I`ve never had any learner`s training but have had some advanced. A mate`s mum used to work at the driving licence centre, the DVLC (later the DVLA) in Swansea, which was just up the road from me. She used to hand out full driver`s licences for 5 quid a time. I had a full car and bike licence when I was only 15!!! I`ve never sat a car or bike driving test, but I did a tracked vehicle (tank) and Truck licence when i was in the Army. Later on, I did the advanced bike test with the Metropolitan Police, it was great, I learned a few things but more importantly, I learned to rationalise things that I had been doing intuitively for many years and was able to improve on them.
