Cars

It's time. This time it really, really is time. I presume I can get driving lessons during work time; I need to do the COA on my license.

Any recommendations for driving schools/teachers in Cambridge?

I've had a dozen lessons in 1990 and again in 2000; circumstances (and lack of enthusiasm) stopped me getting as far as a test. I passed the theory test a few years ago but it's expired now. I'm okay pootling on traffic-free roads but poor at judging my space/position. I am vg at turn-in-the-road and vb at reversing. N is happy to put me on her car's insurance and take me to practice manouevring after I've had some lessons.

Ah, I'd heard mutterings about instructors wanting you to pass the theory test before you sit in a car, but I guess this hasn't become widespread. I've not done the hazard perception test before!

I suppose it's possible some instructors feel like that. If you're worried ring them and ask!

This bit of their webpage seems to agree with me though :-)
