Stick at it.

Good morning. A couple of photo's I held back from the post about the Vintage Vehicle Gathering at the Humber Bridge. There is a story to tell about them. I was learning to drive when I was 19 - 20, my then boyfriend had a Vauxhall Cresta. He was a big man so he liked a big car. It suited his stature. He liked to show off with it. 

I had just started proper lessons with a driving school, and after the first one, boyfriend said we can go out and get you some practice in my car. I was a bit apprehensive as the Cresta was a lot bigger than the little driving school car. We found a quiet lane. It was a dead end which went nowhere. 

I drove down the length of it and when we got to the bottom he said, put it in reverse and back into that field entrance. I said I can't do that, I have only just learnt how to drive forwards. It was a column change so finding the gears was a bit difficult. He said, yes you can, so I proceeded to do the turn and go backwards.

He suddenly shouted, BRAKE BRAKE. Me in a panic I hit the accelerator instead. We shot back straight into a telegraph pole. Smashed the back lights on one side. So that was the end of that lesson. I had to pay for the damaged to be put right. 

My boyfriend changed the Cresta for a Morris 1000. Much more suitable for me to practice in I thought. I got to drive further distances in this as I had more lessons with the driving school. One day as we were tootling along my boyfriend deliberately knocked the gear lever into neutral as I was driving. I asked, what did you do that for. He said, 'you know'. I didn't. I can only guess that I was going too slow. Tensions between us became difficult. He said, and I remember it well, 'You are bloody hopeless, you will never make a driver'. 

I stuck it out with him for a while, we moved to Birmingham and got a flat. Things went from bad to worse, I won't bore you with the whole story. I moved out and got a flat share with another girl. 

So what happened after that? Eventually I went back home to Burton on Trent. Got a job delivering car spares for a garage. Got extra lessons from a driving school because I wanted to pass the Institute of Advanced Motoring test. The owner then offered me a job as a driving instructor which I accepted. This then led me to take HGV lessons and test, then PSV lessons and test. I continued to get extra training for myself, and passed more tests with the IAM and ROSPA, in cars and lorries. The rest is history.

The moral of this story is don't let anybody put you down. If you really want to do something stick at it. If you know you are right, don't back down. I wasn't 'bloody hopeless'. He was wrong. 

Thanks for reading. Toodle pip.   ilona
