I slam the brakes on and think '****! that's done it!' anyway Examiner is muttering bloody idiot!
say nothing and carry on after the Van has reversed, get back to test centre and Examiner gives his verdict an when i've composed myself I say that i'd thought i'd failed, he asked why so I said about hitting the kerb on my turn in road, he says you touched it not hit it there's a difference... fair enough, then I say about the Arctic! he said "no you did everything i'd of expected you to do, you took priority then you saw a hazard and reacted to that hazard. it was a tricky situation and you dealt with it well" then he added... I was calling the Van Man a bloody idiot not you
ahhhh I say! coool!
Heh, yeah, hitting the brakes because of someone else's stupidity isn't your fault
It shows you can react well, etc instead of just keep going with your eyes closed
Well done though
