"On my first road test, the brownie was a jerk. We came up to the intersection and he told me to turn left and the light was green when I went but he said it turned yellow which is bullshit but even if it did should I have stopped in the middle of the intersection ?"
First off racial slurs won't help you pass.
Second, you forgot the other obvious choice - you can wait for the next green. It's not as if it's gone for good once it turns yellow.
It sounds like you're being very defensive about criticism. This is what's going to do you in the most during the tests. Drive a little slower, pay ATTENTION to what goes on around you, and don't let the instructor know when you're getting mad cos that won't help you.
That wasnt a "racial slur" the person who gives you your road test is called a brownie and the guy was white so don't be so quick to jump the gun. And I clearly stated that the light was green when I entered the intersection, if I saw it turn yellow then I would have waited for the next green light. The brownie ( I may not have spelled it right, but that is how its pronounced and definetly the correct term for anyone that gives road tests professionally) said the light turned yellow after I had entered the intersection. Stopping there and tying up traffic doesn't sound very safe or logical. I didn't argue with the brownie so I'm not sure where you got the idea that I " let him know I was getting mad" because I didnt say anything to the guy. BTW you sound offensiv, mad even. It is possible to give advice without being a dick about it. great advice too, I had no idea that lights keep on changing in the same order and I'm suppose to pay attention when driving. Way to state the obvious.
That's odd. I am from the USA. Everyone I know calls them brownies no matter what the race. I was told a driving instructor is someone certified in driver's ed.. I've never heard the term used in a racist manner but I guess that's only normal where I live. Now I know and won't use that term, thank you for enlightening me.
Is it normal to fail 2 road tests and be this worked up over it?

Hahaha. I figured brownie was the term. Here in the USA they are called driving instructors and brownie is a stupid racial slur.

I've NEVER heard of that.
The only non-racial use I've heard for "Brownie" was the lowest rank of Girl Scouts.
