7 Things Everyone Who's Just Passed Their Driving Test Can Relate To

You become an unofficial taxi driver

This is especially true if you’re the first in your group of friends to pass their test, but even if you’re not, your newfound freedom means that you want to drive everyone everywhere.
Finding any excuse to drive

When you first pass your test, the novelty of being behind the wheel means you’ll find any excuse to drive. You might be a bit low on milk, or perhaps you need to do some recycling and fancy driving to the bottle bank on the other side of town. Whatever needs doing, you’ll find a way to do it by car.
Always offering to be designated driver

While your mates are all spending their part-time wages and student loans on cheap booze, you’re staying completely sober. They can’t understand why, but you know there’s one very good reason not to drink, and it’s parked outside. Plus, you have the added bonus of being able to drive home in the early hours when the roads are deserted.
Serious fear the first time you're unsupervised

You try to play it cool, but up until now you’ve always had someone to oversee your driving. What if something happens and you panic? What if you get to a junction and don’t know what to do? No matter how excited you might be to finally drive without a parent or instructor beside you, everyone experiences those first drive butterflies!
Pumping tunes for the first time

Chances are, unless you have seriously cool parents, they didn’t let you blast music while they taught you to drive. Once the fear of driving alone is gone, there’s nothing more satisfying than turning the music up and cruising about.
Learning the wonders of a handbrake turn

So you’ve learned the basics of car control in order to pass your test, but without a responsible adult to keep an eye on you, it’s time to learn the fun stuff. A handbrake turn is a great way to start teaching yourself how to handle a car that’s sliding, and it’s awesome fun.
Mocking people who use public transport

Now you’ve got a car, the world is your oyster! No more waiting to get the bus or train, you can now go where you want, when you want, and you’d like the whole world to know it!

I just bought crazy taxi for Xbox one. Brought back memories from almost 12yrs ago
It’s been only a year for me having my actually having a licenses and I confirm, if you’re really meant to be a driver, you will feel fear even though you’re just as excited. And finding an excuse to drive? I just drove from NYC to Georgia without stopping (about 14 hours) except for gas and still I wanted more.
Oh my god, Crazy Taxi! That brings back memories…
yeah I drove like a TW@ from the day I passed the car test til the day I started HGV lessons!
Ahh yes. I remember it like it was 17 years ago…
“without a responsible adult”…. My father was the “unresponsible adult” that taught me how to do a handbrake turn… Kkkk..
