Thank you Anne4Terry and KatieStar! Yup, no flies on you Vegemite Kids!!!
Every now and then last night I'd say to Barina Boy (Mr Logan), 'did I mention I passed my driving test?!'
Soooo we'll just have to wait and see how he gets along today or tomorrow when he sits it.

Congratulations what a feat passing it before Mr Logan!!!!!!!

How much does it cost each time to sit the theory test? And how long do you get on your UK license?

Hiya Lynn,

It costs about $15.00 and you can attempt to sit it once a day. The book to study is about $10.00 but you can have ours if you want, (I'm sure we'll meet up soon enough!) You get 3 months grace on your UK licence! But don't leave it till the last minute!!!! like us!!

logan

Barina Boy passed his test. Yes Mr Logan passed as well and is now legally driving around in his little Barina...although is anyone really legal driving that thing!!! All I can say is, thank god I passed it first!
