Default Anyone in Chester now beware!!!!!!

Mrs ex vauxhall is taking her driving test now!
She's failed one already, and judging by the way the car kangarood away from the house I'm guessing the examiner is in for a real treat this afternoon!

She's in a little corsa with Red driving school .

Watch out, you have been warned!

I trust that when (if?) she does pass, you won't ever be her passenger?

Been there, done that, I gave up trying to teach her 3 years ago, and she has now gone through 3 different instructors!

I teach class 1 Hgv so like to think I have some patience, but unfortunately some people are never destined to drive, and I think she's one of them

When you say "...she's now gone through 3 different instructors..."..................?!?!

Perhaps that's why she keeps failing; deliberately dragging it out.

She failed mate
Although it was a bit harsh really, spoke to her instructor after the test, she was coming up to a junction on a dual carriageway, practically ontop of the traffic lights when they changed to red.
She went through, as she thought she was too close to stop as there was a car close behind, and he marked her down as a dangerous fault.
Had she stopped he could probably have marked her down for the same thing as the car was close behind!

Instructor said it was a lose lose situation, so another test booked!
But hey it's only another 100 quid

Yeah totally Agree mate, but on this test having failed on a previous occasion she took her instructor with her.
He sat in the back, wasn't allowed to say anything or interfere but could observe.
I spoke to him when they got back and he said the examiner was really harsh, if she had stopped for the lights she would have been at least one full car length over the stop line and would have blocked the junction,

Another one booked now, and will,let you all know when to stay off the road again

Send her on a skid control course and/or IAM after she's been driving for a bit, especially if she is talking scoob.
A woman who went on the same skid control course as I did (when I was much younger!!) was forced to do so by her partner as she was banned from his Focus RS until she did some training. I completely agree.

The only skids that need controlling mate are the ones in my pants, she's going nowhere near my car, I've hidden the spare key, and the main key will be with me at all times
