Member advice on Passing your Driving Theory Test

Advantages: The people at the test centre make you feel like a criminal (always wanted to know what that was like)
Disadvantages: Being forced to fill out all the fields above even though they are utterly pointless

Miss Dutton-Taylor sat before me sporting her unusually large chin and attempting to intimidate me with disapproving looks. As she shook her head in disgust hypnotically swaying her Jimmy Hill/ Bruce Forsyth sized body part, I stifled a giggle that did not go unnoticed. It was at this point that I was advised not to return to Allerton Grange High to retake my A-levels and further to this, it was suggested that I take up a career in refuse collection ...

Advantages: Makes sure you're safe!
Disadvantages: Tests!!!

Advantages: I Can Help You To Prepare!
Disadvantages: It's just going to get harder and harder and harder.....

Once upon a time, when all those ...
...failing this took it, they actually used pen and paper. It was a nice n’ easy at your own pace multiple choice sheet.

I always hoped to find an instructor who did this kind of thing for ... Read review
