Agony of Defeat (take 5)

Sep. 13, 2019. Well, it is approaching the realm of ridiculous, if not already there. I practiced all last week, to turn my head / left shoulder on left turns to eliminate the blind spot that I supposedly have.  During the test, in my opinion I executed a near flawless performance.  Turned my head on the left turns, complete stops, no curbs on the S-curve and crank, turn signals on way ahead of time.  However, failed again.  Unfortunately, I had the same examiner as my very first attempt.  He said he remembered me, and that I had made much improvement.  He even said I did turn my head to look but however, in his opinion, I only turned and looked to "please" him, not to really look at the left side for potential bikers.  Now to me, that is totally subjective.  How can he know what I am looking for?  First of all, there are no bikers on the course.  2nd, when I look in a direction, I take a panoramic view, which means if there is biker on my left, I would see that along with everything else in the background.  Well, try again next Thursday.
