·Okay,
I did my driver test today. Clean run. Except he failed my for going too slow. First time he warned me, I was driving right beside a school. He gave me a few other warnings too. After the test he tells me how slow I was driving. Points out how slow I was going along Deer Lake Parkway, how there's a whole line of cars behind me. Okay, at this point I'm watching my speedometer more than I'm looking at the bloody road. Speedo is going between 45 and 50. Blah. I'm suprised he didn't take me down south west marine drive and tell me I was holding up traffic there too. Then there's the highway...
After the test he tells me I was going as low as 75 on the highway, and everyone was passing me. No shit. People on the #1 were going faster than 90km/hr? wow, someone tell the cops. So I figure maybe my speedo is out a bit, I'll check it tomorrow. Was I going 75 though? No f**ing way. On the test results, he writes that I was going too slow @ 40km/hr. Let's see, it's pissing down rain, I'm doing a driver test, and he dings me 8 times because I'm going 40 (by his speedo)?
Anyways, I'm thinking about talking with the manager at the driver test centre, show him the report and ask him if driving 40 km/hr on a rainy day is so bad (and I'm not even convinced I was going that slow). To boot, twice the examiner gave me late instructions where I had to cross a single white line, which is a road violation. If I was going the "speed limit" I would have gotten into a bloody accident.
There's my rant for the day :mad :mad
Oh, who am I kidding? The manager will ask the examiner to come in, he'll say I'm a lousy driver, and nothing will change. I might as well write another cheque to icbc for $50 and save the embarrassment of being called a shitty driver.
