No, i 100% agree with you.
The first time, I shouldn't have failed, I stalled it, put the handbrake on. Car was completely safe.

The second time, I went 2mph over the limit, I can accept that. My fault but what the examiners didn't need to do was to put me on edge and to be rude to me.

Just to be devil's advocate here for a minute...
Driving for the rest of your life will offer its fair share of challenges. Your moods will differ, there'll be other people in the car, kids, shouting, satnavs, phones, distractions, whatever.

If the examiners decide to put lots of pressure on you, does that not mean a better quality of driver passes in the end?

Heh, I know where you're coming from dude.
I've failed, I've got to accept it, of course.
I still don't think that the examiner should make you feel like shit though. I'm being tested on my ability, not how well I perform under stress, there are advanced courses for that ;)

My point is, you'll definitely have more stress in your future driving life than one shitty examiner.
Anyway, I'm off to bed with a laptop and Hellboy 2 - good luck with that next test :)
