    I've had nearly 20 now, but first time I got up to 70 I was shitting it too...seems a lot faster driving at 70 than being the passenger at 70!

    Well if you mean the dual carriageway down .....

    .... wadsley bridge to the roundabout before hillsbrough it's 50mph at the most, and loads of cameras, but I'm sure the instructor knows what he's doing :eek:

    Thee shut thi rattle, it's a bit worrying all these ......

    ....... young learners speeding about when they can't chuffing drive, bad enough with those that pass their test thinking they are Lewis Hamilton without the learners joining in, should get back onto the industrial estates!
