I went out on a job to a country lane near the small town of
Dalton-in-Furness when I got there it was a driving school car which had broken
down miles from anywhere. The two passengers wanted to go to the Driving Test
Centre and they explained that one was a driving test examiner and the other
was actually taking his test when they had broken down. Well this was a first
for me but I guess it does happen now and then, funny thing was that I felt a
bit nervous with a driving examiner in the back of the cab and found myself
driving as if I was on some sort of test myself. When we got back to the test
centre the driving school instructor, who owned the car was waiting
outside and you should have seen his face when his pupil and the examiner got
out of the cab, he must have been thinking that his car had been wrecked. I
ended up driving the instructor and the pupil home after that and the
instructor was telling me that it was going to work out rather expensive for
him as they are self-employed like us and like us no car no work, which means
no income.

I know how you feel, Bob. My son has his learner's license and I am teaching him how to drive. The other day I was driving and he commented that I had not given a signal at the last turn! Now I feel like I better drive properly all the time - I am being watched!
