I think it's pretty good thing to exist. With a car you need to do the
handling test before you're allowed to drive within traffic (so called
B-card). I've also done BE (normal car with a heavy trailer) and A
(motorcycle) and they both demanded the handling test just before the
traffic test, so the training in traffic (demanded for motorcycle) is
allowed to be done even before the handling test. Luckily the driver
acadamy I drove the A-card in was a good one and checked that I can
handle even the basics of the cycle before entering traffic.

So you're saying we shouldn't ride in a car you're driving? ;-)

LOL, sounds like you and my mate Tim (up in Edinburgh) have some similar
stories to share. :-)

Yes indeed. ;-)

The driver of the airport shuttle. ;-)

I suppose a Morangie would be a touch out of the price range. ;-) Though
I'm not sure that Tim can have that, though - he was a member of CAMRA
(he may well still be), but he's got a severe gluten allergy that
prevents him from actually drinking ale. There's probably not enough in
Scotch Whisky to be a problem for him, but we might also be advised to
bring port, just in case. ;-)
