Forgot to answer this.
1. Legal age in Belgium is 17 years and 9 months. Which for me was on 11 May 1992. I passed my licence on 12 may 1992
2. Passed first time as well theory and practice exams.

Goodness. So you only have a few years left anymore where you will find a scoob exciting and afterwards it will be Merc E220 CDi auto all the way
How does it actually feel to be on your way back knowing you will never be as strong or fit anymore as you ever were ? ![Confused :?](./images/smilies/icon_confused.gif)

Yes the WR1 is starting to feel like a younger mans car, my slippers keep slipping on the alloy pedals!
As for not being as strong and fit, maybe you shouldn't judge everybody by your own standards !!!

I've been driving for 10 years
Passed first time, however someone did do a hit and run on me. The examiner checked the car was ok and still legal, which it was as was small bump and asked me to continue ![Surprised :o](./images/smilies/icon_surprised.gif) I was bit nervous then but still managed to pass
Passed when was 17.

doesn't feel that long ago, and I pretty much remember the whole 45 mins it took to complete the test route.
Past first time after 8 lessons a shade over 15 years ago....
Crikey....now I feel even older.

20 years this year, passed on 2nd attempt.

Just been reading through the answers, Swede only 1 day to pass your test ![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif) take it you did a lot of driving on private land before being test age? Don't think anyone's going to top you for for that record on here.
