Driving Test
- Thread starter Laceytree
- Start date
I passed second time. Was 19 the first time and 21 when I passed.
Was at college at the time, drove for 13 hours spread over many months as that was all I could afford. Failed that time for speeding on the eastern road, doing 34mph in a 30 zone. I said if I look at the speedo anymore while driving i wouldn't be looking at what I'm approaching. I also failed on an emergency stop. He said if it had been raining i would have skidded, however it was raining and i had my wipers on so i don't see what the problem was there. They get to a quota of a certain amount passing each month. I reckons i was near the end of the month.
The second time I had the head of Hampshire chappy for my test. I thought I am doomed. We say in traffic for 20 of the 35mins in Southsea which helped. I passed that time.
Well done for passing first time. Lets add this up, you must have been at least 18 when you passed, and that was 20 years ago... I didn't know you were that old, :noidea: you don't look it.

Yeah i am an oldie now. I am 40 next year Dan so big party then for sure!! I probably don't act my age which helps plus the fact Mum looks so young still.
I want to do my bike test too but H is the only thing holding me back. He has seen me drive so is scared i would kill myself on a bike. I'll keep working on him!!

I agree, but to be honest I just wanted him out of the car so I think I must of driven like a women possessed just to get back to the exam centre. In those days we had to do hand signals as well so I kept my window open all the time, and he kept telling me shut it, I dont think so lol xx
Blimey, 1973 was 2 years before i was born. I don't expect there was many cars on the road back then, when I see old b&w photos there isn't many cars about.
Was that near the year when you didn't have to take a driving test? I know it was some time in the past when you could buy a driving licence at the post office.

Hi Renegades,
I passed my driving test in Sept 1983 at 17 the second time,unfortunately i would have passed first time if i hadnt been speeding on the way back to the test centre, i was flat out like a lizzard drinking, oops!
My first car was a Ford Cortina MK2 of course seeing as i am a big fan of the blue oval,and its been down hill ever since.
Nanu Nanu,its always sunny on my planet!! Superb!

My first car was a brown (ick!!!) Austin Allegro with twin exhausts, sports model no less!!! It went extremely fast and frightened the pants of a new driver - me!!! i only had it 6 months as i killed it and so then went on to a Metro that i called Myrtle. I am so glad i have advanced in my taste of cars over the years!!!!!

My first car was a black mini, which I still have and will get back on the road one day. I had it since just before I passed my test, and killed the engine after about 3 years. I replaced the engine with a 1.4 stage 3 engine with a nice freeflow exhaust, however another few years down the line the body gave out. So I'm looking for a pre '73 shell to use as a base for the car and swap all the running gear and interior over and get her on the road again.
