1st time - but everyone knows girls can drive better

 

[FamilyGuy]

Passed first time - and after only 5 lessons...................................................................
but it was years ago and there was much less traffic on the roads then,

and everything was in black and white

and people walked around very, very fast - dodging the horse drawn carriages, and you had to be home early before the smog got you.

I think he was trying to imply that women drivers pass their tests by wearing short skirts, and that women drivers are crap.

To which I totally agree

I hope you never need a lift from me then

ha ha

at least if you're driving I get to be in charge of the tunes.... oh wait a minute I'm not allowed to do that either

 

[ripper]

Likewise

 

[Rambo]

1st time for me, 1 month after my 17th birthday.
Iam a superb driver of course.

 

[Lush]

1st time in the car - but had two goes at the motorbike test - took the off-road slalom too fast and wiped out the last three traffic cones! Still amazed I managed the figure of eight in that tiny space.

 

[Beach Hut]

2nd

 

[Dover]

Motorcycle licence only...1st time. Rode like a pillock right through the test.

I chose my test centre very carefully - Aldridge (just outside Walsall) a place with no roundabouts (at the time).

It pissed down with rain - so much so that the examiner suggested I just pulled in by the side of the road for five minutes until it eased off.

With standing water on the carriageway, he was generous to say the least with the emergency stop bit.

We then had a further delay, thanks to a herd of cows crossing the road.

And the examiner kept saying things like "a bit more throttle" as I did the reversing around a corner bit.

That last bit convinced me that I must have failed, so I relaxed - and passed.

For half the test, I drove with the handbrake on - the car was an old Austin Cambridge, with the handbrake between the driver's seat and the driver's door.

And I drove through a red traffic light on the way home after the test. But that didn't matter. I had a slip of paper proving I was a competent driver.

 

[Lord Cornwallis]

first time for me, 1972 Datsun Bluebird. As there was a waiting list, the instructor put me in for the test after the first lesson. I took my test after six lessons, but couldn't drive home afterwards due to the shock of passing.

 

[driddles]

First time for me - 20 years ago. I drove through a red light (sun coming up over lake so I did not see it). Then I did my parallel park and ended up on a front lawn.

My instructor was about 70 and when we got back he said 'Don't worry son you'll get the hang of it' and passed me!
