Well, it didn’t take long for them to sort that out. Scottish courts, eh?<\/p>\n
I noted a couple of days ago that a driving examiner was suing a pupil<\/a> for an injury he claimed he sustained during her driving test. And he has won ( BBC News story here<\/a>).<\/p>\n I noticed that a lot of instructors are up in arms over the case, with calls to boycott the test centre the examiner works at. It is clear that\u00a0they don’t realise this case was between the examiner<\/em><\/strong> and the pupil’s insurance company (not the DSA<\/em><\/strong> and the insurance co.)<\/p>\n Personally, I can’t get worked up over it. The pupil was clearly a danger on the road that day – it is more worrying that some pupils of this standard actually pass<\/em><\/strong> their tests, and then the rest of us are pitted against them every day as they suddenly decide they’re better than everyone else by virtue of age and ‘chaviness’, and work tirelessly towards removing themselves from the gene pool at the earliest opportunity.<\/p>\n In any case, the examiner hasn’t been awarded damages yet. He’s claiming \u00a315,000 but he could actually get nothing (though I think he’ll at least get something<\/em>)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Well, it didn’t take long for them to sort that out.
