Tinkerbell
I learned to drive in and around Forest Hill in the early 70's, and took my test around Blackheath. I only had 12 lessons and passed 1st time, as I also did for my Motor Cycle Test.
I have never (touch wood) been involved in an accident so I think I had a pretty good instructor, and consider myself a good driver.
I was taught to drive defensively, not aggressively as seems to be the modern way, from what my son tells me of his recent driving lessons.
