I have passed my driving test today - YIPPEE. I just wondered how many attempts it has taken other people. It was 3rd time lucky for me! Jack x

Thanks all. I've lost count of the number of lessons I have had. The trouble is when you fail you have to wait 4 months for a re-test! But never mind, I'm smiling now :-)))))

Twice for me in 1962 but I suspect it was easier then with not so much traffic. Mind you i took it in Portsmouth just as the Dockyard threw out all the cyclists going home for lunch -- nightmare!!! Anyone remember the dockyard 'maties' on bikes? Hundreds of them about 10 deep across the road. Ann Glos
