Yes, worcester should be the capitol. Easier to get to if you are coming from the western part of the state, less crowded, less crime. Boston is easier if you are coming from the middle of the ocean where nobody lives

It sounds like you’re not ready for a license if you don’t know basic traffic signals

No, we should keep Boston in its 49 square miles

I respect Worcester and I as a kid saw the old Worcester Counts at the old Worcester centrum.But it's better the the region to make Boston as big a possible.Boston is a tiny 49 Sq. miles,New York is 250 Sq miles and LA is 450 Sq miles.If Boston was 300 square miles it would for sure in the top 5 biggest cities in the US.

not for nothing but it is true....Worcester is the support city for Boston it has the room to have the infrastructure to support the huge urban sprawl that is greater Boston. Sure it is the 2nd largest city in New England and has it's own identity

That sucks, and I can certainly believe that you could be told that.
For the record, a blinking yellow light means to proceed cautiously. You shouldn't be speeding, but a car that isn't speeding should at least take their foot off the gas and just be aware. I don't see too many of those myself, which means you probably got a little unlucky.
Not sure how to approach it. I'd find the instructor again and ask them. If you can get it in writing, even better. My test decades back was a tough one, but I passed. Watched a kid fail within 1 minute. Didn't even make it around the block because he choked when taking a right. They made me parallel park and do a three-point turn out of it on a really narrow street in Cambridge. Passed it my first time. But I still realize that others would have probably been fucked.

Federal law prohibits selling or giving people anything in exchange for organ or blood donations so this is DOA in addition to being a dystopian horror.

MA State Police has an accident reconstruction division. They must have filed something that reconstructs it since there was a fatality.

It sounds like you had a tough examiner, but aside from the yellow (you can definitely cause an accident coming to a full stop on yellow around here), he also had comments about steering, brake pressure, and signaling. Did those make sense to you? If so, you learned a lot and will probably pass next time.
For most people, this is close to the “best” they’ll ever drive, as far as adhering to the law, which is different than the confidence gained through driving over time. So he’s being a stickler and maybe even noticing stuff that could turn into future bad habits. And yes, there are tons of licensed terrible, distracted drivers.
Deep breath, and good luck.
