    Took me twelve including the lesson before my test.

    I could already 'drive' (*loosely, lol), my old man had given me lessons round car parks etc.

    No Sensei, i'm not kicking the mats to waste time, they have parted and I don't want to injure myself!

    ROFL!

    Two incidents spring to mind:

    1x Montego being thrashed down a small (private) road when your dad asked you to "bring the car around the back", a stone chip and a new headlight

    1x Chevette with a cherry bomb exhaust, being borrowed for an evening and condensation covered front window driven in the rain. Muchos sideways action including a broken track rod end after an incident with a curb

    He he. This was genuinely not my fault. Noob in front's hubcap flew off in a 40 an whacked the front of the car, smashing the headlight. I did try to avoid it though!

    I hated it when my Dad took me driving!!!! he was one of the most mild mannered men iv'e ever met until he was in the passenger seat

    Or maybe it was my driving

    Jon won't take me driving, says i'm much better off learning with an instructor.... it would be nice to practise manouvres a bit more though..

    I found initially lessons are essential - for the basics and good habits - but then practise with Jon!

    I'm always picking up on Jon's bad habits... he does them all the more to annoy me

    He'd rather me have extra lessons with the instructor than take me himself, i',m happy enough with one a week for now... maybe when iv'e passed my theory i'll have an extra one a week... my problem is time, i work from 8-6 she finishes at 7 and she doesn't give instruction at weekends

    My instructor worked 7 days a week, I had a lesson at half nine in the evening once. His opinion was that all he had to do was tell me what to do/what i was doing wrong and sit there - and if he was prepared to do that - he'd get paid for every hour he did. Top bloke
