Sir, – Further to recent correspondence (Letters, August 16th), as someone who worked for many years in driving instruction, I’m familiar with the array of complaints around grumpy testers, failure quotas, etc, that do the rounds.
I noted consistently that the only people that had such complaints were those who had failed their test, looking to rationalise that failure as being someone else’s fault.– Yours, etc,
JOHN BARKER,
Killester,

Sir, – Whatever about the rights and wrongs of the driving test, I can only say that I’m glad I never had to learn in today’s driving environment. – Yours, etc,
