new patients usually requires two staff and a new area and feeling that
a collegue is observing her would be too close to a driving test, hence
let them drive her to a new patient rather than the other way round!

Over the years I have done numerous exams and the only ones I have been
nervous about while doing them are the driving test, observed practicals
and presentations - it's not the pressure of the exams that is the
problem, it's the pressure of having someone watching you. Many people
would fail unnecessarily, just due to that.

WTF is her reaction if a TrafPol car happens to follow her?

Why should that be a problem? Having someone sat next to you and
watching your every movement, even your eye movements is far, far worse.
