Unfortunately I'm one of the exceptions, not proud, just experience talking,
Passed test in January 93, banned August 93,
18th birthday, and my drinks were spiked, by friends who thought I was staying over

:doh, that is the truth!!!
So went to court, pleaded, still got ban, mates paid my fine, and ferried me for length of ban.
When I got licence back my insurance for a mk1 golf gti was £1200 in mums name with me as a named driver
But now I also don't drink, or smoke just enjoy life, kids and cars now, too old for the hangovers and chucking up:naughty
