Learning to drive.

Speedy · 05-10-2007, 08:14

Has anyone ever used one those places that say you can get your licence after a week of intense training? If so where they any good, and also on the application form for provisional it says i need a professional who has known me for at least 2 years, who can i use because i cant think of anyone. Thanks in advance.

i would like to learn, but there is too many stupid drivers on the road, .....white van drivers, taxis, ...etc.....so im not going to bother, i would get done for road rage!

What? you need to be vetted for a driving license???? When did they sneak that one in?????

mez · 05-10-2007, 09:24

well i never !!! i never gave that a thought , unless its like with the passport photo's you have to prove that its you on the d/licence ?

Speedy · 05-10-2007, 10:21

Yeah you need a professional person to fill out part of the form to say its your photo. The problem i have though is my doctor will do it but charges a 35pound administration fee, which is pretty much the same as the cost of the provisional so i really dont want to have to pay for him for doing it lol.

Could your employer not sign the form.

Speedy · 06-10-2007, 22:02

Only been working there for 2months so i dont think it would work.

How come a Christian Science practitioner is in that list? What's wrong with other religions?

Is a strange one isn't it Willow, but does state further down, Minister of a recognised religion. Perhaps Christian Science isn't a 'recognised' religion, but considered worthy nevertheless. Am I making sense? Perhaps its the word 'Practitioner' .. not Ministers ...

Speedy .. surely one of your ex-teachers would oblige ?

Jae Swift · 05-11-2007, 10:17

Lol, his teachers probably won't remember him.

Isn't that right!? lol

LYNX1 · 05-11-2007, 14:45

There are a lot on that list that you wouldn't think of.........I didn't realise there were so many to choose from.
