My son......I have to tell him to slow down each time.......:eek:, he will be 22 this year, and I know this is an issue with that age group, not saying they are all the same, but "boy racers"........:eek:.

Personally I think they should move the licence age up to at least 18, there are too many young drivers on the roads, its just scary now.:o

I am pleased to say my results came through clear......phew........another 3 years before the next test.:T:T

I waited 6 weeks for the results.

I am a born worrier.......:o, glad to get these ones out of the way, now on to the others now, that will be next Monday.......another ECG, which I do get very nervy about, and each time my heart races, but a lot of this is to do with my dad, as he was always having these and it just brings back memories, still best to get them all done.;)

Thank you honey. :AXXX

Personally i think you should not be able to take driving lessons untill you are 21, and a retest should be taken every 10 years.In my neighbours case he did not even have to take a test or lessons ! that was how it was in those days.The rate and flow of vehicles on the road now is scary, dont know how he drove in this day and age. and drinking and smoking should be raised to 21 also.

Yes totally agree with you.

They are too young these days...........and too old, a restest I think is a must, not saying they should charge them each time for this, but for the life of the others it should be done.
