Had to drive a 2.0 16v Turbo Ford Mondeo saloon. It's a huge car and has very bad vision out of the rear compared to what I'm used to driving.

Had to do the old reverse round a corner and turn in the road as well as driving for 35 minutes.

I passed, (of course), so now I can drive a police car at legal speeds. I am aloud to use my siren and lights to stop "compliant" drivers, but I can't do most stuff until I've done the 3-week course.

It is at first but, after a while, it'll become second nature and you won't have to think about it.

When you pass, you have your own car and can go anywhere you want whenever you want, you'll wonder why you waited so long.

I have the opportunity - my parents will pay for my lessons and test(s) and I'd be allowed to drive one of their cars (probably the small Rover) but... I just don't want to.

For one thing I think I'd be crap at it, I have serious trouble doing more than one thing at a time, and having to steer, use the pedals, shift gears AND keep an eye on the road and my mirrors would just be a nightmare. I don't trust myself.

And another thing is that I don't NEED to drive. I can get everywhere I need to go by bus and metro or, if absolutely necessary, scrounge lifts off my parents/brother/The Wal. I'll probably go for my bike licence before I try to learn to drive.

Haha.

No, seriously, I was getting what used to be called mobility allowance and it made me eligible to drive at 16.
