Many fail in their first attempt laura. I agree that whosover has not passed the practical should not be on the road.
But, IMO, this guy shows a hell of lot interest to be a "better driver".. I don't think he is the one to be told to be off the road.. I am sure will pass the practical, if not soon, but oneday. when he does, I am sure he will be a good driver.
(I passed the practical in my first attempt.. that was a pleasant surprise.
I had hardly taken 10 lessons with a proper instructor.. Balan was teaching me before.. (that was nightmare time for both of us
) I asked my instructor for pass-plus lessons.. He said I will be fine without that... that was a compliment.. Balan didn't beleive I passed, when I gave him the news..
Balan took two attempts to pass.)
