Skills Test - Can the Examiner just refuse to do the test?
Can an examiner just refuse to give a skills test if they want to?
I know most of the criteria are simple pass/fail with no judgement involved: do the turn signals work, do the hazards work, do the brakes work, with very little room for judgement calls. I think there's also usually a general "Car must be safe and clean" condition, which gives a little leeway for judgement calls. But, can the examiner just look at the person and Nope Out? Or, do you get an Uber budget so you can get out of the car halfway through the test and get back to the DMV?
I know a person who now, as an adult, has to retake the knowledge and skills test to get her license back, as an adult. She's failed the knowledge test three times in three days so far. She is ... spacey, lets say, to be kind. Distracted. Carries on conversations with people who may or may not be there. A friend and I were discussing this and we can't imagine that an examiner just can't Nope Out in a situation like this, but, also, there's got to be a reason to check on the form, right? Do you all have an incredibly complex instruction to ask, before the car goes in to drive, so you can check the Didn't Follow Instruction auto-fail box on the form?
You can't just be required to ride in a car as an examiner with anyone who has passed the knowledge test, can you?
