UK Driver's License, it can be done.
« on: February 17, 2004, 11:50:31 AM »
Tho it's a big bloody hassle, and costs too much money.  :P

Be that as it may, I've passed my practical test, and after I send off yet more money (£12.00) and my old license, I should receive my new license.

:)

I passed on Thorsday the 12th.  ;)  

I was at the Ashford, Middx centre.  (Apparently I missed some strikes by a week or so...)

And I took the manual tranny test.  ;D

Congrats Mrs Kev!!!  :D

wench

And I've just bought my first manual (or brand new for that matter...) car!

Yeah you two!!!  Congrats.  I have been so resentful of taking the test I ma selling my car and have vowed never to drive in this country again (irrational, I know, but I am just to poor at the mo' and would rather be angry than depressed)

Congrats!!

Just wait until you see the insurance prices they quote, since you're a *new* driver!  :O
