My girlfriend failed 3 tests over a 8 yr period then I got her a bannger and tought her myself, this included me driving her banger as I normaly would drive a car and giving her a note book and pen so she could point out all the mistakes I had made ( deliberate or not ) and learn from the experiance, she also had a couple of mock tests with an instrcutior and finaly passed
The bannger was totaly road legal so before it died I tought her how to hand break turn and some other fun manouvers
we also did some motorway stuff lane dicipline blind spots getting on getting off aproach speed etc.
15 yrs ago I passed my test 1st time with only 7 lessons, how ?
I did realy well until the examiner forgot we were in a dual controll car streached out her legs and hit the brakes and clutch realy hard, I managed to indicate check mirrors and pull the car to the kerb in about 5 seconds, she was so flusterd she spent the remailder of the test chatting at me and missed a few mistakes I would have failed on.
Needless to say when she told me I'd passed I put all thoughts of taking the matter of the dual controlls and their impropper use any further out of my mind
