Can a DMV road tester literally have you pull over and then take the wheel from you?

-I took my road test yesterday and I failed it. The tester had me pull over within 5 minutes of driving and had me switch places with her and she drove us back. She said I was impeding traffic by driving too slow (which I was doing under guidance of others who had taken the test, I was doing 20 on a 35 mph road).



My question is, can they take control like that without your permission and so soon within the test?



She was a different race than me, so I'm also wondering if race played a part in it. That could just be my hard feelings speaking though...They do not have to allow you to continue driving. However, I am not sure if they are allowed to drive the car without your permission. You might have the option to park the car and walk back. I do not think it would be a good idea, since you would still fail the test, and retrieving the car could be a problem.



The guidance of others was wrong. You should not be driving only 20 on a 35 mph road unless heavy traffic makes it impossible to go faster or bad weather makes it unsafe to go faster.Obviously she can, you could get pulled over for doing that, you need to go the speed limit and if you cant you wont ever pass.
Of course they can. And of course they should to protect you, her and others that are on the road. Playing the race card is preposterous
