Re: The Ultimate "I PASSED MY DRIVING TEST!" Thread!JUST PASSED
It was SO much worse than my first one, I swear. First guy failed me for doing 55, because "a corsa shouldn't do above 50, you should know that".
This one, I bumped the kerb, was sat at a junction for a good 3 minutes waiting...even when I could really have gone as soon as I got there...but there wasn't any more gaps for AGES.
And my leg was going like anything on the clutch during my turn in the road.
At least it's over with now.
I'm gonna miss my instructor =[ -

Re: The Ultimate "I PASSED MY DRIVING TEST!" Thread!Yup, ten minors over all. Couple for speed, which I think might've been when I was doing 40 in a national speed limit zone, haha.
If you know Aylesbury...I went towards Wendover, through Stoke Mandeville and did my manoeveurs in Elm Farm, near William Harding school. It was actually quite a relaxed route...the one which goes through Weston Turville is the WORST.
I just had a celebratory bagel. I think I singlehandedly define "lame". -

Re: The Ultimate "I PASSED MY DRIVING TEST!" Thread!Imagine a large, balding bloke sitting in the back of the car during my debriefing saying that. Couple it with a rather purple face and suspicious teeth-gritting noises, and you have my instructor for the 10 minutes following my test.(Original post by Ryan)
WTF?
It was bad. -
