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.
