Today one of our Ashford Driving Instructing Jasons popped by with a massive Thorntons Easter Egg - thank you Jason! And then our new instructor Wayne (aforementioned flowers and chocolates bringer) brough a Creme Eggs Easter Egg! I am so happy I am chasing my mettyforical tail. I shall eat all of them myself and then feel a bit sick, but it will be so worth it.
Aside from exciting chocolate, he also brought news - according to the Daily Mail, the pass age is going up from 17 years to 18. We can say catagorically that this is naughty fibs. It's staying at 17; for the time being at least. Driving Instructor for Folkestone Andy was in the office at the time, and as he cynically pointed out, "Isn't the Daily Mail the same paper that said the Pass Plus cost in excess of £300" (it doesn't) "and that a new radical addition to the test is the reversing round a corner manouever?" (an addition so new and so radical that I did it on my test 7 years ago)
To sum up, if you're 17 years old you can take your test (assuming you're ready and your theory is passed, of course), you will have to complete a reverse round the corner, just like I had to many many moons ago, and once you've passed if you'd like to take your Pass Plus (which is recommended as it reduces insurance costs and makes you a safer driver) it will cost half as much as the good old Daily Mail claims.
