The Mrs passed her test!!

[AlexD333]

So after my expert tuition, kim booked on for her 5 day Intensive course with test on the Friday.

Now most people have loads of training first... Her nephew spent a year having lessons first... Not kim

Test yesterday at 14:30 had to do emergency stop and 3 point turn, stalled twice due to nerves and was slightly hesitant of the whizzing school mums but only 5 minors

Insurance is set on the little ka now...

Oh...
And she can also drive the Terrano :sly

[don simon]

Excellent stuff, it's a great relief to pass. Congratulations.

 

[iansjones]

Well done.

Well Alex, pass on my congratulations to Kim.
Remind her, the real learning is about to begin.:thumb2


Just a quick question to all other well seasoned drivers, when was the last time you read the highway code?

I picked up a copy a couple of years ago, and there were a few changes, mostly to road markings, white hash lines in particular.

So a quick quiz..
where would you see cat's eyes of the following colours...?
White
Red
Amber
Green

at a guess I'd say that red on the offside (outside of outside lane motorway/dual carriageway)
White on the central divide of between carriage ways
Amber (total guess) slip roads or lay by.
Green the nearside limit of the carriageway (motorway/dual carriageway) before you go offroading
I had this on my motorbike test some 20+ years ago and got myself confused and answered incorrectly, this resulted in a few nerves and more incorrect highway code answers. I passed but was told to brush up on the Highway Code.

Oh there have been a lot of changes over last few years, zig zags on crossings is one that has changed dramatically, as have parking rules, etc, I keep an up to date copy and try to look over it regularly, cos memory is not what it was, Rick

10 important benefits of having a wife that can drive.

The most important benefits for having a wife that can drive...

1 When you go out for the evening, share the driving... YOU drive there lol.. :augie
2 When you run out of beer at home... she can nip out to the off licence or supermarket.
3 When the kids want picking up from a late event, she can pick them up, and you can have a drink
4 When you phone for a takeaway, she can pick it up, and you can have a drink.
5...

You can see where this is going...

Oh and 10, when you have a replacement shoulder operation, and you can't drive, she can pick you up from the hospital, and take you to the pub.

Alex, this should change your family life lol...
