Did my Class 1 back in 1991

Took 'Cat D' (Coach) middle of last year, hazzard perception was fun. :D

When I was having the training in the coach I had an old lady try to
get on the bus, :lol:  I was only practising pulling into bus stops. :roll:  

Have fun, remember whats following you, watch out for the idiots and stay safe. :wink:

Did my Class 2 in October just gone :)  having never done a hazard perception test I found that very tricky, what your seeing on the screen is not really what you see from your driving position.  Anyway passed with flying colours. :)

Gotta do my Class 1 now so I can do wagon and drag.
