ashmicro Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 That reminds me - a former colleague Pete Coleman knocked down a Policeman in Belfast during his test - and passed! It was a pissing wet day, and the copper was standing in the middle of May Street directing traffic as the lights were out. He had his back to Pete, and as Pete approached the cop stepped backwards to avoid being splashed by a van coming the other way. The mirror of the car Pete was driving hit the cop on the arse. Despite the inevitable delay, Pete passed, and is a very careful driver to this day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skizzer Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Can't compete with either of those. I did rip the back bumper off a Maxi on my first car test (failed on use of the brakes, even though I was stationary at the time and he hit me) and exceeded the speed limit by 50% on my bike test (passed).

Richard Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 I lost the examiner on my bike test. He'd fallen behind so he told me to pull into the left, but I turned left instead. That was the point where I thought I'd blown it and was much more relaxed for the remainder of the test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlo Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Took my first test in this very car, 29 years ago. Examiner was too fat to get in comfortably, which probably didn't help my cause. Passed second time round in a '77 Renault 5GTL. Well remember my first unaccompanied drive, just like boobydoo. What a thrill! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave7 Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Plymouth Turismo rather like this. Passenger seat was broken and the rather large lady doing doing the testing thought she broke the seat. I didn't correct her so probably passed on guilt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parky Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 "D" Reg 1 litre Micra. White with brown interior. Passed first time out in June 1990 although I thought I had failed when my emergency stop nearly threw the instructor through the windscreen!

cms206 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Started lessons in my uncle's Land Rover Series III (SKS 801N), took some lessons with BSM in a Corsa 1.0 (KN53 GFO) which had no handbrake, had an arguement, eventually passed car test in AA Ford Focus 1.6 Ghia BC53 CXJ. "First car" was a motability car for my mother, Focus 1.6 Zetec auto SJ54 NZF before I then ruined it all and bought a Rover 414SLi (M497 KVP) which got torched. Did my initial PSV driving assessment in a 12m ex Skills Plaxton-bodied Dennis Javelin (L31 ORC, now deceased) before passing second time in ex MOD 10m Dennis Javelin N188 RGD.

Stroller133 Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Not this one, but similar, it was just an 'S' base model, 1.2 or 1.4 can't remember? It seemed to have very modern and almost futuristic styling at the time, I bet theres not many left now. It was a bit clinical to drive if I think back, not inspired me to drive one since.
