    The humour apparently was that the leaner thought he had missed by 1 not 26. The flaming of his character that followed was child like.
    For a professional person to post something like in my opinion is not the done thing.


    You really should read what I have said in total not partially and then you may understand a bit better.
    but was the flaming done by the person you are so aggrieved with? Perhaps the post on FB was deleted because the person posting it saw that flaming was taking place, it was not their intention to make light of the situation and thought it best to kill the thing dead.
    Must say Maha, you never struck me as a Shylock until now. The posting is gone and you probably won't see its like again from that person, time to move on perhaps?

    Failed by 1....Surely you are taking the piss?

    Being allowed to be on the road after failing by 25 is a disgrace to the system

    failing by 26 is a disgrace to the person who failed .

    If that person thinks he only failed by 1 means he has got very fuckin low standards, and no intention of trying to be the best he could and should be.


    Fwiw....when i sponsored and coached my children through their licencing i did not accept 1 single fail.
    If they could not take driving/riding serious enough to get it right, i sure as hell couldn't take it serious enough to sponsor.

    The person who failed should stop worrying about his tutor taking the piss
    He be better of taking a bloody good look at himself.....

    hey, he was upset alright, not thinking straight (pun intended).
    You'd have to forgive a man his grammer, facing such trauma as being made fun of on the internets.



    (you'd think the fucken cockrash would be used to it by now. But no.
    Which makes it all the more patheticly sad. And laughable.)

    Having read the original post by the tutor in question, all I can say is that there was nothing wrong with it. The individuals' name wasn't mentioned, and the focus was on the person perceiving they failed by 1, when in fact the fault count was 26 when only 25 are permitted. Geez you gotta draw the line somewhere.

    Would be the same if someone topped 100 demerits for rolling thru a stop sign, and these points were the ones to lose the licence on. Be like saying loss of licence for rolling a stop sign?

    One could almost infer the OP has an axe to grind with the tutor in question...

    Like others that have posted here, your assumption of why I posted this is 100% wrong. If I had an axe to grind or what ever, surely I would have used his name?

    I know who he is but I don't know the guy, Instructor told him that he had not passed and he replied '' so I only failed by 1 then''? This was posted on FB and the comments that followed were all about the students so called interpretation of his fail..ie: ''You may have saved his life'' was one '' Glad he is not on the road with the rest of us'' was another, there were more. I just thought that it was unprofessional of the Instructor (given his position) to post it in the first place. He did actually only failed by one point but that somehow turned him into someone who shouldn't be on the road.

    No he failed by 26 points,
    he failed to pass the abysmally low treshold of 25 fails.
    he failed the attitude test by commenting on the fact that he only had one fail to many to pass.....
    If he can't even manage enough motivation to pass an almost idiot proof "test" he should definitely not be on our roads.
    The instructor showed great restraint not to take the piss at a level worthy of this dweep.

    He was one point under the pass threshold, so Mibbee it is failing by one. But that one is of no more significance than the other twenty five. What is a perfect score? Because twenty five wwrong is a fucken hell of a lot.

    I stand corrected, yes he failed by a total of 26 points.

    So it's perspective. Which was the point of the post.

    Some would say you only failed by one. Others would say you made 26 mistakes.

    A matter of perspective...

    The whole 25-26 point thing was NOT the reason I started this thread, why is that so difficult to understand? It was the reason the Instructor started his thread.

    You know him personally, was the post on FB removed because of the comments that followed? or did he realised it may not have been his best move to date? must have been one or the other.

    Fuck me, this seems to be a pile of bile about what amounts to fuck all.
    First world problem & fuck all of one to boot.
    Someone fails a test, someone takes the piss with no names, someone else figures out who is being referred to & takes it international.
    For fucks sake, where is the problem? Lack of having a life?

    We've officially reached the low point of the thread... I'm quoting Akzle because he's right...

    Free to good (or not so good) home. One severely flogged horse with little to no life left in it.
    I apologise for wasting everyone's time.

    EDITED: to reflect what I really meant.
