Booked my tractor test about 2 months ago, all set for next week, turns out my instructor has had an accident or is on long term sick leave and he can't do my test till the middle of July.

I have a job requiring me to drive tractors starting at the end of June.

Called up a local driving school. Got first 3 lessons for £19!! First one on Friday. Hopefully I can pass my test in time.

So, my question is, how many hours of lessons did you have before passing? Also include any previous experience you had.

e.g. me, driving tractors since I was 12 on and off. Motorbikes off road since 14 I guess, ped when I was 16 and been on the road since and I am now 18.

Just been out with mum in pug 306. 1st 5 mins I was all over the place but got better. Then I got the hang of being off centre.


300000% more boring to drive than riding my 125 or a tractor.
