Passed my theory test lads

[palinurus]

Thought I'd finally renew my provisional, better than digging out the passport if I want to pick up a parcel. Then I tried a mock test online, seemed like a piece of piss and now I've done the real thing just because I could.

 

[palinurus]

Why have I done this?

I passed my test 40 years ago. All we had to do then was drive between two cows without hitting either one.

You aren't THAT old, you fibber. It was four cows and a three point turn.

Saw a video by an American that lives over here and does stuff about the difference in uas and uk, the driving test over there is driving around a car park...they were told here when they had lessons they basically needed to start from scratch as they couldn't drive.

Just because you could

I did a DVLA online mock theory not long back and gratified to pass a 48/50 mark. Not bad from someone who barely actually drives at all any more.

3-2-1.... and this thread degenerates into an anti-car rant led by the anti-car brigade with members so committed they only ride unicycles made from bamboo.

I learned to drive later in life. I took my theory the year after covid lockdown. The lady in the test centre insisted everyone place their licence on to a ping pong bat she held out to avoid hand contact. She even placed your results on said bat and passed them to you 😂

My unicycle is made from a smug feeling of vehicular superiority!

I passed my driving test in 1964, age 17. Subsequently, age 64, I decided to take lessons and take a motorcycle test. Based on advice from my motorcycle mad son-in-law, I took the full test, allowing me to ride all sizes of motorcycle. This included the "Theory Test" as well as the "practical" test. I passed first time, much to the irritation of several of my (much younger) fellow pupils, who needed more than one attempt.

I passed my test in 1968!
The test was a shambles. My examiner had his supervisor in the car, assessing him. We were doomed from the start.
It didn't go well, for him or me. He was nervous, I was too.
But at the end no one was dead, I'd learned the highway code and didn't touch the kerb doing the 3 point turn.
Oh and it snowed a bit.

 

[Drago]

Oh and it snowed a bit.

And I was born!

 

[Gwylan]

And I was born!

That should make me feel better?

Oh and I cycled 40 km today.

I thought it was a three pint turn.
