6th July 2023 I recently had a full driving test with an unprofessional testing officer Rajendra S, and I must talk about my disappointment regarding the entire situation today so this doesn't happen to someone else. I strongly believe that I was unfairly failed due to an inaccurate assessment of my speed, which was wrongly deemed to exceed the designated limit. Despite maintaining my speed within the specified limit of 50 km/h, Rajendra S. insisted it was 63 km/h, even going so far as to lean over me and obstructing my view to check the speed limit gauge. However, the truth was that I was under the speed of 60 km/h as both my dad, (who was present during the test and sitting behind me), and I saw that my speed was clearly at 53 km/h and this potentially got influenced by his dark sunglasses on a cloudy day. This incident has happened with me in the past with the same testing officer with his previous unjustified failure on my restricted driving test which indicates a biased evaluation as he knew my dad from the past which for no reason, he mentioned after the test. Numerous reviews on VTNZ Highbrook mention similar experiences with testing officer Rajendra S. I urge VTNZ and/or NZTA to conduct a thorough investigation into this matter and ensure fair assessments for all and take appropriate action against him.
