Would you prefer me to come down and practice a few handbrakes turns in the estate? Or perhaps I could interest you in thee art of the rolling burnout Sir?

Well after everyone and their nan asking how it went you'll have to suffice with a brief summery.

Overall it went well, no curbs hit, no stalls and no use of his dual control or grabbing of the wheel. But it all did go to pot at times when it come to down shifting, checking mirrors, turning on/off of indicators and shuffling the wheel.

My instructor has booked me in for 10 hours of lessons (2 hours every Tuesday) with my test being on the 11th of March all being well.

I failed but I passed.

Confused? Well long story short coming to a roundabout with mutilate exists with white painted lines everywhere I fluffed it up. He said straight over and I straight away got in the wrong lane and continued in the wrong lane on the roundabout. I was about to follow my choice through until he shouted at me to keep going round.

Luckily on the 2nd time round I nailed it but all hope was gone for a pass. Kept my head together got back to the test centre and he told me I had passed with 5 minors. So just as I was feeling good he give me a right royal telling off. Some of the things I agree with, others I wouldn't of but I kept quite, agreed with him and walked away with a pass.

So to sum up, passed, 5 minors, time to save up for a cage.
