Ive never known someone to have it any more layed on a plate than Jade & shes just isnt interested!! 
If could go out & buy her a Ferrari Enzo tomorrow she would just turn her nose up & ask me what I expect her to do with that 
12k worth of motors bought for her & she doesnt want to learn how to drive
Ah weeeee got it way too easy, my 1st car was a £300 wrecked VW polo & I couldnt wait to drive it

I wish I could drive, it would make things a lot easier for me but I dont enjoy driving, it scares the shit out of me 
As for cars, I know nothing about them I like my mini's cos they look 
Thats as far as my interest in cars goes

To be fair her last instructor was a bit of a mini Hitler, still shouldnt just give up tho. My sister failed the test 8 times, crashed the car on a test, ran over a dog (true story) & even then she didnt give up!!

Wasting your breath Tom ive only been at her for around 18 months to learn to drive. 
Its just holding up other things on the agenda, we cant live together because jades work is 15 miles or so away from where we would stay. I certainly aint no Taxi service

Colin thats sooooo unfair
Driving scares me I've got no confidence when I'm out on my lessons, got to the stage I dreaded the time when my lessons were due! I will try again.......................................... but you need to be patient with me

Tough love darling 
I'll be as patient as a constipated person sat in the loo.......but only if you actually make an attempt to do something about driving. It is a bit of an issue, we cant plan anything else together until you do so.
