What a great way to wind a trainee up before a test… tell them that one particular examiner is [ZB]
There is enough pressure without this sort of thing
to be fair it was the other trainer with the other trainee who was going on about it but yes that just really shattered my nerves and my test drive was not what i expected from myself and could not believe i passed when he told me i had as i felt really dissapointed with myself as i was pulling into the yard but saying that it was probably better than i realised as i was trying for perfection after my warm up speach from the trainer who was really chuffed his lad had got the other examiner. i passed he didnt. when i went for my 1st cpc i failed with the other examiner the other lad had on his test but passed when i had morris. . i find the way he conducts the test are fairer and more in keeping with what id expect from an examiner. his words to me were he was their to help people pass but all they need to show is they are comnpetent and safe whilst in control of the truck at all times and aware of the safety for other road users.
