Any critisisms or improvements greatly recieved 
Or info on MYTHS about examiners only being ‘allowed’ to pass so many
I have sent you a PM (Private Message) - top of this page
Thought… an idea…
If you have the time and the inclination, it might be interesting to know what a typical day is for a LGV examiner - what they look for, their thoughts whilst examining, funny or dangerous moments, pressures, if any, from the DSA, that sort of thing… 
ROG:
any more

As if I would…
… how many times has that post been editted…
Rog,
Bredbury is closing.
There is a lot of myths about examiners but there is a lot of pressure from the DSA and pass rates are closely monitored and between the senior and the supervising examiner there is a minimum of 12 check tests a year so the DSA can keep an eye on standards. I can’t speak for all examiners but I know from my time that you always have to be on the ball, be very professional but at the same time try and understand that it is a very nervous time for a candidate and you can be the key to easing those test day nerves!!

There has been a lot said on this forum to the effect that - examiners cannot pass everyone because they have ‘fail’ targets to meet - would you agree that is true or an absolute silly urban myth
Rog,
That is a myth, there is no such thing as fail targets quite the opposite. It was always nice to have a pass It was never nice to tell people that they had failed, a lot of people have a job riding on it. Sometimes it’s frustrating when you can see that the person is a good driver but their nerves get the better of them which is why it’s so important as an examiner to try and put the candidate at ease.
