I did, of course, mean "On which attempt did you pass your driving test?" However, I was trying to avoid sounding too poncy.
I passed first time. There seem to be various articles suggesting people who do this are thickos and worse drivers.
Thickos? that's DEFINITELY true
Seriously, it's logical that people who don't pass first time may turn out to better drivers right, simply because you've had more lessons and experience, learned new skills?

I passed first time three years ago at the age of 44. Too lazy to learn before then.

2nd time and something similar for me - a car overtaking a car that was half pulled out of a drive way in between me and the overtaking car, thus entirely obscuring my view, and I "reacted too late to brake, only doing so when I saw the overtaking car" apparently the examiner felt I should have been clairvoyant and sensed the car I couldn't see...

I passed first time and have had 30, accident-free years, touch wood. So there!

Not had a lesson yet, although now I'm 40 I should probably give it a go.
Been meaning to for the past couple of years but finding the time and spare money always gets in the way.
