I have had two tests. One of my testers was a lovely man who did a bit to put me at ease and gave me great advice on what to work on when I failed. The other was so miserable it seemed like at any moment he would grab the wheel and steer us both into a brick wall. Both from the same test center.

The people who rocked up unaccompanied for their test should be immediately turned away, crazy carry on

Then I did my test it threw me off so much how fucking weird the tester was.

Sounds strange on paper, but to be fair – I’d say that an *unusual* amount of testers *are* outright weirdos.

Someone could start a business delivering rent-a-cars to the centre, or drive your car there for you.
No need to show an accompanied driver.

My second test the tester spoke very much in whispers. I had to ask multiple times “this turn?”, which in most cases got a reply too late that I passed the turns. Failed obviously.
Complained to RSA and they talked to the tester and the testers reply was “he failed to obey instructions”. Then went onto say that the testers are in full control and what they observe and instruct is on them.
There was no way to prove they were at fault.
Some testers are good sends and super nice. Others would rather be somewhere else and it’s very clear.

The driving tester complained that the tint was too dark on my mother’s car and got out to inspect it. There was no tint. I knew before he got back into the car that he just wanted to find a reason to fail me.
Lo and behold, I got an immediate red mark pulling out of the test center because I supposedly didn’t pay enough attention to a cyclist on the footpath on the other side of the T-junction. Gorey, if you want to see the layout of the junction.
