I was keen to progress in life, and my boss at that time paid for me to take driving lessons, as I asked him about driving the company delivery van. Looking back on it, I guess he saw it as an opportunity to have a company driver, but could get away in paying low wages as I was only 17-years-old.
The day of the driving test came … I failed!! Even though I was primed and ready to pass!
The second time I took my test, I had been out drinking the night before, slept in for my 8am driving lesson before my test at 9am, and on top of that I had a hangover! So I wasn’t really too bothered about being knocked out of bed in that state.
I can’t even recall the driving test, but then the examiner said, “I am pleased to inform you that you have passed your driving test.” “What?” I thought. I was awakened from my hangover and could have kissed the examiner, although the examiner was a male!
That achievement meant a lot to me, as I would be accelerated to the status of “driver”. Did I get a raise in wages? No, but so what ... I had passed my driving test at the age of 17!
