Well done.
I find it interesting that someone can make over 1000 posts on the "The Subaru Impreza and Performance Car Community" when they dont even drive :s

bout 30 odd but thats because i couldnt book my test earlier.
I was minored because my instructor has always told me to have my left mirror pointed at the kurb so i can see when manouvering.
i was minored because i couldnt see behind me in that mirror when coming off of roundabouts, even though i checked my blindspot everytime.

I used to check my blind spot every time I went onto a motorway. But since getting the TVR I've found out you can actually see less over your shoulder than you can out of the driver's side mirror

I agree with Carl, but, when I set the mirrors on a car I try to make a compromise between seeing back down the road and down to the curb for parking etc. (however after you've been driving a little while you'll get to know the angles and technique and wouldn't need to have a direct view of the curb). 
At the end of the day mirrors are there you help you and others around you, if you knocked someone off a bike on your driving test I'm certain you would fail! Better to curb an alloy than take a life
Having thought about it a little more, your instructor really shouldn't be telling you do something that will get you a minor Maybe you should tell him he's wrong - get a refund 
Congratulations

If you've got electric mirrors (I know you won't have on a GT6) it isn't much effort to drop the passenger side one down to show the kerb when parking anyway. As UFO says, it only takes a few weeks to learn all the angles for your particular car.
