The biggest thing to watch is your speed, if an examiner catches you over you will fail instantly. O and to always watch your mirrors, but don't move your eyes, move your head. The test is piss.

Well done Ash, that sort of award takes some doing. My pleasure is doubled - after reading your post about your driving exploits, I also realise I don't live anywhere near you!!!
