villa4europe Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 I've been on 2, both times the guys doing it thought they were in training for being a stand up, they were alright to be fair to them, both times thought it was interesting seeing the age difference and who didn't do a theory test Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Well that was 2 hours of my life I'll never get back. Better than 3 points though I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreveryoung Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Mine was actually 2 an half, with 10 minutes break, all the people were okay, apart from there's always one who likes to ask questions at the end, when you just wanna sign off. Hardest 2 hours I've done in a while though, I realised I don't have that level on concentration anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maqroll Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Aggressively chipper people. They wield their "cheerfulness" as a bludgeon to stave off authentic interaction. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got caught coming from a 70mph road into a village, got caught at 33mph. Was slowing down as I entered, but obviously not enough, so not really boy racer style. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
