What's the stopping distance at 70 miles per hour?
Since I passed my test I have never reversed around a corner, done a parallel park or a three point turn. I just drive in a straight line and hope for the best. |

There's no point in stopping at 70, you'll only get blamed for summat.
I want a triumph stag and racing goggles. |

Funny - I am another old git belatedly learning to drive, and every time it starts to piss me off (quite a lot) that line from Ride The Tiger about not needing/wanting a "fuel-infected car" goes through my head...
Congratulations.

why now?
i've been thinking of maybe starting to think about getting round to arranging to start having lessons for a long time, but haven't haven't quite yet. waiting at bus stops in winter is miserable, but maybe less than learning to drive in birmingham would be. |

Well done Martin.
Driving is great fun. I especially like driving round London at night, you can get anywhere in 10 mins, it's great. Shame cars cost so much though, I blame not being able to even think about buying a house on having a car soaking up all my money.
I drove to Rome recently with my girlfriend, it was amazing, we drove over the alps and all the way to the Med! Crazy!

if I could just drive through the countryside or empty roads and never need to park I'd be fine, but after failing twice I realised I was never going to be a driver in London.
Well done, old man!
