Look out, Im about

[BenG]

Live near Brighouse,West Yorkshire?

Lookout, I had my first driving lesson tonight, and am having one on friday, so stay indoors. Lock up your homes, and leave your dogs in the shed, I cant work the brake properly yet, so I come to a rolling stop, regardless of 'obstacles'

I can do clutch control though, stupid me, I can do complex stuff, but not the easy hehe.

[BenG]

This means I can race off road more.

Where can I go on a saturday to do 2wd? Thanks

[Chrislong]

Oh no, you sound dangerous!

But don't worry, you don't wear a skirt so I have no doubt that the skill is in you.

Plus, you don't have to be female to wear skirts... I know all about your skirt-wearing weekend fetishes Mr Long!

[telboy]

I got some REALLY nice flowery lacy black leggings the other day. They look awesome with my Miss Selfridge dress.

And PS - I'm a good driver! And all the people I've ever been cut up by have been.... MEN!!

What about all the dents on your car? are they just 'love taps' you have given people when parking (when i say parking i mean abandoning the car between two white lines!)

that is what bumbers were invented for....you dont need the middle pedal just the clutch and the loud pedal

Being a weathered veteran of 3 years of school runs, I can officialy say, most women don't understand about parking.

If there is a big gap, for two cars..... please PLEASE park one end or another, so we can BOTH park there.... not in the middle.

No matter HOW FAR you get your wheels up on the pavement, parking on the corner of a junction just isn't right.

Yes, you can give way to oncoming traffic

No, kerbing isn't for telling you, you are close enough to the kerb....

And Ben, thank fook I live this far away.... got enough learners round by me as it is...

[Col]

DCM, I work near an army training barracks that teaches them to drive cars, then small trucks, then big trucks. The barracks employ 10 full time car instructors, 80(!) 7.5tonne trucks and 20 HGV's. Going down one particular stretch of 1-2 mile road today, there were no fewer than 22 learner vehicles! It's a nightmare

[emzy]

My best friend, not the most confident / sensible of drivers... she purposely parks in the middle of two spaces when parking at the side of a street, just so she has plenty of room... I go MAD about it.

And schools are TERRIFYING. Its bad enough trying to get out of the school car park (especially with the 600 Year 12s who've suddenly passed their tests early). Then I take my friend home, and when leaving her estate I go past a primary school... at 3.30...there's people just abandoning their cars in the MIDDLE of the road a few metres from a main junction... its scary!

I'm a bit obssessive about perfect parking to be fair. Mainly because Dad ridicules me if I don't do it right!

[LiamD]

My parking is quite poor on roads, due to having rather expensive wheels with stretched tyres, I park a mile from the kerb! I have a thing about always reversing into parking bays, I hate to look at my car from behind so I always reverse in.

Most learner drivers I see aren't too bad. Everyone takes the mickey, but we all had to do it at some point.
