@ENKELI Wow that is called being thrown in the deep end.

My story getting my license is a laugh really. i did one week of driving lessons with my friends old VW after i got my learners and then went for my test. So the instructor took me into Town (Albany) and do a few things, to show i knew how to drive a car. He asked me why i wanted one and i told him i needed it for work. So then he said all good one more thing can you take me up this road and you can take me back to the station. THe road he wanted me to take is called the zigzag road by locals and is a dreadful undertaking under any circumstance let alone trying to get your driver's license.
Anhow i put my foot down for the road is very steep and took the first corner faultlessly. However to my horror the acceleration did not go down when it took my foot of the pedal. So the next corner just a few meters further i took with screaming tires. The instructor hang on for dear life third corner coming up with me trying hard to get the acceleration pedal to come back up stuck down on the floor. This had me flying out of the corner on to someone's yard taking out a rubbish bin before coming to stand still, pushing in my clutch pedal and skidding the brakes. Luckily the pedal was really stuck so we both had to pull it loose so the instructor from being upset with what happened commended me for handling the situation so well a learner.
And when i said at the back of the station i suppose next week again, belieiving i sure would not get my lincense, having him look at me and smile then pretend to be terrified, and said no way i get back in the car with you!
That was how i got my license. Me and my friend got drunk that night celebrating i drove home with my spinning head thinking how can people drive like that. For many did all the time at the time.
i do not know the real name of the street in Albany itself but it looks a bit like this but steeper.
