things over here are very strict and its better to say yes sir you are the boss (and swallow your tongue and really want to give him an right uppercut,and he knows this too) ,I could of left with a far bloodier nose.The bulb blew about 5 hours before the test( I called around for a spare,no luck),if I had cancelled,I´d of still had to pay for this test,or my name would of registerted next time and I´d of started off -2 points.The guy did´nt check many things,but I spent today cutting out stupid white sticks with arrows to put onto the speedo which indicate kilometers instead of mile per hour-.He knows as soon as the test is over I´m going to take them off as well as refit the brake light switch,but thats the game.In germany there is no grey,its black or its white.I take my oldtimer cars over 700 miles to france to get them MOT´ d so sparing myself the ordeal of the german inspection.Thing is most of the tester guys are only doing their job which is filling out a fault sheet,they can make you or break you.All said and done,the guy was fair,but he kept me waiting over 30 minutes whilst he called a fellow member on the telephone talking about the world and its problems,letting me know he was the big man.Thank god for Karma
