1. Famous Driving Tests

   Posted on 11:11am Monday 18th Oct 2010

   POP teen JUSTIN BIEBER has told how he cried like a baby after failing his driving theory test.

   The Canadian singer, 16, refused to get into his mum's car after flunking the exam - preferring to walk home in the rain and sulk on his own.

   Super-confident Justin had expected to breeze through the test and earn a driver's licence.

   That would have allowed him to get behind the wheel of his 16th birthday present - a Range Rover given to him by his mentor, RnB star USHER.

   But the teenager, whose hits include Baby and U Smile, failed to make the grade and flew into a strop as his mum tried to take him home.

   Justin said: "There was no way I was getting in the passenger seat, bawling like a ten-year-old. She kept calling me as I walked to the corner of the parking lot and stood by the street. I felt every car driving by was taunting me."

   The fuming singer admits taking out his disappointment on passing motorists.

   Writing in his book First Step 2 Forever: My Story, Justin adds: "Some girl drove by, putting on mascara as she weaved down the boulevard - but she sure had a driver's licence, didn't she?

   "Some dude cruised by in a truck, smoking a cigarette, which he tossed on the street like the world was his ashtray.

   "I bellowed after him, 'I hate you'! It felt so good. I bellowed at the next guy, 'I hate you too! And I hate you! And I hate you!'"

   Justin passed his driving test a month later in April in Atlanta, Georgia, and has since been seen driving an array of top-of-the-range cars.

   Seems like everyone is human after all then?
   

2. New driving test.

   Posted on 10:08am Sunday 17th Oct 2010

   Well now we are a couple of weeks into the new driving test, most people are begining to realise, that if your driving instructor is any good, then the "Independent Driving" part of your driving test, is something that you will have covered on your driving lessons anyway. Congratulations has to go to Josh Bradley, who took his driving test on the first day of the new tests at 11.11 and passed first time with only one driving fault. This made Josh the first Driver Training pupil to pass the new driving test and with only one driving fault, it was a pretty impressive way to do it as well!!

    Those signs you see on the roads and the large sign posts at the side of the road, hopefully are starting to become more meaningful to you as your driving lessons progress, and eventually they will help you become safer and better drivers than those around you.
