Well done!!
It's a great feeling to be out driving. even if you do have your mum sat alongside!!
I was a bit crafty and actually took my driving test on my 17th birthday so I didn't have to have a co-pilot!!!

I don't remember my 17th at all. Let's just say that there was none of this having to do a theory test or not being able to tow a trailer!

17... that would have been 1983...

Oh God - I'm old.

Well done that man - good on you. Take it easy - one thing I do remember is what my driving was like when I was 17!

LOL - know the feeling. Ive never towed in my life but iirc can do something very large totally legally.

Its great being able to drive legally - especially with BMW powered locost in the garage. Happy Birthday and congrats on passing test stage 1. Was this the bit where tester thumbs through book and pics out 3 or 4 pages and asks you random Q's about stopping distances etc.
