Driving test in Mk1 escort at 17, driving school car.
I remember the conversation with the examiner after he passed me.
Commented on good points like no blocking side roads if stopped etc. He did say I approached junctions/bends a bit fast but was in full control. While sitting doing the signs test with the picture book he asked what speed I would drive along the road ahead of us.
30 was my answer as it was a residential street.
He replied he would do 40!
I didn’t argue!
