    Agreed. The whole scenario sounds a little bizarre.

    If it's correct, there's certainly grounds to complain. But go in with an open mind, as there may be more to the story...

    Who was the examiner? And where did he do the test? I have a couple of contacts in the Wellington region with the testing officers. I would hazard a guess that it was M*** H****** .... He's a complete tosser.

    Well, there is one - but he's actually quite a good guy. He took me for my full. Only gently scolded me when I rode off without him. The same colour wagon as his was following me and I thought it was all good til said wagon turned off and went in another direction...

    I was going to say the same thing.

    Everybody is sooooo keen to jump on the its the cops / testers / cagedrivers / otherguys fault - that they often forget that there is two sides to the story.

    Complaint to higher level!!

    *Many* moons ago when I sat the test in the cage...
    T junction with blind corner to the right. Checked clear both ways and procceded RH turn. Car came around the blind right.
    Since I was 1/2 way across - I kept going!!!
    "Fail".
    "Why?"
    "You should have stopped!"
    "And been a stationary target in the middle of an intersection?"
    This was back in the days when were the testers!

    Like they say in US, some people work for DMV because they lack the IQ required to work as a greeter at Wal Mart.
    "People are stupid ... almost anyone will believe almost anything. Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true. People's heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true ... they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so all are easier to fool." -- Wizard's First Rule

    shrug.
    The son was not stressed at all about taking the test. He is a very good driver.

    Here is the scenario:

    My son's view....

    He was approaching a cross road where he was coming up to a give way sign.
    He was going straight across. From the right there was a truck that 'in his opinion' (approaching a stop sign) did not give any indication that it was going to slow and stop. He made the safety call and stopped to ensure he did not get involved in an accident. The truck did not stop and went straight across the intersection.

    Examiners view...

    I have been driving 85 years, I am not in a test situation. I have balls of steel. It doesn't matter to me if the truck hits us on the driver side because I'm sitting in the passenger seat. This young kid needs to be taught a lesson because I need to generate more revenue..

    So answer this... Given that we get the 'take care at junctions' rammed down our throats. Explain to me what he did wrong. - Answer - nothing.
    He used due care and attention to ensure his and others safety.

    You need to write a letter to Dave Brown of NZ Driver Licensing. You should be able to get their details from LTSA or any AA branch. Copy and forward the letter to LTSA as well. If it's the officer I'm thinking of (and it probably is) then nail his arse to the wall!
