Post new topic

Hi all,

Yesterday i had my Driving test, the inspector was so rude from the start once he entered inside the vehicle, and i really dont know what was wrong with him he simply failed me with the reason i have no wheel control and i dont focus, that was worst
i have been driving more than 10 years even i took full 22 hours and he simply said i dont focus, does anyone have been through such experience, also now i have already book my next date but i want to change the instructor is it possible.

Yes few of us definitely have been through it, you cannot help it dont loose hope keep trying. Yes you can change your instructor by visiting the driving school, take your book along and ask for the process.

The inspector did the same to me. He saying out of control.I drive all the vehicles an equipments including heavy and trailor also. The inpector is very bad in traffic. He saying out of control. Actually his vehicle has alignment problem. If we keep steering straight, the vehie sudden go left. I am working i n the vehicle field as mechanical engineer. I have vehicle maintenance experience more than 5 years. The vehicle was problem. He failed me on the out of control problem said. I dont know why they doing like this.

my advice to those who are experienced driver not to be over-confident during the test drive. my friend who has a 10 years driving experience from our home country has failed 4-times here during the drive test. Another friend who does not have driving experience got his license on first attempt.

Yes that's good advice.

The reason experienced drivers fail is because the test is not just about ability to drive but rather, how to drive safely by following all the rules.  For example, you MUST stop completely on a stop line and then move the car after looking left and right.  If you slow down but not stop (even if road is empty), you will be failed.  New drivers learn these rules from the beginning whereas more experienced drivers may never have followed them :).
