Edies Driving.

This how my husband and kids see my driving but I've never driven into hedge bottoms or off the road!
Well ok once but no one else was in the car so they can't prove it!
Then there was the lamppost but that wasn't my fault! And we went back for the bumper and it fit right back on perfectly and it wasn't .e that lost the number plate!!

In the old west, a gunner/lookout that sits up front with the stagecoach driver. Today just "front passenger".

One item of interest is that when they made westerns, the stagecoach driver actually had to be able to handle the team of horses. It takes a lot of skill to handle four or six horses at one time. Probably they had person riding shotgun not so much to protect the passengers but the treasure chest of gold bullion.

Good job this was horses and not cows or I'd say this may have whiffed of bullocks!
 
My dear old Mum was an Edie driver not crashes or going off the road , she was well into double figures to pass her test , the AA were called on so so many occasions for issues that you just wouldn't do [ first ever called to the petrol station because she didn't know how to blow up her tyres] .

First post passing her test outing , took my dad to the Coast to a place called Seaton Sluice for a drink . The road there ends with a large roundabout , first exit left Astley Arms , second exit Road to Whitley bay access to two pubs Kings Arms , Deleval Arms and Seaton Sluice Social Club , 3rd exit road around to Melton Constable .

Got onto the roundabout couldn't get of went round and round , Dad imagining his pint of beer on each of the pub counters as each exit passed , eventually plucked up the courage and went for it result ? Back off the 4th exit , the road she come to the coast on. :)

My mam bless never drove she didn't even have a bike, my mother on road would have been very similar.
 
We had a neighbour who had lessons for about 10 years, took so many tests we lost count and when she did finally pass had to give it up within a couple of years due to ill health. Quite sad really.
 
It was mentioned on one episode how many tests Edie had taken. I think it was 8, but not sure. That would be the same number of times that it took my Dad to pass.
