1963 My second driving test. Passed.
This was in Peterborough which laid (sp?) claim then, to being one of the few English towns without traffic lights, which may have helped. This time I'd been adequately prepped it seemed and, using the school's Wolsey Hornet (an up-market Mini), I passed. It was a hot, sunny day I remember and that, coupled with my extreme nervousness, saw me emerge from the car t the end of the test quite sweat-soaked. Funny what you remember. Each lesson had seen me collected from, and returned to, R.A.F. Cottesmore by the instructor, I thoroughly enjoyed those lessons. There was more novelty then in car driving/owning than there is now. SO now I was loose on England's roads with my Tahiti-blue Morris Mini Minor.
