Well done!!

Great for you, it's never too late. When I passed my test, mid twenties, couldn't afford the driving lessons before then, I found driving off by myself for the first time a truly liberating experience. I wish you lots and lots of carefree driving. As the weather is gorgeous at the moment, get the windows down and feel the wind in your hair. Congratulations smile

Very well done indeed. To my mind it was the most difficult thing I ever did. The freedom it gives you is unparalleled though.

Well done, I thought I would never get it right (think I still don't and am so glad that there was no parallel parking when I took my test).

Today I'm almost bursting with happiness ... at the advanced age of 57 I actually passed my driving test this morning!

I tried at almost 40, failed my first test and gave up, so this time I came home from the 2 failed tests and re-booked right away, plus used a cancellation service to get quick re-tests. Mostly I'm ecstatic not to have to hear the Pink Panther theme tune (indicating texts from them) on my phone! grin

Just proves that nothing is impossible! smile
