Wheel Nut:
Now a question for the examiners and instructors…Why, when someone has passed their test do they not let them drive the thing home?
Hi Malc,
It was explained to me as follows:
There are only two outcomes to a completed driving test, so it’s either a pass, or a fail.
Either way up, the candidate is on an emotional ‘high’ or an emotional ‘low,’ depending on the result.
Anybody with that amount of either emotional feeling doesn’t make a good driver, because they’re either euphoric, or vengeful.
I don’t know of any LGV training school that allows candidates to drive back to base after test, and it mattered not whether they passed or failed.
