Default How many attempts to pass your Driving test?
Just thought it would be intersting to see how many times it took everyone.

As per another thread, the best drivers pass second time IMO



Cookie - 2nd

Bike - First time in Ipswich on a GT Continental Royal Enfield 250cc. In the days of yonder when they made proper bikes. When men were men & women were grateful.



Car - First time in Chelmsford in a driving school boring something-or-another.
