The driving test

Sam Vimes

I passed my driving test today despite having to slam on the brakes to avoid squashing a dog's head so i would like to take this opportunity to say:


those damn provisional drivers are a menace!!! they should all be banned from the road immediately and be given life in prison for driving unaccompanied. Make it so

I passed last week. L drivers are scum.:D

My name is Todd

I passed recently too - I've been thinking about ramming a couple of learners off the road and blaming it on them...

Cathmandooo

Damn you traitors!! Congrats on passing

robinph

Well done.

I thought you were going to say that they gave you a fail for slamming on the brakes for just a dog though.

connundrum

I agree with all of the above, considering that I've passed my test as of last Wednesday, having driven on an L plate for 5 years and failed the test twice before.

Death to all Learners

John Mason

Death to all Driving Test Centres ..............i will be in a bloody zimmer frame before i get a test date

Good job you didn't freak out like that tool in the add and flip your car over into a crowd of school children. But I suppose you where under the speed limit given it was a test that kind of thing only happens once you go over 51kph.

Yep, the certificate of a passed test is not a full licence. Congrats by the way!

Well done OP!!

P.S: Grrrrrr to 'L' drivers indeed!!!:D

tallus

Congrats!

I passed mine this time last year on my third attempt and i have no shame in saying it was honestly the happiest day of my life! A few weeks after I passed I rented a car in Austria and got to drive on the other side of the road, my bf was terrified on all the little mountain roads but I was just so thrilled to be driving in another country because I HAD PASSED MY DRIVING TEST!!

Boo to L drivers!

The Cert of Competency is only valid for a limited time (one or two years - can't remember which). I used to work in Motor Tax and the number of muppets who came in with expired Certs of Comp was scary. Imagine having to resit the test because you didn't bother getting your Full Driving Licence in time?

The thought of that makes my blood run cold.

Also, don't do what I did when I passed my test. in a fit of ecstatic giddyness I cut up my provisional licence and threw the pieces away while doing a merry jig, forgetting that you need your provisional to get your full licence. I knew this but for some reason just didn't think about it. I was reminded after queuing in Nutgrove for 45 minutes. The guy that served me was píssing himself laughing at me! I had to go to the guards (who also pissed themselves laughing at me!) and tell them what I'd one so they could sign a form saying I'd "accidently destroyed" my licence. Not one of my finer moments!

Take it from me Commander Vimes... DON'T cut up your provisional!

Nice to know my embarassment has helped others! Although I'm sure I'm the only person stupid enough to do this!

It really is great when you pass your test like i did last week and you can finally get up on your high horse like every other selfish, self righteous **** on boards

120_Minutes

I passed last week, first time.

My boss failed today, first time

pickarooney

Did mine today. Won't find out for a week or two if I passed but no dogs' heads were squished during the course of the exam.

ah that explains it

pickarooney

Yeah, apparently too many instructors were being beaten up by enraged test-failers so now they leg it to a safe distance and fail you by post. Load of bollocks, but sure...
