Well done to LR who passed this lunch time with 7 driver faults.
It's come at a good time, seeing as she is currently going through the final stages of redundancy, and being able to drive means she can expand her private business if she has to.
It's also a standing joke that she is (or was) my longest serving pupil. Initially, her mum bought her 12 hours of lessons, and she managed to eke these out for ages. She was in a low-paid job at the time, and when she got a better one things kicked off again, but then stopped as she started doing a lot of overtime.
She kept telling me that she would start again soon. She had a few more lessons, then stopped again. I remember asking her why, and she said she couldn't afford it. Then, there was this classic text exchange:
Me: What happened to all that money you were getting from overtime?
She: Shoes, shopping, handbags.
Anyway, she started up again a few months ago and this time finished it off. She admitted that she had to get the pubbing and clubbing out of her system while she was young.
And I nearly forgot: independent driving section no problem whatsoever. She asked for confirmation, apologised for doing so, and the examiner laughed and said "don't worry about it".
