Driving examiner wanted to sue a learner driver for 'braking too quickly'
You simply could not make a story up like this.
While out on a practical driving test, the pupil, Ben Williams, was told to perform an emergency stop.
The stop was controlled and according to the pupils driving instructor sitting in the back seat, the manoeuvre was 'perfect'.
Keith Priestley, the driving examiner, went to a solicitor to make a claim.
However, the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) went in Ben's favour and even offered him a free re-test.
Priestley, dropped his case and was disciplined and does not work for the DVSA any more.
Honestly, the cheek of it!
