I drove for 12 months when i was 17, that was just learning, but it was with a friend, after 12 months life changed and i never drove again, was not interested, years went bye, and i decided to do my test and driving lessons, so i booked a well known school, i was fully confident, knew my highway code, always asked questions when i was 17, i liked practical not theary, what does that mean and what does this mean, and what are those to lines in the middle of the road etc etc,
Then i got in the car with the ADI, and drove for two hours, and the following week, and the following week, he use to sit there with his sunglasses on, i never got any feed back, did not know if i was doing any wrong, and this went on for three months, i was driving down the road and i droped to 20 no cars behind me, he said what have you droped to 20 for this is a 30 mile road, i said there is a boy betwwn the cars on my left hand side near the shop, and what happ the kid ran out in front of me, that ADI never said a word,he should have spotted him himself, i was burning,then there were 3 more inc, so what i did, i went into the bicycle lane at the traffic lights, and i know thats a fail if you are doing a test, the idiot never corrected me, i thought right , so i went to another well known driving school, still while i had this other ADI, i thought i will see the difference, and wow what a difference, got to the top of the road, and he pulled me over, you did not check your blind spot, i thought you will do for me man, i did four hours at a time with him, i told him give me some stick i can take it, he said you have asked for it i will give you a hard time, and by jesus, he would not let me get away with one thing, i use to cry,he said this is for your own good, when you get out there alone then this is when you will think of what i have taught you,i still had the other driver but, i droped him to one hour a week, i did not tell either driver i had them both, i was ready for my test, with driver no 2, i was out with my first driver, i said, take me to the test centre while i reverse in their carpark, while i was there i thought i was sure i had seen my second driver getting into a car, but i thought no, i was just afraid of him seeing me with another driver, my first driver said, one of the cheif examiners was in there, i said right,on my next lesson, with driver no 2, i said was you in the centre wednesday, he said cant rem, well i went in for my test got 2 minors,my second ADI said your foot controll is brilliant time passed, i had seen something in a newspaper about my 2 driver, he was an x examiner and an x cop but gave the cop up years before, i would rec him to any one,and when i drive i can hear him in my head, infinity and behond, etc etc etc,tell your son to try another school of motoring, he might get on better with another ADI
