Who Takes The Blame? Are Examiners the Prime cause of failing the Driving Test?

Have been doing quite a bit of Web research today looking at Forum Posts and other Driving School Web Sites.

Stumbling across an interesting post on Driving Tests which spawned 70 odd pages of comments was rather interesting. While this was an English thread, it is very similar to Irish Forum comments on this subject.

There were a huge number of comments that completely denigrated the Driving Examiners with disgusting language and a complete disregard for the fact that Passing or Failing a Driving Test rests solely with the Candidates themselves. Why not own up to the fact that to Pass a Driving Test, whether in Ireland or The United Kingdom, requires hard work, dedication, lots of practise, and Learning to Drive correctly in the first place!
Tootling down the road with a boyfriend or girlfriend or Mum or Dad just won’t cut it in today’s Driving Environment.
Buying a Car first and then taking an odd lesson months later, is not only asking for trouble in the form of accidents but is taking the Learner further and further away from reaching a satisfactory standard and by definition will usually lead to failure on the Driving Test. The sooner the mandatory minimum Driving Lessons are introduced before being allowed to sit the Driving Test the better it will be for all Drivers, Learners and Mature Motorists.

We have spent quite a lot of hours over the last three months with articles published on the Web and our blogs, in an attempt to help, assist and point in the right direction all those Learner Drivers getting ready for their Driving Tests. We still have some way to go with a wealth of, as yet, unpublished material and will continue to provide this resource for those who would like to do better in their Driving and their Driving Tests.

Incidentally do we really have to go on putting up with the drivel that is displayed in many Irish blog posts which contain more crap than content and spelling that makes you want to weep. I would venture to suggest that bloggers should utilise a spell check and curb the use of Anglo Saxon verbiage. For my part, I wouldn’t bother looking at someone’s blog that contained “ * * CK this and * * *KING ” that in the Title or elsewhere, since they are obviously a Baguette short of a Picnic!

The Driving Test is only for * & % * ERS………..till next time.
