The PH Gassing Station is a veritable treasure trove of first class procrastinating material. Cars, technology, videos, err, takeaways; you will never be short of something to further delay the actual task at hand.
Fortunately forum exploration can be passed off as work round these parts, especially where Time For Tea? videos are concerned. So a huge thanks to PHer uk66fastback for posting this little gem.
As the title implies, this video details the various exams required to be given a British driving licence in 1959. Bus drivers have to recover sliding double deckers (that they prove rather adept at), police officers play with model cars and pupils of grammar schools (because they have the space) learn the basics of driving in the playground.
It all looks far less stressful than passing a driving test in the 21st century, and the narration is fabulously prim. Keep a look out for the chief examiner of the Institute of Advanced Motorists showing is how to stop too. With a fag on the go. Splendid.
