Blimey, doesn't time fly. I passed mine in July 1975 and my car test 6 months later. The old green licence. I just missed out on having the little red book licence You are right though, much easier back then. I pulled an accidental wheelie half way through my test and examiner never saw it and then congratulated me on an excellent ride as he issued my pass cerificate. Quote
