Anyhoo,
I started learning to drive when i was 17 but didn't like my instructor. He used to push my knee down for me to work the clutch and put his hand on mine when i was changing the gear stick, so i though he was a bit pervy.
Then my friend who was also a student of his, got a phone call asking her if she was in the shower and all sorts of stuff. Her number was ex-directory and only 15 people knew it. Then she recognised his voice. From then on i used to hide and not answer the door when he turned up for my lesson. I couldn't even speak to him to tell him i'd cancelled. Dirty perv!!
I only passed my test about 6 years later as i only needed the bus to work. Just been offered a job in Manchester City Centre and if i go for it, i can get rid of my car. That's a scary thought but think of all the money i'll have!
I'm a bloody good parker by the way, i can get where water can't!
where can't water get to?
As I mentioned elsewhere, I will learn one day. Because you need a road license to go and pay your money to drive an F1 car. 900 horsies in something that weighs less than Jordan's tits. yip Ya. Why you need a road license I do not know, because most places offering an F1 experience have cars from the mid 90's onwards.... flappy paddle gears, auto clutch, traction control (and if you get the right year's car) ABS and active suspension as well...... tard proof :D

It's a saying we have in these here parts, meaning i can park in very small spaces. Usually end up shunting somebody away

Scouse!
honest a god. my examiner was a lesbian. my instructor told me about her before the test, so I'd get on to it)
Anyway...test went well and i was pretty sure i'd passed. as we pulled in, she said i'm gonna pass you, but your mirrors weren't great. i thought she meant the mirrors were dirty, and was just about to say they weren't, when i realised she meant that i had not been looking thru my mirrors enough, especially approaching junctions. phew!!! passed!!
(Jem would have liked her -

ok i need to know this stuff just in case i ever make my pilgrimage to the north of england.
Speaking of shunting..... when I was in chicago, I TWICE seen someone shunting the car in front.... First time was someone simply enlarging a parking spot....no body cared, not an eyelid batted, and both cars being US built (hollowed out of a single block of lead) no damage was done. the second time was as a van load of Homeboys backed up aong the street to make cat calls at our flautist Cara, literally running up against and then pushing another parked car.....they were just jumping out to harass her further (hopefully, as opposed to grabbing her) when myself and 7 or 8 other largish Irish chaps walked out from the shop behind her....there were fucking sonic booms as they left.
careful when parking. i have seen this happen more than once, when someone pulls into a seemingly empty parking space at pace, only to make contact, and cause considerable damage to the car alrady there. the uncosiderable bastard had pulled in so far that his car could not be seen, from the outside of the line of parked cars. :D

Ruining lunch for some American college students and drinking a lot.

could be worse, could be a geezer sittin in a sinclair C5
A similar story of laziness for me. I originally did my theory and practical back in 2001 but failed on reversing around a corner. I actually reversed the car ok but wasn't "paying proper attention to each part of the road" or something, turned out to be a major fault. I haven't done much with driving since then and never really wanted a car while at uni because of the extra cash I'd need to run it.
I did my theory again (with the new hazard perception bit) last October and will do my second practical at some point this year. I definitely want the bloody thing out of the way this time.
Second time lucky eh?

Would that be deemed a late start in the States Frank ? Thae car seems so part of U.S. culture / life
its a very late start here, people used to think i was lying when i told them i never drove a car in my life. i never really needed it in NYC the subway or bus can take you everywhere and they are for the most part reliable so i was never a necessity for me, i got the license so i could take roadtrips upstate or to Canada
I am really quite amazed! I thought ALL of you with few exceptions would/could drive! You learn something new...... and NO is the answer to the question...I can't.

Anyone else in the same boat?
Me but I'm 25...
i know stacks of people older than me who can't drive. in liverpool or london or nyc you can get by without a car i suppose. but i also know loadsa people who drive without insurance. pray they don't get pulled or have an accident.
its freedom more than anything. like last year i drove to Penrith in the Last District. hated it coz the sun didn't shine, and was able to fuck off when i wanted.
(tart wasn't too happy though, when i left her to pack the tent up):p
I took lessons when I was sixteen, passed my test about three months after my seventeenth birthday and drove as often as I could after that. I destroyed my Dad's car a few months after passing my test. It wasn't my fault, but someone with more experience would have avoided the accident.
I'm still completely obsessed by cars and have quite a few of them. First thing Sunday I'm gonna get some more (depending on the lottery results, of course).

Yeah...You Europeans out there.don't forget the Euro Lotto tonight. £100m rollover.
i'll buy new order if i win.
I've been trying to learn for the past 18 months and I've already failed my test twice. I just get too nervous when I'm out on the road.

you're lucky. i inherited the family edsel.
