I had a similar experience. I passed by one point on my first try. 70 out of 100 was passing, and the guy took off 25 points for one perceived offense.
In the drive-around-the-neighborhood part, a ball bounced out in the street from between two cars, followed a split second later by a small child. I slammed on the brakes and stopped about two feet short of the kid. The officer nailed me for 25 points for failing to look in my rearview mirror before the emergency stop.
While this is technically correct, had I done so, I certainly would have failed the test for having killed a kid. My thought was that even if a car had been right behind me, it hitting me was better than me hitting the kid. Since I passed, I wasn't going to argue my logic with the guy.
