I don’t know what they’re like now, but the guy who gave me my road test many, many years ago was infamous in three counties for being a stickler. I knew/know people he flunked multiple times.
But what’s our definition of stickler? In Europe if you break 10 and 2 that’s an automatic fail. Driving tests there run over an hour, all kinds of maneuvers and road situations. Most places here it’s basically around the block.
I flunked my first one. Ran a stop sign executing a Perfect Left Turn (I saw the guy write something after my prior l. turn so I wanted this one to be 100%)
And yeah he was sarcastic about it. Pull over here
Look out back
See that sign there?
What does that sign say?
And turning 16 later than my schoolmates, I was sooooo embarrassed! My Dad had made me late enough as it was
