I took my test in April 1969, 3 months after my 17th birthday. The Tester and I came out of Test Centre,Trend House, in Northgate, Wakefield and he asked me to read off the number of a blue Triumph Herald parked up the road. This I did but he said I was wrong. Tried again and wrong again. Third time, wrong again with him saying it was *** ***, not what I'd said three times. Then the penny dropped. Oh, you mean this blue Triumph Herald here, I was looking at that other one up there! That hurdle jumped he obviously thought 'smart arse' so he announced that today, he wanted me to do the entire test using hand signals only, no indicators. Biggest problem was remembering not to flick the indicators on but I must have done OK as I passed.
