Local Man Calls for VAR After His Wife Passes Her Driving Test
A GLASGOW man is demanding full video‑assistant‑referee review after his wife successfully passed her driving test “despite several clear and obvious howlers,” according to sources close to the marital dispute.
Craig McFadden, 42, claims the examiner’s decision was “a shocking miscarriage of motoring justice” and insists the DVLA should “roll the tapes back, slow it down, zoom in, and check every angle like they do when Celtic get a penalty.”
Witnesses say Craig’s wife, Julie, emerged from the test centre beaming, certificate in hand, while Craig stood beside the car shaking his head like a manager whose team has just conceded a last‑minute goal.
“I’m not saying she’s a bad driver,” Craig told The Dafty, while absolutely saying she’s a bad driver. “But I’ve seen her parallel park. If that manoeuvre isn’t worth at least a yellow card, then the whole system’s corrupt.”
Craig alleges several “VAR‑worthy incidents,” including:
– A suspiciously smooth hill start, which he claims “has never happened in the history of our marriage.”
– A three‑point turn completed in only three points, which he described as “statistically impossible.”
– Indicating correctly at a roundabout, which he insists “should’ve triggered an automatic review.”
Julie, meanwhile, has dismissed her husband’s concerns as “pure greetin’,” adding, “He’s just raging because I’ll be driving the new motor and he’ll be back on the bus like a wee dafty.”
A spokesperson for the DVLA confirmed they do not currently use VAR technology but admitted they are “monitoring the situation,” mostly because Craig has emailed them nine times in one morning.
Craig now plans to appeal the result, stating, “I just want fairness, transparency, and for my wife to stop pretending she’s Lewis Hamilton.”
Julie has since been spotted doing celebratory laps of the Tesco car park.
