You are an inspiration- who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks? I am 59 and would love a new skill that is so transformative

Thanks all :) xx

Congratulations! Make sure you now use your new skill, so many women seem to pass their test and then drive very little. You may find it useful to get a few extra lessons of motorway driving, depending on your level of confidence.
