Good morning everyone
Can anyone tell me if hearing ability is part of the assessment test please.
My husband had his test a few weeks ago and part of the cognitive testing before the actual driving test was that the woman stood in front of him ‘ clicking ‘ her fingers, by the side of his head and asking my husband to just look straight ahead and point when he was aware if she was ‘ clicking’ her fingers left, right or together. He seemed confused/ anxious so she stood behind him and the driving assessor sat in front of him, asking him to look at her and the test was repeated. At the end of the total assessment he was told he’d failed. Since then he is angry ( it’s a fix, the test is rubbish, they don’t know what they are doing etc.,) and is going to write a letter complaining. We are waiting for their report to be posted to us. I got the impression that it wasn’t his hearing they were testing but maybe spacial awareness……but what do I know. Husband so angry, home life is very tense at the moment!
