Sounds a bit like my experience Graeme. I had been driving tractors, crawler tractors, the farm jeep, and a 10 ton Mercedes-Benz truck (to deliver grain 25 km to the rail silos at Tullibigeal during the harvest) before I even had a learner's permit. When I took my test I don't even remember doing any exam let alone a written one. The sergeant at Lake Cagelligo probably asked me a few basic questions and then got me to drive him around the "block". At one point he said "turn left here" and I turned into a sort of layby at the side of the dirt road. "No not here", he said, "At the next road." I turned back onto the road and bumped over the berm convinced I had failed. When we got back to the police station he got me to park and then, much to my surprise, told me to wait while he prepared my licence.

The motorcycle test I did in another place and simply involved going down the road, doing a U turn without putting my foot down and coming back.
