer]

Think about it...


IF YOU HAD DONE EVERYTHING ABOVE STANDARD/AVERAGE...


WOULD WE BE HAVING THIS DISCUSSION?



And don't tell me i'm wrong.. we won 2 WORLD wars !

Bah, just take the test again asap...not worth the hassel complaining and going through with the appeal. youre really soon, just not going to get this done in a week...its like $80 isnt it?, consider the free test a privilege..not a grant. Oh btw, about the Germans being pedantic thing...umm, let me be the first one to Welcome you to KB

I can't believe what I'm reading... Please do me a favour and do not participate in any further discussion going on in this threat.

After driving in Germany, I'd have to agree with you
Nachdem ich in Deutschland angetrieben hatte, würde ich mit Ihnen einverstanden sein müssen

ok, but i'll continue in the thread if thats ok?!


Seriously... if you'd been above average you wouldn't have failed. As it happens you were at best average and at worst 'should be walking ' material.

Don;t moan about it.. he may have saved yours and someone elses lives by keeping you of the road for a bit longer


The test here in NZ is ridiculously fookin easy! nothing like what you would expect in Europe ( hence you dont want to do it there.. that and teh $$$ )

p.s.


Two Nil... two nil.. two nil...!!!!

two Nil.....









TWO NIL !!

I would, but as the AA told me I've been granted a one time exemption, because I'm holding a german licence for more than 10 years now and that's the reason why Landtransport assumes I should know how to ride and would only need one try. In 10 days I have to go back to Germany (after working 6 months here)... I'm running out of time, and thinking of the whole Test situation makes me just wanna throw-up. Furthermore I paied almost $300 - as it seems - for nothing.

Some of you may ask themselves why I don't get a full licence in Germany... The answer is simple. It's f #%'* expensive - about €1000, thats more than 2000 NZD.

Hehe, yea I'm with you there man. Every lesson i did for my full license for a bike did cost me 560kronor (that's for 2hours driving) then the theory test and the practical test bla bla. My license did cost me 12 000 Swedish crown. That's about 2500dollars!!

[nothingflash]

I would love to have another test - but - I have a one time exemption. I just want to figure out if I have a reason to call landtransport and tell them that I want a new exemption asap because I think the test should not have happened under those circumstances. Maybe it was fault because I didn't insist to get a new officer after the crash happened.

Sorry dude - it's your word against his. I agree with the general theme - forget about it an move on.

[Okey Dokey]

hmmm..me again...while I still don't think your appeal would have a chance, I do recall something from sitting my full test that you may not have been aware of...

I had heard that it was important to physically turn my head, almost in an exaggerated manner, at intersections, etc. This was so the testing officer knew I was looking around. A motorcyclists normally scans by moving eyes, not the whole head. Perhaps this was a pitfall for you?

Also, a lot of newer riders hesitate and possibly wait for an empty road before uturning, whereas perhaps you just saw a gap- knew you had time- and did it.

Trying to be understanding here, you've caught a bit of flak, but I think you'll just have to accept that you failed. Better luck in Germany!
