I really shouldn’t be slagging you guys off, after all, I only passed the test in the nick of time myself (a mere two weeks ago), but fuck it, I can’t help myself!

Ok, so I’m being a bit harsh but there’s an awful lot of people who just don’t seem to get it. As I went to my local tax office last week to apply for the full licence, I saw a man in his mid-60’s who was practically demanding his test before the deadline. The lady behind the counter asked him if he had applied for the test to which he answered, “What does it look like I’m doing?”… He was on his 8th provisional licence.

An acquaintance of mine has been driving for the last 3 years with no licence at all. Not even the provisional one.

A woman I work with sat her test recently (after 11 years of driving), but couldn’t control her nerves and told the tester that she couldn’t go through with it. She had driven only 200 yards…

I saw in the news that 2 people practically wrote off their cars, by pulling out in front of oncoming traffic, whilst leaving the test centre to begin their driving test. Both accidents occured at the same test centre in Tallaght, and only 3 days apart from each other. Idiots.

I’ve noticed the number of cars displaying L plates has increased dramatically over the last few months. I wonder if they’ll all be coming down again this morning? There’s still around 370,000 provisional licence holders in Ireland. If we assume that 1/2 of them are people who need their car to get to work this morning, then there’s either going be a lot of cunts breaking the law, or the roads are going to be very quiet.

The Gardai are going to have some craic today…
