The prospect of a driving test is enough to induce an attack of the vapours in most sensible folk. No such faint-hearted wimpery for driving instructors Steve Tew and Alan Timms: between them the pair recently passed 22 driving tests first time in the space of just 34 hours! In a wheeze dreamed up to promote road safety in Birmingham, each instructor drove 11 categories of vehicle, from HGVs to motorcycles. And it seems their enthusiasm for driving tests knows no bounds. Tow, 49, already has 40 qualifications and is taking a degree in driving Instruction. Meanwhile, in a bid to avoid indoor road rage, 52-year-old Timms, who is a part-time instructor and fire-fighter, has been banned by his wife from talking about driving.
