    ****ing typical. When I was in High School, all the good fifth and sixth years had much older boyfriends.
    Now I'm in my thirties, I've been advised to stay away from High Schools.
    ****ing life.

    I've got my Theory test tomorrow, not had any formal lessons, but I've been driving quite a few times. I stall it quite a lot, and the worst I've done is scrape the door against a granite wall.

    5th = 15-16 doing what were called O Levels in my day
    6th = 16-18 A Levels

    Basically, if they're in the 6th form, they must be legal (except if you're a teacher).

    Too many idiots on the road, raise the minimum driving age to 25.

    I am currently banned until next April. <grr>

    Don't have to do my test again though, just some ****ty course that teaches you not to drive after an extremely heavy night (and morning), drive into a bridge and flip your car onto the roof... <ok>

    A worthwhile lesson.
