Haha!
Im not too phased... turns out I was unfairly failed today...
He failed me on the basis that the car was skew in the parking bay... well he is wrong. it doesn't matter if the car is skew. as long as it is in the demarcated area then its fine and I was in the demarcated area... just wish I had thought of that when he failed me.
I also had a chat to my instructor who has told me that **** the guy who tested me (who is of a darker complexion) often fails whiter skinned students and always passes darker skinned students who accordin to my instructor required a miracle to pass. Im rather disgusted that this still occurs in this country.
So I took a drive to Gordons bay and book for the 14th August. not too far away. I also discussed the issue of the bakkie not fitting and the head officer allowed me to look at the parallel parking section which unlike Ottery is set up how my instructor sets it up.
The people at Gordons bay are extremely helpful. the building is clean. and unlike ottery where the testers wear tracksuit pants and a shirt the testers at gordons bay wear proper uniform and look decent.
Im in two minds as to whether I will do my retest in the Corsa or hire a smaller car. will stick to the corsa I reckon.
As you guys can imagine im rather pissed off at being fobbed off like a fool.
