Apparently the testing person is not very bright
you can use your rear view camera on road tests now. they just approved it
I was watching behind me, switching between looking over both my shoulders AND using the backup camera on my test yesterday, and when he told me to pull away from the curb i checked the mirror but didn't look over my left shoulder because i had been while parallel parking, and I was failed for that :|
You should always look over your shoulder, you definitely deserved to fail for this. The 4 seconds it took you to shift to drive and turn your steering wheel are enough for a cyclist or a car to move from somewhere, where you couldn't see them before, to the side of your car, where you would hit them.
Except the last part of parallel parking is pulling forward? So they was already in drive while they were looking.
You failed for looking at a non-existent rear view camera! Get a camera installed, and use it next time.

What? 'I'm sorry, you've failed because you looked at the camera.' 'I don't have a camera' 'Don't care, still failed' 'Okay' Like surely this is an absolutely obvious thing to contest? I find it hard to believe you just shrugged it off and walked away.
