Passed 'bike' test first time 1965 on a Lambretta !!!!

Passed car test first time 1966 in a Hillman Minx!!!

My dad was manager at Putney BSM so I got free lessons - only drawback was I always had three other instructors in the car with me, two training, one teaching, it made for a few laffs I can tell you. Putney was where instructors were trained then.

It took me 3 attempts to pass my test :whistling:

Passed after chatting to the instructor saying it was my 3rd go and it was needed for my job..........

So he passed me with 13 points (15 max) and said and I quote:

"Ok this time you have passed but I advise you to take some extra lessons and would advise doing a Pass Plus course"

Of Course I took his advice <_< :whistling: "Yeah sure bye!" :driving:

I passed my HGV test 1st time, even though I did a hill start in 5th gear.

passed first time when I was 17, :ohmy: that seems so long ago now.

Also when I moved to Ireland for a year, i had insurance with hibernian na dhad to go on this one day intense course. for which I got 80% reduction on my insurance policy but it was still double what I was paying in UK.

I passed 1st time 2 days after my 17th birthday, the examiner asked me how i learned to drive like that so quick, what i didnt tel him was that i'd been driving my mums Vauxhall Viva (no jokes!) since i was 15 but i did tel him i was practicing on private roads, like he believed me! Lol! 4 minor faults and 10 years ago, only ever had 3 points in 1995 for doin 60 in a 30 in my Escort RST, stupid and senseless at 17 a, clean since then tho.

I was caught once in my mums car driving it on my own 2 weeks before my 17th and wen i could take my test, i was in a bus lane! I was more scared of my mum than what the police were gonna say! Lol!

Also passed my PCV first time 5 years ago.

Goin for my ADI now. Anyone else doin ADI course on here?

Sorry for rambling on folks...Thats all!
