Liveline: Thread with no name, Host with no shame

take the keys off her

"nerve wrecking"

Dan Jaman

Seriously, if it takes nine attempts to pass, one should question one's ability to drive safely in the long term.

TinyMuffin

after 5 you should be given a bike.

9 tests over 15 years....jaysus...

Maybe would be safer for everyone else if she didn't get her license...

TinyMuffin

must have been a terrible experience for the tester too.

cher nobyl

'or they' 🤣🤣

2smiggy

maybe the examiner didn't want to crash into the oncoming lorry Lorraine

Can I have a look at your Dip Stick? LiveLine 2024

She's taken the test 9 times.

After the third or 4th attempt, would you not resolve to yourself that maybe driving is not for me?.

This one sounds like an Irish "Maureen from Driving School".

2smiggy

so the car falling apart too

leath_dub

He did what to you over the bonnet missus?

There's a tester in a Dublin test centre known as 'the black widow' by local driving instructors due to her high fail rate.

Busi_Girl08

Well that's a car not in functioning manner surely?

archfi

After 15 lessons donkeys years ago, I realised I'd probably kill a multitude of people and/or meself so gave it up.

ebbsy

Stick to the bus darling.

shearforce

is she correct?

I looked it up on google and Audi A2 bonnet opens like any other car

cher nobyl

an absolutely banjaxed car would do that alright

gmisk

What is the point of this call? She took a load of attempts to pass her test...and?

The tester was shouting at her.

Joe: What was he shouting?

Caller: He was shouting "get back onto the right side of the road! / We're gonna DIE!"

my friends wife went for driving lessons finally in her 40's, after 1 lesson he asked her is there any need for you to drive !! She was happy to never try again, and my friend agreed

"De Dipstick test"

Terrontress

I had an A2, and she’s right, you can’t open the bonnet without removing it. But there’s a service hatch with dipstick, washer bottle filler, oil filler.

She shouldn’t have had to have taken the bonnet off.

And it’s fairly easy to get off and on.

TinyMuffin

been a while since I did the dipstick test in a car.

zell12

Has she no shame? on national radio?

Maybe it was the Motorsprot version, carbon fibre bonnet with spikes.

Arghus

It is a nerve wracking experience.

And if you've failed it a few times I could see how the pressure could get to you.

Was she driving on the roads with a provisional between all these failures?

sligeach

Joe: "He failed you over the bonnet?"

😳 He could have done something worse over the bonnet.

mountain

Duffy wants a blow by blow account of her driving test. Ffs.

He has it in for the RSA again today

caller driven show me arse

archfi

What's the complaint or is this just anecdotes about wannabe drivers?
