    Driving tests aren’t all that easy in the UK. Not the hardest in the world by a long stretch but they’re very easy to fail.

      The practical is hard. The theory is pretty basic. One of the questions I had was

      You’ve just had a heated argument and are in a bad mood, but you need to drive somewhere. Do you:

      • Drive with some calming music
      • Drive fast to your destination and try not to think about it
      • Drink an alcoholic drink to calm down while you’re driving
      • Wait until you’ve calmed down completely before driving

      The UK’s driving test is one of the hardest in the world apparently. A lot of them in other countries don’t even take place on actual roads.
