Nice one!

I'm guessing that the driving test in England is more difficult than here in the US; most people pass on the first time out here -- and they're idiots!!

Congratulations!

It is certainly a useful thing to have against your name - opens up lots of new avenues! :)

Well done :drink:

nice work, tom!

I passed mine first time, but I think it got quite a bit harder just after I passed (teeheehee!)- I passed mine about 7 odd years ago- and we were allowed unlimited minor faults, if I remember correctly, as long as you didn't have 3 or more in any one section (checking mirrors being an example of a section). We also didn't have to do parking in a car park, that again was introduced pretty soon after I did mine.

Am I right in thinking that you fail now if you get something like 15 minor errors, nomatter which section it is?

so yeah, I guess I'm trying to say, well done, tom, and as far as I know, most people don't pass it first time now, as they did when I did it- I think there was a clean run of 12 in front of me who passed (EDIT: at my school), so I was cacking it when I did mine, lol- though it later came out that someone hadn't told people that they'd been doing their test, and had failed...

Nice work, tom! It's awesome being able to drive. now you have to start doing laps of your local town centre...

:D
