I take it Twain's only talking about a driving lesson there... If you forget your glasses in the real test, and can't read the license plate from the very beginning, they won't even let you sit in the car and you'll have failed the test there and then! :S
Just remember one thing, and I'm sure you'll do fine:
THERE IS NO RUSH.
If you see other people rushing, breaking the speed limits, etc, even after you've passed, sod 'em, it's there problem! Stick to the limit and you'll NEVER have ANY problems. All they need to do is leave earlier and they can drive at the given speed limit - unless, of course, the man in question is behind the wheel of a BMW....
We can't really complain about all the great weather we've been having, but I must say, after working in it for the last week, it really is too hot to do ANYTHING like this! Especially if you sweat, like I do... And drive a silver Ford escort, like I have, with no air conditioning and heaters that only blow cold WARM air! :P

Curse you Tesco shreddies! Curse you fibre!

You know those things grow to like 3 metres long or more in the ocean.
That kind of size, if they don't try to eat you, they're going to have a decent go at poisoning you.
Just think what a blue whale could do to your stomach...

Tuna is teh 3vil. It's the first time it's gotten me, but never again. I know I'm going to eat it in the future, but not yet. I can still remember the pain from yesterday. Urgh.
I've had food poisoning before. It's weird, there seems to be a few types. There's the "I feel like I really need to crap, but when I get to the toilet I realise I don't" strain, the "Rargh... world... fading... going... dizzy..." strain, and the one I had yesterday, "Oh dear God my stomach is going to explode. *blurgh*"
*blurgh* being the sound associated with muchos chucking up.

Heh, I seem to get food poisoning every time I eat tuna. I keep going back to it though :^D
I think I'm building up my resistance to it. Eventually I'll be able to eat *anything*.

Wait until you do your theory test. That sucks. It's not hard (at all...) but the Hazard Perception bit really needs some work on by the DSA. You have to click when you see a hazard, but unfortunately I had a habit of clicking as soon as I saw the hazard, when I should have clicked "When the hazard had shown considerable development". Still managed to pass, though, just barely. :)

Ah, just finished. I think I can safely say he's a hell of a lot better than my dad!
In a whole hour I probably got my speed up to about 20mph, second gear and travelled oooooooo about 400 yards.
metal note to self: remember glasses next time.
Oddly enough, he criticised that I couldn't read a number plate at the correct distance. I wear glasses you see, sometimes. But I wa sdriving along and an old man tried to walk down a pointless road with no pavement, and I see him a mile away! he says I have "good hazard perception" lol! Hazard perception is just common sense though so I'm glad about that!

Ah, driving lessons. Wonderful, wonderful times.
*cough*
I just hope your instructor is better than mine. I was doing the Pass Plus, second stage, and a frickin' bilzzard starts.
"Erm... reduce speed to 20, it's safe that way"
"... this is motorway"
Fun times.
