In the woman's first driving test, in July 2023, the assessor noted she breached the road rules multiple times including by continuously driving in a bike lane, failing to give way, braking to a near stop in a 70km/h zone and obstructing other vehicles and driving at 38km/h in a 60 km/h zone.

The decision noted the assessor had intervened when the woman started to turn in front of approaching vehicles without sufficient time or distance, and when she failed to give way as she moved off from a kerb.

She still thought she was hard done by and appealed?

Not to mention that the rules change all the time, and only a tiny proportion of drivers stays up to date.

The Ontario Highway Traffic Act, for example, gets about 6 updates per year.
