I'm now 18!

It's my 18th birthday today

So it's my first anniversary of passing my theory test!

[Revian]

Many happy returns junior....

I passed my test in 1967 (what's this theory test thing? ) at 17yrs 5 months after 5 lessons in April and 5 in September....with no driving between those months. Not that many cars on the road though....

Cost: £10 for 11 lessons. Mind you my apprentice pay was £22 a month..... And my accommodation /main meal £5 & 5 shillings (Guineas....) a week. 5 week months were a problem...

Me too. First attempt was on the day following the closures of the local test centers for a week or so after tests were suspended due to heavy snow falls, impassable side roads etc. I was on early, examiner called me out and we walked to my car with lots of tutting and head shaking, It went downhill from there on. Waiting behind a learner driver at traffic lights, the lights went green and the learner stalled - my examiner lent across and sounded the horn for what must have been 10 seconds accompanied by a string of expletives. I failed the test.

Next day I applied for a second driving test, turned up on the day, sat in the waiting room when my name was called out, I turned round and shock/horror it was the same examiner. The test rushed by, he was nice as pie and I passed. Make up your own mind as to what were in his thoughts - at least he still had a job!

Good grief!

I don't feel old, and I'm nearly 76. There's probably something wrong with me......
