As someone who worked in a DMV for many years issuing driver’s licenses — even though I wasn’t a license examiner — I think I’m the closest thing to your target respondent so far.
The craziest thing I ever witnessed with my own eyes was a dude who somehow managed to lose control at <15 mph, jumped the curb, and smashed into the guardrail. Needless to say, he was not issued a license.
The best story I ever heard from a co-worker happened immediately after she came inside swearing a blue streak because, during a part of the test where the examiner stands on the curb in order to observe maneuvers, her customer drove up over the curb and straight into her knee.
should be "took test"
