Just for the record, I first drove at 11 years old, had my first car at 16 and still failed my first test, my instructor didn't let me drive his car, in fact I am sure he wanted to hit me with it
Well, what would you have expected him to do? Although he was a great and dedicated instructor, I don't know if he would have the skill to take it much further. And if he could, he should offer if seperately, after the test. If he's taken me through what's deemed satisfactory to pass a test and be a legal driver, then I should take the test, and any desire to learn further should be made as offerings after I had passed. Isn't that how IAM and RoSPA work as well?
