Yes, that's the problem with automated, non-human tests: they can't
allow for the "I hadn't though of that hazard, but well done for
spotting it".

Or the numpties that look at a theory test question of:

What should you do as you approach this overhead bridge?

And *not* click on:

C. Be prepared to give way to large vehicles in the middle of the road

*Because* ... 'a large vehicle couldn't fit under that bridge!!'. ;-)

Heh, the theory test was dead easy. Multiple-choice, often with only
one realistic answer.

"You are approaching a pedestrian crossing. Your traffic light is
flashing amber but an old lady starts to cross. Do you a) Accelerate -
you can squeak past if you swerve;
b) Stop but rev your engine and sound your horn to make her see the
error of her ways;
c) Run her over. You have right of way and she looked like didn't have
long left anyway;
d) Stop and wait until she has crossed before continuing."

The Highway code has a throwaway instruction to avoid accidents, so that
overrides the feeling of being in the right, or where you have a right
of way, so "d" is the obvious answer.

Would "a" not also suffice?
