went out yesterday. 60 odd miles out to windsor and then back in via kingston . Had to curtail the distance and rather than going via Richmond pk to hammersmith . I went north from Kingson via Twickenham to Gillette corner to greenford.
got cut up at some lights by a learner who was turning left. just as he got in front of me, the lights changed and he did an emergency stop 2 foot in front of me. I rolled round to the passenger side and "give it" to the driving instructor.
The instructor remaind calm and simply nodded. I noted at the time how smartly dressed and professional she looked,
i realised a couple of miles down the road that it was more than likely a driving test and that he had just failled.
Mind you, i seemed to be cut up or pulled out on every 10 or so miles . older people mainly . They either dont see ya or miss judge your speed.
I was powered by water and malt loaf. and 1 cup of tea.
Thinking about it. todays weather was far more favorable
