stupid questions, screen tearing and staff denials

[talkToTheHat]

I'm in the process of doing something awful. Learning to car. Theory test it was today. Back to the same shitty testing centre I passed motorcycle theory at in the days of grainy staged video. New haz-per is nicely rendered, walking animations have a frame doubling in them as they loop, but more annoyingly there's massive screen tearing issues. It's really distracting and pulls the eye away from scanning the screen.

Anyone else had this screen tearing issue?

I attempted to complain at the reception desk after the event. Much fake searching for the correct form. Eventually a rather old man in a cheap suit was fetched out who told me I couldn't make a complaint because it was a fault that I should have raised during the test. I said it was definitely a complaint about the facilities as the problem is down to improper setup of the equipment or under-specified equipment. Suitman informed me that nobody had ever complained about the computers before, I asked whether that was because they had obstructed the complaints protest previously and he walked off on me. From there is was pretty much being stonewalled.

So how do I go about effecting change upon this? Whilst this just pissed me off, I have at least enough experience of gaming on kit I had neither the permission nor skill and experience to fix to not look at the tearing. I'm not sure experience of Unreal Tournament should be a requirement.

And now for your amusement I shall share the question I got wrong. I knew I got it wrong at the time. (Letters added becasue no ticky box.)

So which answer did you give?

And re the screen problem, just book another attempt, go to a different test centre if it'll make you feel better.

Eleventy degrees of escalation are available. I think the Queen holds your coat at one point.

Was a trick question and you answered a & b. Right?

Where's the "Make sure you hit the car because compo claim" option?

They didn't have cars when I took my test. What is the correct answer?

I'm guessing the 'correct' answer is to ignore the incident. It's a bloody stupid question really, but many of them are, I think the test designers chose a number 'x' out of thin air then thought up 'x' questions to ask. When they ran out of sensible questions they made up increasingly stupid ones till they reached 'x'.

C is the answer they want. I answered D because i'm a pedant and given no option to brake as required it seems like the way to not die. I couldn't bring myself to tick C. Also option n+1 required: whine about it on BCF

This isn't failure rage. I passed reassuringly well. I'm just entertaining the notion of burning down an awful testing centre.
