Their road test examiners make sure you fail...: I booked my Class 5 Advanced road test by calling in Registry at Marda Loop and it was smooth and quick. ‘Muhammad’ (#03749) was the examiner. About half way through the test, we were in a residential area. I saw 2 kids chasing each other right at the verge of the curb which obviously was a hazard so I stopped at the T intersection. After it's safe to proceed, he asked me ‘why did you stop, did you see the Stop sign on the side road?’ I said I did. Before I could say anything more about the 2 kids, he cut me off saying it wasn't my stop sign and I shouldn't have stopped. I tried to explain what happened but he insisted I misread the stop sign. When the full test hour was up, he told me I failed because I ‘obstructed traffic’. Then he said 'you can do the test again tomorrow. You wanna do it tomorrow?'. <br/><br/>On the test score sheet, he deducted 30 point for the situation above and 5 points for signalling late; the failing threshold is 75.<br/><br/>Among questions I don’t have answers for are:<br/><br/>1. ‘Proceeding’ is more important than kids’ safety?<br/>
2. How would it constitute ‘obstructing traffic’ if there was no car behind?<br/>
3. If I had ‘failed’ as he claimed, why didn’t he stop the test on the spot? There would have been no point of continuing;<br/>
4. Does a day make the whole difference between pass and fail (he asked me to re-take the test the next day)? The only difference I can see is I will pay him another $141 fee.<br/><br/>I went to this registry because of its ‘good’ online reviews and naively thought that would imply decent service standards. So I even shrugged off the fact my friend had another bad experience there last year because ‘he had a different examiner’. Who would have thought this registry is consistently plagued by rude, low/no class, money grabbing examiners (the clerk who made the reservation for me said ‘he’s the nicer one (of the 2)’.<br/><br/>Also a tip for other road test takers - book through <a href="http://www.albertadriverexaminer.ca" rel="nofollow">www.albertadriverexaminer.ca</a>; you get to choose a specific registry and schedule a time convenient to you, even cheaper $114 vs. $141 at Marda Loop.
