In the woman's first driving test, in July 2023, the assessor noted she breached the road rules multiple times including by continuously driving in a bike lane, failing to give way, braking to a near stop in a 70km/h zone and obstructing other vehicles and driving at 38km/h in a 60 km/h zone.

The decision noted the assessor had intervened when the woman started to turn in front of approaching vehicles without sufficient time or distance, and when she failed to give way as she moved off from a kerb.

She still thought she was hard done by and appealed?

People that old don't even understand their environment, or what's going on around them. To her, I'm sure she led a perfectly respectable driving test, and is unsure why she's being denied.

Must be the doing of (insert group of people you hate here).

They should strap a gopro to your car during the driving test so they can review the footage if you're that bad.

My son went for his driver's licence a little over a year ago. The examiner recorded the test on an iPad and showed me snippets afterwards of things he had to work on for his next attempt.

That's really cool actually. Useable real works feed back. I'm lucky enough to have passed my first time but no way that asshole would have helped. He tried to ding me for tinted windows, the guy at their own shop called him out on that
