I took three tests to pass. I was literally shaking like a leaf as I handed over my provisional licence before each test.

On my third test, the examiner pulled me to one side (that is not in a Carry On sense) and told me to calm down, slow down into corners and then speed up. I thought I'd failed but he passed me. When I told my instructor afterwards of this he suggested I was very lucky and that the instructor must have got the fuck of his life the night before.

Six months later I had my first crash. Doh!


Mr McGee, don't make me angry. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry.

I've only just passed and came within an inch of having a head on collision . Some twit was on my side of the road as I went round the corner and I had to emergency stop and mount the pavement to avoid him as we were both going about 50mph. Was very scary and left me quite shaken. He didn't even stop though, sharp object.

Ah, another gay Fishy member outs themselves.

If a twat was on my side of the road, then the last thing I'd do is mount the pavement...

Ha, okay then an inconsiderate driver. Is that better?

Yes I did, 5 minors


Sounds like Michael Jackson to me  


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

Well, I get to the test center in confident mood. I have had my KALMS and they are working. Nobody knows i'm here, pressure is off. Good confident lesson before hand. I'm going to pass, this confidence is boosted by the bloke renound for being a decent examiner. Drive out the test center and through the dual carrigeway and towards town. I'm flipping nailing everything I do. This is what I failed on, note at the time i didn't know. It didnt even cross my mind.

Turning left into a tight corner with cars restricting my view. I go round, edging around. I couldve looked through cars to try and see but then wouldve been sticking out in the road. So I go round, a taxi is right infront of me. So I put on my brakes, not a full stop, just well judged I thought. I failed doing that.

Didn't even cross my mind that, that was it. I did a poor reverse round corner, getting a minor. This set my nerves off, I had a moment to compose and stalled for the first time in months. Composed myself and set about passing. Drove brilliantly after that. Got to the test center and did my bay park. Thinking "Do this and you've passed Lewis" Composed myself, and got into that space like a pro. YES! Passed, easy passed.

"Im sorry to tell you, you've failed"

4 Minors.

Im gutted, at least my mates dont know!
