hours, subjectively. That test was over before we had driven to where 
the testing normally takes place. I really thought that I had failed it 
before it had started.
  I also missed out, to improve the story, that I had been riding a 
motorbike for about five years and driving a car illegally without a 
licence for a year. I was also brought up in a fire station so I had no 
fear of fire engines.

Hopefully as part of an exercise and not because it was an unplanned 
situation?
