A few months ago, Jim pointed out the slightly scary fact that he, a qualifed driver who had not driven a car for the best part of 20 years, could legally get into a car and drive on the motorway – whereas I, a learner who drove ever week, could not.
Now, finally I can. I passed the practical test this morning, with four minor faults, and am now ready to enter the world of pain that is car insurance, MOT certificates, road tax, “no claims”, fuel tax…
I might stick with walking for a while longer. At least until they give me a company car.
w00t.
well done old bean. i shall keep my bike to the pavements for the next few months until you’ve ‘knocked the rough edges off’ your newly learned skill…
…perhaps an unfortunate choice of phrase there…
