Speed would be what I failed on .............. no problems elsewhere though  ::)

Had to take a test for my Taxi badge, regular car test, marked to HGV/PSV standards, passed first time... since then Class 2, passed first time, and Class 1, passed second time, (but only because I screwed the last three feet of the reversing exercise :-[ )

Be fair to say that I can drive properly... when required :-X

I'm sure the test is much more stringent these days. So given the updated training, in a manual car with a non Edwardian box and sensible pedal travel, yes, no problem.

Taxi test was taken in my first Omega, truck tests both taken in a, then, 12 year old Volvo...

It's not that. Just that I couldn't be bothered to change gear in a manual omega. Probably leave it in third. So I'd fail on hill starts and rag it on a motorway like a right numpty. ;D
