Test Centre: Upton
Reason for fail: Turn in Road - Observation
Kathryn was asked to do a turn in the road. She got ready, checked it was clear around her and moved slowly across the road. She stopped, and put her handbrake on, then prepared herself, and made sure it was clear around her. As she reversed slowly back, she saw an old man walking along the pavement. Alert to the possibility that might walk out into the road, she kept still and waited until he had gone past and then continued to reverse, before putting her handbrake on, getting ready, checking around and completing the manouevre.
Huh? She got a serious fault for that? Why?
She had been sat still for quite a long time in the middle of the road, and didn't look both ways before continuing. If a cyclist had been coming or something she might have hit them. The examiner had no option but to give her a serious fault. If she'd looked around after waiting for the pedestrian, or if she hadn't waited for him in the first place, she wouldn't have got the fault. her kindness turned around and bit her on the ass.
