"eco safe"?

using low revs, lower gears, just not flooring the car. Which is impossible in a 1.0 if you want to get up to speed safely.

Did you fail for that!?

that's crazy when you see the state of some drivers....like this morning driving through Cambridge....both were women too....

Yep Rock, and for doing the emergency stop in-between two cars.

Wasn't an EcoBoost was it? They have a bit of poke for a 1.0L

EcoTec. Gotta rev it real good to get going.

My parents used to have a Zafira EcoTec. Hated it.

I'm sry, I have already filled my quota of passes today so I will have to fail you for bullshit reasons. Have a nice day sir.

Pretty sure that would only be a minor as it's not dangerous driving? Also, was it a planned emergency stop? The examiner sounds dodgy and you should talk to the DVLA about it

He justified it by saying that a vehicle could've hit me because I wasn't getting up to speed quick enough, my car takes around 11 seconds to get to 60, no cars around when I pulled out so that confused me. It was planned, he let his hand out, I stopped and did the checks. He explained why I failed, he said and I quote "A car coming from infront of you wouldn't have expected you to stop inbetween two cars" which is exactly where he told me to stop. I'll take this exper...

experience with a grain of salt and try again, if I get marked down for more silly reasons then phone calls will be made.*

I know how you feel, my second test I was 150m from returning to the test centre on a one way street and got charged at by an ambulance going the wrong way up it with Blues and Two's, I mounted the kerb to let him past as I had a car behind me - Instant fail. despite up until that point having *1* minor. No leeway given at all, i'd even made sure there were no pedestrians nearby

but apparently me making way for an ambulance is no excuse. My examiner that time was a complete ice queen though

Wow, sounds like a right arsehole. You made sure that nothing was coming before you pulled out, and were forced to stop. None of that was your fault. I'd be straight on to the DVLA
