And how would the tester know from the left hand seat whether you were 1 or 2 km over the limit without climbing into your lap to see the speedometer properly? |

I mean consisently - go downhill and watch it creep a bit, or uphill and drop. Unless you have your eyes glued to the speedo, in which case you'll be busy killing everyone you hit at exactly 50. I think you just got a picky tester, or he/she didn't like you. Thats ridiculous. |

| 517448 | 2007-01-19 07:07:00 | It's fairly easy, maintain your speed at 5 km/h under the speed limit. Then if you accidentally go too fast, you only end up at 48 km/h, rather than 53, and failing. | roddy_boy (4115) | ||
| 517449 | 2007-01-19 07:27:00 | Then they fail you for going too slow. You can't win. :rolleyes: | FoxyMX (5) | ||
| 517450 | 2007-01-19 07:45:00 | No, only if you're actually going too slow. What I was saying is you shouldn't try to sit exactly on the speed limit, because inevitably you will accidentally go over. | roddy_boy (4115) | ||
| 517451 | 2007-01-19 08:16:00 | lol fale. I don't understand why people would speed when they're sitting a test. Or cut corners. If you break any road rules at all when sitting your test, you fully deserve to fail. Re Roddy's signature..... What sort of telecommunications did the Maori of long ago use, before the Europeans got here????? PJ |

| 517452 | 2007-01-19 08:41:00 | As you have found out it is the little things that they pick up. Have you visited here (www.practice.co.nz) - might be some useful tips you can start applying to your driving now before next time. Good luck. | sam m (517) | ||
| 517453 | 2007-01-19 14:48:00 | What make/model of car did you use? And was it manual or auto? | Greg (193) | ||
| 517454 | 2007-01-19 20:15:00 | What make/model of car did you use? And was it manual or auto? It doesn't matter what sort of car you drive. You either have it or you don't. :D |
