Am I the only one who sees some hypocrisy here?

The replies on this thread indicate that decieving the government about a speeding fine is ok and yet on another post, some of the same people are going crazy and saying not paying a speeding fine is immoral!

I think in both cases honesty should rule. You are right to be too honest Tara, otherwise what kind of world will we end up living in?

Just my 2 cents anyhoo

How many points do you have to get here before you have to redo your driving test? Is it similar to uk?

In Alberta insurance is a private matter not Govt (unlike BC and I think Sask). So nobody could suggest decieving the govt with reference to the original post. NOBODY, not even Morwenna, actually said dont admit to a speeding offence\penalty points the closest anybody came (morwenna again) was to say perhaps the stress of moving may cause you to omit telling the insurance broker about it.

I suggest you go back and read the other thread properly and then compare each posters comments there with their comments here.

AFWIW I dont agree with insurance costing you more because you have a speeding\tire offence. You can't claim for the cost of these so why should your insurance be higher????

Sorry .... didn't see this question til now.

It was my Physiotherapy National Competency exam - clinical component. (I passed the 4-hour written component in January). It was very stressful. I registered at 12.00 noon and didn't leave the building til 5.30!

We had 16 different "patients" (actors! ) to examine this or test that, and answer written and/or verbal questions on.

There were about 30 of us, rotating round each station on a central timer .... BUZZ (2 minutes to look at scenario). BUZZ (enter station and begin). BUZZ (2 minutes left). BUZZ (move to next station). BUZZ 30 (second warning). BUZZ (start writing). BUZZ (stop writing) ....... you get the picture!!!! :scared:

I think I will continue hearing those BUZZes in my sleep for years to come!

As to how it went .... I have to say it was a fair, but very comprehensive clinical test for entry level physiotherapists. The only problem was I qualified 24 years ago, before some of the other candidates were born! And there were some things I hadn't done for decades!

The only station that truly stymied me was a client with "Thoracic Outlet syndrome ..... demonstrate 2 tests". and I couldn't think of one! Then having admitted that I had to stand there feeling like a prize **** for 5 minutes til the next buzzer went!

I just hope I did well enough, or we shall have to start booking flights back to UK
