Five one hour lessons - I'd booked six, but the instructor didn't turn up for one.
I'd been riding a m'bike for over a year and driving a bubble car on the bike licence. I'd had about six weeks of the RAC/ACU training before I took my bike test (1960s). The RAC/ACU scheme gave you a mock test at the end of the course (they claimed better than 90% pass rate) with the examiner following on another bike. Halfway round mine the examiner passed me and pulled me into a lay-by. I thought I must have done something really wrong. He explained he'd passed the same ice-cream van half-a-dozen times and couldn't resist it any more - did I want one?
