Riding your bike around is cool when you're a popular mountain biker. People don't make fun of you because you're talented and have lots of friends. Too bad I wasn't a popular guy. I rode my bike to and from everywhere I went because I didn't have my license yet. One time I had to tried to make my bike look better by adding a motor.... big mistake. Let's just say you shouldn't add a motor to a bike that doesn't need nor want a motor.

This is the story of how I turned my driving lesson into the biggest mess I have even been involved in. So I went to take my test in my friends auto, she told me that it was perfectly ready. It had recently had a tune-up and the motor was running great. She assured me that I would have no problems at all, and that I would pass my test with flying colors.

I smiled proudly at my younger sister as she excitedly told me every detail of this weeks lesson. She'd been taking driving lessons for a few months now, and each and every one she took saw her confidence growing, her excitement bubbling over and her one step nearer to buying that little blue car she had been carrying a picture round of for the past two years. I struggled not to laugheach week when she saw onealmost identicalappear on the auto web site and nearly wet herself, this week being no exception!

I tutted for the millionth time as I quite moodily dropped my phone onto the floor. I had spent the last hour and half trying to price skip hire up for my house move. Only to be face with a barrage of questions 'how many cubic yards miss' how the heck should I know? I want a skip for crying out loud not a perfectly measured greenhouse 'and what will you be putting in it please miss' what? Is that really relevant? I mean I'm moving house with a two year old and have two years of my rubbish and his rubbish to relieve myself of, your guess is as good as mine! I had visions of five different coloured skips rowed neatly outside my front door, one for each kind of material, all to be washed, lids removed, squashed if appropriate.

I continued to click the mouse wildly from one site to another, getting more and more frustrated by the conflicting information each one provided. The service manager had asked me a couple of hours ago to gather some information on the the local areas skip hire costs. Yet, so far nothing seemed reasonable, and every company had it's good parts and bad parts. It was becoming a mission and a half. I finally printed one off and sent it in the direction of his desk, deciding it would have to do. Half of me couldn't understand why on earth the company was spending money on skips with everything else they were moaning about right now.

I am a new driver, new to the roads and that whole experience, i have a bike and that's been with me forever it seems, i am happy with that but with the weather later i have to split my time between my bike and a car so i can inside and my bike wont get rusted with the whole weather thing. I joined a driving school and i am loving it so far, i had to do an online test to try and get into one of the schools and finally got excepted into one, its really great, there is some great teachers there and they really want to have the best drivers to come out of there students so we all want to to that, there is people of all ages in my class and from all walks of life who want to learn to drive and get out there onto the roads. I study a lot at home, i want to take this very serious as its so important to be good on the road for safety as well of course which is a major issue on the roads it can be dangerous for many if someone is out on the road and is driving to fast or even has no idea what they are doing its to risky and i never want to like that plus i know i am not alone in my thinking's.

The county where I live is the worst in the south for traffic accidents for young drivers. We have problems here with young drivers. It doesn't matter if they are in a classic car, a new truck, or a motorbike. We had one kill another one veering off the highway just enough to hit or and miss the car she was standing behind her dad was changing a flat and hit his teenagedaughter last year. It is constantly something going on around here with these kids. We've had several motorbike fatalities in the past year as well. They say it because of gas prices and it's cheaper for the young drivers to use them. It's unfortunately more dangerous for them too.

My husband and I run a nice place. I like to call it a driver’s home away fromhome. I was checking into the prices for skip for hire the other day and found out that how days it is used isn't so important as the amount of waste deposited into them. Each and every hgv (heavy goods vehicle driver) driver who uses it for any number of things like to have it available to deposit waste and I have left a print out of theirinstructionas towhat they can and can't use it for.

Published Friday, 19th Jun 21:06 BST
The skip bin hire firm (formerly the local skip hire firm, and before that Death Inc) were busy with the first practical test of their new car. It was a skip, to which they had attached wheels, wings and a jet engine. In this way they hoped to revolutionise the motor trade industry; why, they reasoned, would anyone want to buy a normal boring ordinary old car when they could buy a rocket powered flying skip? This logic fitted many of their previous plans, in that it was completely nonsensical and utterly pointless to fit wings to a skip. It just wasn't aerodynamically suited for flying, and deep down in their heart of hearts everyone at the skip hire firm knew that. But they were bored, and this was something to do to pass the time. It would get the motor trade commission of their backs too.
