a super experienced driver would be checking if theres someone in the car potentially making a move, and then if they want to be polite leave a gap. but legally and according to highway code the student appeared to do nothing wrong... that caused a fail? more like meeting quotas or something.
Very harsh decision as nothing really to be learnt from it. The vehicle reversing is at no risk and caysing no risk by not being able to proceed. Maybe a quick chat by the examiner on debrief , but not a serious or even minor fault in my opinion 🤔
My first thought is was the learner even aware there's anyone in that car so how are they supposed to perceive it as a hazard also if the car reverses into your learner it's surely their fault not your learner's!
Yeah very unfair. Not causing any danger what so ever also. Your student also has the priority and there are no signs that say keep clear or the like
That examiner needs retraining.

Unfair 100% I’ve been a instructor for 8 years . If I was driving I would have give a friendly toot of the horn.
