We have some real DMV dickheads here. A favorite trick is to stand next to the drivers window and tell the kid to move the car forward to the line, then flunk him for moving the car without an adult in it, in clear violation of the permit rules.
My F-I-L is a driving instructor in NYS. He regularly has to lecture the testers about their responsibilities. He finds thy are more interested in ways to quickly end the test and take a break between them than in actually evaluating the student’s skills.
He said one instructor was failing kids for not pulling into the intersection while waiting for a left turn. My F-I-L asks, “Do you know the difference between ‘must’ and ‘may?’ The manual says you *may* pull into the intersection. You can’t deduct points if the candidate doesn’t do that.” That’s just one example he has given. Then they try to give *him* lip. That’s never a wise move.
This was a computerized, objective, multiple choice test. She just didn’t know the answers!
Neither Anoreth nor Bill had any problem with the driving test.
