I’ve not had a test for several weeks now, so well done to Louise, who passed with 8 driver faults today. That puts my pass rate for the year even higher now – about 80% from around 30 tests. It also means everyone (except for one) who has taken a test this year has now passed.
This was the pupil with the talking/concentration problem and mouthful of chewing gum I mentioned a week or two ago. Still, at least we won’t be falling out any more over why rolling back on hills is still bad, even when no one is behind you (and you hadn’t looked BEFORE you did it). Or looking for your rogue chewing gum whilst in the middle of doing a turn in the road is wrong, even if you AREN’T doing it in the middle of the A52 (and people WERE waiting at the time).
A few months ago I had someone whose test pass made me feel like I might have opened Pandora’s box lid a little too wide and let something out. As I said to Louise, this time I felt like I’d taken a pee in the box, shaken it up, dropped it off a high building, and THEN opened the lid completely. And I’m sure I heard a peal of thunder from a clear blue sky about 30 seconds after you came back to the test centre and that big smile appeared on your face. Joking, of course!
