    lol, was this in your driving lesson. you instructor mind? mind falls asleep on the way back from Whinchester (to petersfield) along the A272, i didnt really believe he did, but he talks as if he has just woken up. Risked a glance, and behind his sunnies he had his eyes closed!! lol i fancy doing an emergency stop saying a cat ran out...

    14 lessons, 35/35 in theory, 1 minor in prac (which tbh was the instructor being real bitchy)

    But what really does driving lessons teach you? They dont teach you to drive optimally, thats for sure.

    i've had 22 lessons so far, passed theory 34/35. some eejit pulled up next to me at the lights in my lesson and gave me 'the nod' - i couldn't resist! by the time my instructor realised what was goin on, i was doin 80mph in 5th, after leaving rather a lot of rubber and the foool in the nova back at the lights

    if war is the answer, then we are asking the wrong question

    7 hours of lessons- and 8 months driving my Mum around in a 2CV. Didn't pass first time though TBH, although I did pass my bike test on the first attempt.

    I had about 15 lessons, passed theory and practical both first time (34/35, no minors).

    At £16 an hour, I could only afford that many, as I was at college, and only had a £30/day Saturday job to get me through

    I did the pass plus course on top of those 15 lessons too. Although I didn't have to do driving in the rain/ice/snow lessons, as we had to cover those whilst I was originally learning.

    Heh the thing I want to know is does everyone drive like they used to while learning? The answer for most has to be no! I know it is for me! That does not imply I drive wrekless!
