Any chance she can take it on behalf of my missus?

while mw wife was driving for a year on her internatoinl license, she drove more than 8000 miles, and not 1 problem, also she had must have been 30-40 lessons.

i wasn't going to say this, as i will be dead if she ever reads this, she has never failed an exam in her life, until she took her practical driving test, took her 7 times.. , shes not told her mom, becuase shes too embarrassed it took her so many times...

well most of it was just bad luck, worse she had was 2 majors, mostly just 1 major that cost her a fail, some of her 1 fails was

stuck behind a tractor, yes a farmer in Manchester !!!, he indicated to her to overtake him, but she was coming to a turning in a road and took too long, so she got a major.

another time for going too slow , i know your suppose to go show the examiner you can handle the car near to the speed limit, but how can you judge this one. slow for how long,??

another time, turning right into a one way street, she turned from the left side of the road, and not the right side, cost her a fail.

another time, at a mini round about, she stopped at it to let a guy at the junction to her right go, she signalled him to go, he didnt move, about 10 seconds later she moved on to the around about , and so did he at the same time, and got a fail for it.

but come monday, all was going good til she came a round about, and some lunatic speeding nearly crashed into her, the examiner told her it wasn't her fault, and to take a break for a few mins, knee knocking , she carried on and at the end, the examiner told her she passed
so respect to her for not quitting, a fearless filipina .. proud she didn't , now she can go and paint the gutters
