My brother’s practical test success
My brother just passed his practical driving test.
Yes, yes, well done him – is it wrong to be annoyed?
I am very proud that he’s managed to pass, but there are a few things getting in the way of my happiness for him.
One – he’s younger than me. Two – he’s younger than I was when I passed. Three – he passed first time, when it took me four goes!Well excuse me but I just don’t think that’s fair! I was definitely ready to pass second time round – I’ll admit my nerves the first time would never have permitted me to pass straight away.
I still believe that the examiners had something against me. Maybe they were having a bad day and were just feeling mean?
I’m a safe driver – I really am. Since getting my full licence, I’ve never had a crash. I’ve not even scratched paint from the side of my car while parking, or dented the bumper on a hidden bollard.
I suppose I should just try and let go of the grudge I have against three examiners. It all happened quite a while ago now – and the only harm it really did was use up a lot of my hard-earned money…
Well done, brother. Don’t let your head get too big. I’m still better than you at loads of things!
