    Passed in June 1970 in the driving school Austin 1100 after six lessons at 18/6d each.
    Compare that to the total cost well in excess of a grand for forty-odd lessons each to get my two kids through in 2005 and 2007 respectively. Both of them are probably better drivers than me, but it simply isn’t possible to do it the way we did these days

    I remember passing my driving test in my Isetta, that gave me a motorcycle license. The next year I passed an ordinary car test, it must have been in my Dad's Austin 1100, but I have virtually no recollection of that.

    I did my first test after three lessons at £2.50 each but failed. Had to fork out for another six before I finally passed!

    Meanwhile the lad is now 20 been taking lessons for a year, took him six goes just for the theory test, he kept missing by one mark.

    I passed my bike test in 1981 on my Honda CB100N. It was a miserable foggy day and the examiner was a grumpy little Hitler in a Pak-a-mac running around the streets to see what I was doing. My mates clubbed together to buy some reflective gear and clear visors for their crash helmets, they all passed first time and made great store that I would fail in my black leather jacket and tinted visor, oh how I mocked them when I also passed first go and not dressed like a licorice allsort.
