My daughters test today fingers crossed .. Got me thinking back to mine I failed first time passed second in what I can only describe as the worst weather ever to hit Glitterville and I was sure I was gonna fail. Snow hit bad and I was a wreck but I did everything correctly and walked away happy and got straight into my new car .. A mini god I loves that car. Pearlised white it was . Long time ago.

So do you remember your driving test ? Any funny stories?

And what was your first car ?

I passed first time.

Technically I shouldn't have passed because right at the end I made 2 "serious" mistakes, I think you only need 1 "serious" and you'll get failed.

First one was I failed to check "blind spot" before moving off and second one I hit a kerb parking in the test center on return.

Both were in the last 5 minutes. He said I was perfect the whole test other than that and said it was nerves and passed me.

First car: red vw corrado G60 supercharged which I crashed at 20 mph after some dickhead thought it was funny to drag road works equipment into the road on a blind spot at 2am.

Luckily I was only doing 20mph but it was a total write off.

I passed mine 2nd time, on the first test I scared the examiner, so much so he felt the need to grab hold of his seat, I swear to this day he was praying too. All I did was cut up 2 cars coming off a roundabout onto a dual carriageway...oops

Answer, New Cheshire potatoes, 11/6 a sack !

He laughed, luckily, and 30 minutes later I passed, on my 17 th birthday

when i was doing the questions part of my test, he held up a sign and asked what it was. i said 'wild animals'.

he said 'no, its deer crossing'

i said 'well they would be wild if they got run over'

still passed, in a mk4 escort.

first car was a mk3 escort.

thats what i dont like about modern day driving instructors.

they all have nice posh, new cars.

but not too many learners are going to have a brand new fiat 500, for arguments sake.

would be much better to use an older car.

I passed mine the third time, first time my nerves got the better of me, second time the car had new brake pads fitted the day before and I never got used to them.

My first car was a Yamaha DT 125R, (was told I didn't need my own car and could borrow my parents when they allowed it, so I passed my motorbike test as well).

I can actually park very well so not a problem for me, on my test (after my third lesson) I had to cheat reading the number plate as forgotten my glasses
