ca_gere Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 I busted my ass to learn to drive when I was 23 because everyone else I knew had a license since they were 17 and I always felt like Jonny passenger seat. Passed my test on the 3rd attempt with a wallet thousands of pounds lighter. I could count the number of times i've driven since on one hand. Well maybe two hands but still, waste of money for me. I do feel significantly cooler/harder but that's it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonade Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 I passed when I was 17. It was much cheaper back then but then that was 15 fucking years ago. I think I was £15 an hour and I took about 20 lessons, plus costs of tests etc. Prob about £400 all in. Passed first time, it was also the first year of the theory test, which was a piece of piss back then as well.What is the correct sequence of lights on a traffic light?Red - red/orange - green - orange - red?Red - green - Red - green - red?Red - blue - purple - green - orange - red?Was one of the questions. I did all my studying for it on the bus to the testing centre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paime Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 I've taken my test 4 times and passed it twice - 50% pass rate. Like. A. Boss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I passed first time, having only had about 2 lessons in the two years before my test. Having a car is awesome. I just drive around beeping at sluts and generally being great. If I want to go to Glasgow to visit some pals, I just drive there. It only takes 2 hours these days, since they got the new roads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(unless it was a bus test the second time)EDIT: Oh, Moose probably answered.I passed first time, because I got a fucking easy test. Turn in the road as the one manoeuvre? Thank you very much!

Moose Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 Yeah, I wasn't really ready for mine but luckily it was during the school lunchtime and I had to go 20 everywhere. You can't go wrong at 20mph. Plus the test manny loved The Dons, so we just chatted about that. 1 minor for saying "what's coolant" when asked how to check my coolant and two for being a bit too much of a mad bastard. I did it in my Mum's Citreon Picasso. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(unless it was a bus test the second time)EDIT: Oh, Moose probably answered.I passed first time, because I got a fucking easy test. Turn in the road as the one manoeuvre? Thank you very much!I passed my test 3rd time lucky when i was 17 and then got caught doing 108.4mph in a 70mph limit in my 1.2 Renault Clio. I had to go to court, was banned for 9 months, got a £350 fine and had to resit the practical test again at the end of it.It was right before i went to uni so my first year turned into a disgusting boozefest, even more so than it would've been otherwise. I then sat my test again and passed first time. It was a pretty crappy time in my life and as much as i feel i was dealt with too severely i can only blame myself at the end of the day. Insurance was tough for 5 years afterwards and then it came off my record. I would like to say i've learned my lesson but i now have 8 points on my licence through two seperate speeding offences.In short, im a terrible person.

paime Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 So is excessive speeding.Disagree. Inappropriate use of speed is a turd's game. I don't shred past schools and nursing homes, only on wide open roads with no traffic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keeno Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 Does R&B have any Laney heads in stock? I fancy trying the IRT60. I know they use headstock distribution so they can order them for customers, but I don't remember seeing any beside the other heads for demo. If not I will just wait til I head back to Edinburgh and hope a shop there has them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
