Hi Patricia et al, I can endorse what Nicky says! I took my Advanced Driving Test about thirty-five years ago, and found the hardest bit was the commentary one had to do whilst driving. Normally, I can talk the hind leg off a donkey (just where did that expression originate?) but when I am concentrating hard, the speech process seemed to evaporate! I don't know whether they still require a commentary, but it was certainly a trial! But it was great to have passed - and to be able to show the Advanced Driving logo on the sports car, driven by a young female person! Much to the dismay of quite a few male drivers who feel (know?) they are much better behind the wheel than us females, just because they are chaps!
