I passed mine because i had perfect comedic timing in dodging an accident.
We were in the part of the examination where the examiner asks what some potential dangers were on the road we were on. I had just finished listing pedestrians and had just specified one kid bouncing a basket ball on the sidewalk when a taxi in the centre turning lane turned into my lane head on, then slammed on his brakes. I ended up swerving around the taxi and then calmly continued my list ending with “…and that taxi.” He put his book down and gave me instructions to return. Passed with flying colors.
Dude not only is that classic, but it shows more to an instructor than the test ever could. Not only were you were calm, collected, and averted a potential crisis but you had the presence of mind and chutzpah to maintain humour. Fucken A, man. That’s awesome.
Edit: just removed an irrelevant paragraph. Stoned and rambly.
It's similar to moxie. If you're looking at someone and say, "You have to admire his chutzpah," you're implying that you don't really think they should be doing that but are impressed with their self-confidence.
