Just passed my driving test

[JU!]

Congrats Benji. Reminds me I should learn to drive. My Dads a qualified driving instructor and taught my step mom n brother to drive.

Congrats!

I really wonder if I could pass again if was to take a test tomorrow. I reckon I'd be locked-up as a danger to road users everywhere.

Well done mate.

I'm 27 and still can't drive - I envy you, I really do.

I'm 31 & have finally realised that I need to pull my finger out & learn to drive so I can escape this ****hole I live in from time to time.

I've never driven or know owt about driving. All I know is where u put the key to start it up!!
My bro says he'll give me a few pointers b4 I get in an instructors car.
I'm just ****ting myself because I can be a bit indecisive in life & am worried I'll keep this up when I'm driving i.e. when overtaking or at junctions etc.

Sending off for my provisional as I speak.

Car insurance, like wine, gets better with age.

If you don't spill it.

Well done but FFS be careful! I thought I was Nigel Mansell or something after I passed my test but a few near misses later I soon realised that, actually, I was inexperienced and generally crap at driving

Congratulations.

Congratulations, now you just need to learn how to drive rather than to pass the test

Just passed for the third time!

1993 - UK driving test
1995 - Raratonga driving test (dont ask!)
2007 - USA driving test

The USA is such an easy driving test - basically around a carpark and and around a corner - takes all of 5 minutes.

Yeah but about 98% of Americans drive automatics - where's the fun in that?!

I just passed my test......in June 1991 gosh, now I feel very very old - but with lots of no-claims bonus and insurance that doesn't cost an arm and a leg, so it all balances out in the end.

But driving tests have changed so much now that I'd probably fail if I tried to take one tomorrow! The theory section of my test involved sitting in the car with the examiner at the end of the test - naming the road signs shown in his little flippy book and answering one question about braking! Christ, I hope I never have to take it again. The biggest worry I had was which of the 3 main manoeuvres I'd have to do: parallel parking, 3 point turn or reversing round a corner!

And my lessons were only £13 a pop. Nowadays, lessons are £23-25! My wife had to stop learning as it was just to expensive

Btw, congrats on passing - be careful out there

I still screwed that up! The examiner sighed and said since your driving is good enough...

Well done! I falled my forth not long ago so i'll be having another stab at it soon. They make it way to hard!
