Feel like a million

[Highlander1]

Got my wee girl a car for her Birthday in Oct last year an old Nissan Micra 1987 for £300s.

I spend the odd day's off and some evenings teaching her to drive. her test was booked for her 1141 this morning.

This morning I took her out of school and gave her a final hours run around before the examiner met us in the carpark.

I never booked lessons but decided to have a go at teaching her myself. We had many laughs along the way and some trials and tribulations but the experience has pulled us together and at 1230hrs she got out of her wee car with her pass certificate.

I'm made up that father and daughter were able to achieve this apart from not having to pay for a driving instructor. It has brought us so much closer together.

I got Mrs H to pick me up from the car park and let my wee lass drive herself off to school.

Now I can get a lift home from the pub.

Ive been driving one since i was 17.

An Highlander - Seriously awesome achievement!! The system is soo hard nowadays, everything has to be done spot on or its a fail, the amount of times you have to look in your mirror is ungodly!!

so congrats to you and your daughter will realise how bl**dy awesome it is to have the freedom to go anywhere... especially with Micras MPG figures... lucky g!t

Don't go telling people they can do it themselves, i'll be qualified in 3 months and every bugger will be doing it DIY, that'd be just my luck

Nice one though, even with all the teaching material and stuff i've got, and the in car practice i've done so far i wouldn't bet on being able to get someone through their test yet.

I'd love to help no fee required. I am still buzzing but like any father had my nose pressed to the front window watching for her coming home from School.

Cheers Folk. JB
She's now off to youth club and I bet the butterflies won't stop till she's back safe and sound.

Everyone thanks for your coments Miss H says thanks too.

I think driving instructor would be a thing I'd like to try after retirement.

There's a lot to it and I was perhaps too critical of her from the start but think it's the only way.

I couldn't sleep a wink last night and the night before Mrs H woke me up apparently I was mumbling BBC Brake before clutch now. PSL and MSM to my daughter in my sleep.
