"I Had My First Driving Lesson Today"

It's really easy.

My instructor said I should take my test soon.

My neighbour has a tank for sale just incase your after one for when you pass your test!

My clutch control was totally amazing last lesson.
I got a semi, it was that good.

Not a single rev as I pulled away from these traffic lights, just gliding off silently. I wondered for a second if I'd actually stalled but no ... I am just perfect.

im learning too drive too, birthday tomorrow but i have been going on private land.

i think its quite hard but im learning and doing okay i suppose...

Yeah, he meant my thoery test anyway, but even though I'm like a jean-ass I figured thatI'd find it easieer if I'd been on the road, as I'd ahev put thoery into practice.

No?

And you can drive in car parks and on private land at any ag you want, as they're not covered by law, and you don't need a license, but my parents didn't want to teach me in case they taught me their bad habits.

Simple.

And with all this wind and rain it was actually dry yesterday, which was cool.

And I didn't stall once.

I rule.

You can take your theory test before you're 17 if you want, I believe, and you can get a provisional license before you're 17 as well, but it won't be worth anything until your 17 birthday.

No. In order to have driving lessons, you need a Provisional Liscence, which becomes effective on your 17th Birthday.

It has more than Milton Keynes? I'll be impressed if it does!

Plus if anyone has heard of Gallows Corner roundabout, they'll agree with me when I say it's one of the most dangerous places in the world!

Look at the name for God's sake! They used to kill people there!

My town is famous for the number of roundabouts... that's all it's famous for really.

"Junction? Pah, we have all this left over crap... lets built as many roundabouts as we can."

i think that is right
