I remember my Grandad telling me about his driving test....
He was in the Army and it was a LONG time ago!
Anyway, He and another guy went to pick up some army big wig from a pad in the sticks. They were waiting and the guy said he can issue driving licenses. He asked if my Grandad had one, he didn't. He asked if he wanted a license so obviously my Grandad said yes. The guy said 'turn the car around' so he did. Hitting a big potted plant, the only obstacle around. The guys said 'good enough' so he got his license!
My Grandad was actually a brilliant road user, he gave me a lot of advice when I was learning.
