To drive... an exciting experience... yes.. found it difficult ..ok   ...but soon U learn d' trade... used to it..   turned out easier... so when ...came to real Landtransport TEST driving... he came out with FLYing colours... even before reach d' deadline.. (earlier.... a month as said as should have d' real test drive.....   coz..d' car was much smaller... much easier to handle..aaa.. more..)
