So did mine - I had a friend visiting from England who had never
experienced one of those before, and he "freaked out" a little bit when
the belt started moving....

As I said, I’ve dined out on it for years LOL
It is true and I was slightly stunned afterwards, I felt that I didn’t
get a proper test. Add that to only having had two driving lessons and
one was two years before, the other was just to familiarise myself with
the car I was taking the test in. I feel as if I should take some more
as I get older and more responsible.

deleted, and thus not getting the free advertisement :P
