Test Officer crashed...

[avgas]

I believe this is the case where 2 wrongs don't make a right.
The tester should not have crashed.
You should not have failed.
Because the tester crashed, and you failed, this does not make you pass.
Germans like logic. That is why i like dealing with them - they make sense.

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!

mmmmhh... to be honest - thats what my mates from germany said when I told them the story... probably you're right. I'm gonna try to ask for another exemption to repeat the test and hope that the landtransport is going to permit it.

When you do apply again for the exemption, explain all the circumstances to them of the first test. This may help your case.

Personally, I think you may have been hard done by, but, really, who on here knows since none of us (that I know of) have seen you riding on the failed test.

All the best with whatever you do....

Shit, you guys are giving this guy a hard time. I reckon the testing officer was pissed off and failed him to take out is frustration. Reasonable assumption don't you think?

And I hear drivers/riders in Germany are leagues ahead in skill than here in NZ... given he hasn't got a German lisence this may not be a valid arguement. BUt come on, 10 years of riding is adequate to judge speed of other traffic while performing a U-turn...

He can't just "take the test again" because he was given a one time exemption... if you had bothered to read that part. This might also contribute to the fact as to why he decided to continue with the test as he didn't have long left in NZ and may not get to do the resit!


I'd definitely write in and make a formal complaint. Explain your situation and also mention the guy crashed (don't know whether it was his fault or not, but given he didn't tell his employer I'd assume he was in the wrong).
