Oi - I've been driving longer than most of my fellow students have been alive!! Even driven buses before (when I was 21!! :lol: ).

Let's see how many people are unhappy about having a woman driver in these vehicles! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :angelic-green: :angelic-green:

So basically the qualification is the creme de la creme of qualifications here. So that's probably worth the three months of stress!! LOL

And, they've given me trailer rights as well :shock: :shock: :shock:

I DO NOT want to have to reverse with a trailer!! I know how, I understand the process, it just doesn't happen - and thats with a small trailer (dinghy or bike) or caravan!!

FFS!! LOL

Anyway -

Just got to get confirmation from the girl in the training school office that she can do the licence bit for me as I still can't access the ANTS site (due to them not understanding about legal names!!)

But I have the CQC certificate and the tacho card. Once she confirms that the application is in for the driving licence and sends the paper to confirm, I can drive buses!! :D :D

We know how much grief this has caused you (dodgy 'instruction', translation & comprehension woes, fellow students, unintended pressure from your boss).

But we also know how much it means to you and the effort you have put in.

Well done!

Well done. :thumbup:

Is now a good time to crack the old joke, 'I want to die quietly in my sleep, just like my grandad the bus driver...not screaming in terror like all his passengers'?
