Caroline passes her driving test

We are happy to report that Caroline passed her driving test today, at the first attempt! We felt she was more than ready, having completed her mandatory 120 hours (including 20 at night), compared to the 50 that Laura had to do before her test. However, anything could have happened on the actual day to scupper her chances of success but luckily the weather was fine and she wasn’t too nervous.

We’d checked all the lights the week before, so were very grateful to a lady who followed us up our road the day before and stopped to tell us a brake light wasn’t working, giving us just enough time to fix it before the test! The examiner took her to a suburb we had hardly ever driven in and she spent very little time in Belrose, where most tests take place, but she coped OK and passed with no problems.

So now there are three of us fighting over the one car! Oh well, just three weeks before Laura’s off to the States, so that will make things a little easier!
