Drivers Beware !!!

[paulineb]

Just heard that Suzanne (you know, just had 18th birthday, loves men in yellow shirts etc) has passed her driving test on the first attempt. Good for her.

Now here's a small test:
PaulineB - passed her test first time
MrB - passed his test first time
Mrs Chrispy - passed her test first time
Suzanne - passed her test first time
Chrispy - passed his test second time

Spot the odd one out ?????

Chrispy is not alone. My first time failed, but it was at Mill Hill with ooer leaping out of side road on to the A41 at rush hour. Passed it second time at girly driver time of day in Surrey, with me nicely driving and them all crashing into each other outside the shoe shops.

Footwear

I can remember the shoes I was wearing when I passed my test. Long pink boots with platform soles.

I failed my first 'cause on a hill at traffic lights, the fire engine in front of me rolled back and nearly hit me, which threw me so much I took the next left that the examiner requested, which was a no entry. That threw him of course, along with the impossibly short skirt and green fishnet tights, with platform yellow sandals.

Well I can better all them. When I was 11. I used to be the works expert at backing 8 ton potato wagons into the warehouse. This was long before forklift trucks so they all had to be within three inches of the loading stage. So you could walk on and off, with 1cwt of potatoes on your back. I failed the test first and second time because I'd developed to many bad habits, like bothering with hand breaks every time, or waving at other motorists through the window. (No indicators).
I got some leasons for the third atempt and he told me about all these daft things you had to do. But I'd got so fed up with the examiners saying I hadn't looked in mirrors or done this or that. That when it came to reversing, I spent ages looking around and through mirrors, door, back window. I could have done it blindfolded but had to convince the bloke. Anyway I past, but he said. "Would I practice my reversing more"!!!!

Re: Footwear

And Chrispy didn't have access to said magic boots, did he? And neither did I! Dang.

When I took my test, all I had to remember was which end to put the hay in!

 

[hlb]

I past my motor bike test by going the wrong way at first junction, then getting lost. When I'd found my way back to the test center. He just said I'd passed. Strange cos I hadn't seen anything of him for half an hour!!

You were abviously OK, you found your way home, hadn't fallen off, as he could see by lack of damage, there were no police cars following you, so you must have been a good boy, ref. speeding etc. you stopped outside the test centre, emergency stop, and you could see the centre, and the tester, so your eyes are ok. Of course you passed!

More like, drivers beware Byrons thinking about getting a motorbike!

All very true.

But to set the record straight.

Bike test 2nd time
Car test 2nd time
HGV class II 1st time
HGV class I first time
PSV first time
Institute of advanced motorist’s fleet driver exam 5 off grade “A” passes on cars, 18 tonners and 32 tonners.
22+ years without an accident averaging 35000 miles per year.

Now maybe the forum could help you and my dearly beloved with the answers to a couple of mysteries that Mr B and I have been pondering. I do of course refer to the self denting BMW rear door and the disappearing front of a brand new Astra.

And on an even better note. Well done Suzanne now you can stay sober and drive dear old dad home from the pub.

Haydn you must have had the same examiner as me, exactly the same happened!

Also failed car test first time round, don't think the examiner enjoyed my attempt to demolish a pillar box.

White Van Man

The little dentlet in the BMW's rear door was nothing to do with me. I was attached by white van man.

However, I do plead guilty to purposefully driving my beetle into the back of my 1st husband's brand new Scimitar (whilst he was in it). It was far more satisfying that I anticipated it would be cos I didn't realise his car was made of fibreglass - a most gratifying feeling as the back end stove in like tissue paper and hardly a scratch on my beetle. Boy was he pissed off ;-)

Car Wrecker...

Mr B. take note of this action and act accordingly. On a similiar vein SWMBO run over my foot about six months ago. All she said was "Opps" and whilst hopping around the driveway all I could hear was short person asking "Why is Daddy dancing - let skip". I try not to let her near cars if I can.
