    My wife is having some trouble passing the class 5 drivers test over the last 12 months. Her first attempt, a guy initialed M.E. was the tester. The guy looks like a walking upright pig. Anyway, she bumped a pole during parallel parking, which is an automatic fail. I built her some 2"x2" uprights so she could properly practice parallel parking.

    Test #2 occured with a guy initialed B.B. He claims that she entered an intersection on amber. This is an automatic failure.

    Months later, Test #3 occured with B.B. He again reports that she entered an intersection on amber, resulting in automatic failure.

    Yesterday, Test #4 occured with B.B. He claims that she entered an intersection on amber, resulting in automatic failure. He claims this just as the test is ending (she would have passed).

    She doesn't enter on amber, I drive with her enough to know. I have all of the test scoresheets.

    I feel like going down there today and cutting this ignorant SOB out; you know, embarass him, play as dirty as he is, maybe pull that racial card so that he's flagged. Bottom line is that we are without privatized insurance companies in this f'in province, so nothing can really be done. Its a crown corporation crock of chit.

    eeesshhhh I pay ~$1000/yr for full coverage on GP and homeowners. And the only reason I still have full coverage is, even though it's state law to have vehicle insurance, I'm almost positive that the majority of the cars I drive by don't have any.

    Also sounds like the instructor is the problem! Try to find out when this person isn't doing the testing? Unless there aren't any other testers?
    Its just a car.......with rust and dreams for the future!!!!

    I pay $1300 a year for commercial coverage with collision on my 05 Sierra. I have $5,000,000 liability and am rated for artisan use with a $1000 deductible ( because I will never use insurance ever to simply repair the truck). When the truck was under my personal with my multi policy discounts and whatnot all in I paid $500 a year with similar coverage minus the artisan use and only $2,000,000 liabilty. Base rate was around $800 but the the discounts ate up $300 of that. These rates are all privatized insurance btw, as Alberta has no government system.

    Government insurance is no real screaming anything unless you are a young driver. I guess or if you have a terrible record. If you pay $500 a month you are probably lucky to even still have a drivers license.......Yes I am Canadian too.

    The fact that "B.B" has failed her 3 times for the exact same infraction should easily raise some eyebrows at the office if you make a production of it.

    Go for it!

    Irridium spark plugs last 100k mi and work just as well as copper. Copper is a waste on N/A and only lasts 15k mi. Don't use Platinum.
    Use 195* tstat unless you can thoroughly explain why not; 99.9% don't need a lower temp.
    Almost any oil filter, ever, is of higher quality than ACDelco. Spend $6+.
