When I got home from work she had much delight waiving the test paper in front of my nose. Especially the bit where the examiner wrote on her paper "A very good driver".

Upon closer inspection of said paper I pointed out what he had writtrn in the small print "Not a bad shag either".

Oh well, after 2.5 years of virtual T-Totalling my time has come ........bring on the stupor

Took a while to sink in to be honest - its been such a long time comin' - wondered if I'd ever get there!

The examiner was great - I was lucky to have such a nice guy, he was so relaxed and helped me relax and I PASSED because of it I think - my nerves just vanished - part of me, believe it or not, actually enjoyed the test - now I know I must be going a bit MAD! Well you lot know that already dont you living with BIX

Anyway, good luck to anyone else abt to take their driving test - hope you have a lovely examiner like me

Arguments have already started about whos gonna have the car and it was BIX who insisted I start driving again - so guess what folks.............he can ...............

G'day everybody

Thks guys and gals!

Made me laugh this morning when reading your replies - good fun eh!!

Thats one of the main things BIX thought abt, I can drive home so he can have a drink!! Mind you, like I said, its been a long time comin so perhaps he deserves it eh! I'll just have to get p......d at home

I think deep down BIX is slightly worried that I will be too 'independent' now I can drive - selves his right thats all I can say - he he

Have a good weekend guys

Thks again for your kind congratulations - means a lot.

Right - off to take Bix to work now and have the car all day............you know thats not gonna happen right

by the time it come to home time we men have had a few beers or a few to many which ever way you want to read it therefor on the way home we are relaxed and therfor any of your stupid manouvres youmake dont seem just as bad and we reckon you are doing well

Now before all you woman jump on me head listen carefully

I'm just so bloody relieved I dont have to worry abt the driving test anymore - its made my year!!

It does amaze me though that generally men think they are the 'better drivers', some are really confident which I think a lot of woman - including myself, take a bit longer to achieve but, there are just as many 'bad' male drivers as there are 'woman' - I witness it everyday. I am NOT jumping down your throat, just dont feel the need, only stating facts.

You will not rain on my parade

Have a nice day - and safe driving whether you be a man or woman - that is the main objective

Hi

You mean you have got a full UK drivers licence yeah? It is complicated and has been discussed on here many times. I will answer your question more efficiently if you can give me an idea which state you will be living in once in Australia, and what sort of driving license you have now???

OK?

Cheers
