why are people still driving too fast?

turning a stereo on

That wouldn't result in a fail, just request to turn it off from the examiner.

I suspect that the test would be terminated and the candidate would lose their fee.

What might they be..?

Well, you'd get a minor for not doing the proper 'feeding through' steering wheel grip, that no one bothers with once they've passed.
You'd get a minor for 'flicking' the gearstick rather than placing it into gear.
You'd get a minor or possibly a major for not doing a full 6 point check before moving off, also which no one does once passed.
You might even get a minor for flashing someone out, because its not 'to make them aware of your presence', which everyone does.
And yes you'd get a minor for doing 45 in a perfectly clear and straight 60 zone.

a minor isnt a fail unless your really bad and get loads

i managed to get a minor for steering which i thought is fairly major but i didnt argue that was the only minor i got. it was probably becuase of lack of steering due to sitting in traffic

Yes but the driving I described falls below DSA standards but not the law, which was the original point.

My driving instructor told me id likely fail my test for doing less than 50 in a 60 limit on a clear road, so if 10 mph too low is bad, then im sure 20 is even worse.
Maybe the 45 thing is just for NI

So we're all agreed at last then that 50mph isn't a fail. Perfectly fine to drive at 50mph in a 60 limit, even though the tailback is horrific, and the road rage will be like a scene from Resident Evil.
(I just finished the first tank driving at 56 rather than 70, I got about 10% more mpg, so prepare to queue behind me from now on).

Have you become a qualified DSA Examiner overnight?

Or did you hear it down the pub?
