    Arguably, a mistake was made and someone chose to get upset.

    Life goes on for all, pretty minor shit.
    Minor yes, but I thought it was a pretty shitty thing to do. A Motorcycle Instructor posting the verbal reaction from some who failed a test by 1 point to see what others may think of that comment.. ''you may have saved his life'' being one meaning he would probably be a twat on the road, the people posting didn't know the circumstances but were happy to slate the guy.

    I employed an idiot once that failed his warrant of fitness inspectors exam four times.
    His name was Ken, we called him Bro Ken.

    Perhaps it's time to drop the one-sided narrative then?

    Very poor indeed. I suspect that the tutor did not expect their comments to get back to the target, however they should now correct their mistake by withdrawing the remark.

    Great for business aye!

    25 points and he would have been. You're allowed 25 fails and still pass. That staggers me... not having both feet on the ground at a red light is classed as a fail so some the fails are minor. Do you actually think before sharing your thoughts?

    I did that on my first full test way back when. Failed to stop at stop sign but it was on a rise. I thought the guy was just an a hole found out 15 years later when redid the test is an instafail.

    That makes it ok then, Instructor has a KB profile also I wonder why he didn't post it on here? Perhaps because it was unprofessional and he rely's somewhat on new business from this site? not a good look if you're going to post conversations (or parts thereof) with your students.

    Can you answer why it has been deleted from his FB profile then?
