    Depends how quick you pick it up. Just focus on mastering clutch control first.

    You need to get your driving instructor to show you how to master the art of having a sandwich and a packet of crisis whilst driving and also controlling the wheel with your knees which helps when your peeling an orange. These skills have took me a few year to master but I'm relitavely comfortable with these now. Going round roundabouts is a piece of pis5, just remember the faster you go the better your 2 wheeler will be.

    I hope this is of some help to you pal.

    Silly me, I forgot the dreaded chronicle!

    I reckon I'm another 10 Fridays away and that skill is perfected too. Up to press I've only killed 4 dogs, 6 cats, 2 pigeons and 3 humans whilst learning how to do this.

    My daughter is taking lessons at the minute. She's been taking them about six weeks and I think her instructor reckons she's about three months from test standard. She's doing a lesson a week so she'll have taken about twenty lessons by the time she takes her test - if she continues to develop at the pace she is now.

    Yorkie in one hand, Lucozade in the other while shuffling the iPod driving down the M6 at 7am on the way to Oakwell. It's a talent.

    To be fair I found the chron the hardest to perfect and I did end up taking a couple old ladies out 2 of them on scooters when I was in training but the look of approval I get from builders in their tranny vans made the hard work worthwhile, so don't give up mate it is all worth it in the end

    I'll certainly give it my best shot, I for 1 myself drive a tranny so I've a multitude of people on the road who have plenty of patience with me. It will certainly make my Fridays all the more enjoyable when I master it, just imagine chron, sandwich, crisps and a orange whilst cruising down the motorway.

    Driving bliss
