Many of you were so lucky you can drive such early, unlike me who start driving my own GLC, the first car I can afford. A model without too much fancy features, but reliability is good and maintenance (all cars need financial requirement though) is relatively easy.
Went to school on bike, or on foot with an umbrella in the rain...
Me too, someone who taught me driving in my first drive said of that typical of smooth driving, just smooth not the fastest, perhaps like Jenson Button. :)
No, but Paula Yates lived just down the road :pQuote:

I was waiting at the test centre feeling really nervous it seemed to take an age for my examiner to arrive, but finally he did and we completed all of the pre test questions and instructions.
The car park of the test centre was on a steep slop with the cars facing the test centre building which had a large glass window at which all of the awaiting students stood looking out, all of which I felt was a bit unfair. Anyway he told me to pull out of the bay and go left out of the centre.
So I let the hand brake off and started to roll forward, when I was suddenly striken with panic and froze. The car now rolled quickly out of the bay and headed straight for the test centre building with everyone looking straight at me. I just never put my foot on the brake and frantically steered the car jerking away from the building.
However I didn't have time to correct it quickly enough and went too far the other way and clumped over the kerb on the other side of the car park, when my examiner put on the dual control brake.
I turned to him knowing I had failed after about 5 seconds and said " Shall I get out now".
As it was I carried on and got some experience of the rest of the test, which helped me pass next time.
The worst thing of all was coming back into the centre and seeing everyone including my instructor looking at me. I got driven home and said nothing until my instructor said, well it must be better next time.
