The examiner didn't look at all pleased. (The steam coming out of his ears and the heavy scowl were a dead give away.)

There has been a real push over many years to make obtaining a license tougher. The hope is that people will stop seeing a drivers license as a 'right' and to see it more as a priviledge. As a result, those guys look for any reason to fail young wannabe drivers.

I know that once people have licenses they cease to care about us cyclists, but they have to get their license first.
